Who is the current baddest man on the planet?

They can do that in an MMA fight too.

 

Canelo toyed with GGG in their last fight.

Sylvia fought Abe Wagner at Titan Fighting Championships 16 (Sylvia replaced Todd Duffee), Sylvia weighed in at 311 pounds and was defeated 32 seconds into the first round, ending his 4 fight win streak. The super heavyweight matchup served as the main event of Friday night's HDNet-broadcast event, which took place at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan.

Wagner's speed advantage was evident in the opening seconds, and he looked to pepper Sylvia with strikes on multiple levels as he retreated and stayed away from his opponent's length. Then a right hand brought about the beginning of the end.

Wagner caught Sylvia on the temple, and the former UFC champ was visibly staggered. As "The Maine-iac" tried to recover, Wagner went on the assault with jackhammer punches that chased Sylvia across the cage. Sylvia avoided the shots as he retreated, but once he reached the cage, Wagner landed a four-punch combination that saw his opponent slump to the canvas. Referee Jason Herzog wasted little time in rushing in to call the fight, and the decision was justified when Sylvia stumbled as he returned to his feet. The entire process took just 32 seconds.

He was no longer under contract with the UFC because he was shot: Adrenaline MMA 3: Bragging Rights

 

On February 25, 2009, Sylvia's manager (and Adrenaline MMA CEO) Monte Cox announced that Sylvia would face former boxing world heavyweight champion and 1988 Olympic gold medalist Ray Mercer in a boxing main event at Adrenaline MMA III on May 30, 2009, at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort in Atlantic City. However, after the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board refused to sanction the fight, the event was moved to Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center in Birmingham, Alabama and rescheduled to June 13. Only days before the bout, it was changed to be contested under MMA rules, again because of sanctioning problems. When they finally met, Mercer knocked Sylvia out with a single punch nine seconds into the first round. Sylvia weighed in at 310.6 pounds for the Super Heavyweight fight.

If that was so why did Canelo gas so easy. He was wailing away just hitting air or punches were blocked
GGG jabbed him in the face at will waiting for the inevitable gassing. One mistake he made was he waited too long to start fighting. As it was Canelo was exhausted if that fight was a 15 rounder GGG would have KO'd him

 

Ngannou can’t be the baddest man on the planet after playing it safe vs Gane in their fight.. After realizing Gane was the more skillful fighter standing up he proceeded to lay on Gane for the next 3 rounds. No ground and pound just simply got him to the ground and payed there.. Any other fight the red would have stood them up for not doing any work on the ground.

 

And he's going to wait while you're slow ass picks him up to throw him. He will bust you up before then

 

Ngannou is bad indeed, but he's only been fighting once a year now since 2020. That's not going to cut it.

I would currently go with Joe Joyce

 

He was always a fatso. Mercer weighed a ton for that fight too.

 

The guy i was responding to said it could never happen, I simply showed it had.
