    Can he beat an old Chisora?

    Helenius would probably be too much for him judging on AJ fights. Wallin too.

    He can beat Wilder. And that is a interesting fight for me, as i don't like Wilder. But that will hurt Boxing big time. As then Ngannou has a 100% legitimacy claim that he beated Fury and then Wilder.

    Chisora, Whyte or Wilder at the top of the chain.

    More winnable but less sellable: Washington, Martin, Arreola, Miller.

    Actually Miller would be a logical fight to make as he's an ex-kickboxer with limited mobility and skills. I'd pick him above the others.

    I don't think beating Wilder hurts boxing; it just hurt Wilder.

    It's probably not a fight I'd recommend Ngannou's team to pursue though. Not until Ngannou gets more experience under his belt.

    I think Wilder lays him out, but not as quickly as AJ (Wilder lacks that timing).

    Wilder, even current, is way more dangerous fight for Ngannou than 2023 version of Fury

    I'd like to watch Ngannou vs current versions Chisora or Arreola though.

    Wilder was a long time Champion. This is why i think it's going to hurt Boxing. But yeah it will expose both Fury and Wilder as what they are.

    It's a personal view. I think if Ngannou still has his chin after that AJ KO, he will beat Wilder and KO him. Wilder just doesn't have any defense, and Ngannou sheer power will destroy Wilder. I also think Wilder power is hugely overrated to be fair. He was never in with any good chin guy. Actually he was with Dushapau, who Wilder couldn't drop even once, same guy Povetkin stretched out in 7 rounds or so. And Parker, and we know how that ended.

    Ngannou chin is for real, but this type of KOes is the one that took something out of you, and shatter granite chins.
    To be fair i didn't think AJ will able to KO him straight up. I though it would have been Wallin type of performance, and either a KO due to exhaustion or quit on the stool.
    But AJ is a f**** monster. The guy is so explosive it's unreal.

    Not a chance he beats Wilder, Wilder will sniper Ngannou’s head clean off.

    Wilder, Whyte, Chisora, and Ruiz. All entertaining and potentially winnable fights for Ngannou given their respective skills/inactivity/age.

    Still think Wilder would lay him out but it would be entertaining.

    I think he'd have plenty of chance vs guys like Chisora, Whyte, Helenius and Miller assuming what happened just then hasnt completely broken his confidence and chin. Wouldnt even count him out completely in a Wilder fight tbh.

    But i'm not all that interested in seeing any of it at this point honestly. I think everyone just needs to stay in their ****ing lane from now on and respect each other.

    I guess you were saying the same thing for Joseph Parker, didn't you?
    But explain me exactly why was Wilder not on the card? He was offered both Zhang and Parker fights, and he declined them both. The guy is a fraud and want to feast on bums.

    Ngannou's chin is fine, but he isn't used to take a great and well-timed punch at all. There are levels in this game.

    It's like Ustinov (who had like 70 fights in kickboxing and never was dropped) fought Pulev, got hit with well-timed straight right hand in round 2 and got badly hurt. Later Pulev dropped him with a well-placed jab. Ustinov had granite chin. And Pulev isn't AJ in terms of punching power by any means

    That's why I think that even if AJ had Fury's punching power, he'd still KO Ngannou, it would just take more punches for him. Timing is the key.

    I doubt he can even win to Yoka.

    Ngannou is not a boxer, ffs! Deal with it.

    He's made a boatload of money, I think his plan will be to go back to MMA and that's probably a good idea. Chisora, Helenius, Miller are winnable(and losable) fights for him but that's the level he should be starting with.
