I don't know, that's a harder question than Tyson. Joe is tough and hits hard, but he's there to get hit unlike Tyson. There's the question of what happens not if but WHEN Ngannou lands in that fight, whereas the question of Tyson is an IF he can even land.
It'd be a good fight. Though I would want Francis to fight White first to see how good he is in the ring. Then he can work his way up. No point fighting Tyson because there is no way he'll win that.

If he does that in a boxing ring, he’s not connecting anything.
From what I've heard, Ngannou was an amateur boxer that was gonna be a pro boxer but someone make him think twice and change to become a mma fighter instead. So I think his little experience might help but how long would that last though, imagine if Ngannou was a boxer instead. Boxing heavyweight would've been different

@@REDANDSILVER741 wrong sir. There are levels to power and a boxer only focuses on one aspect in striking and that’s punching. Where as mma they have to train in all variety of strikes. A mma punch is not equivalent to a boxers punch.

Did you see what Overeem did to that before Overeem undefeated fighter from Russia whatever his name is the guy they call the white niguano I thought Overeem killed him it was everybit as brutal as he did 10 yrs ago against Lesnar and that shows us this that Jones is still really got no challengers yet especially that he is heavyweight, I deeply believe Nagauno is looking for money and looking to avoid Jones he would have to turn back time and wrestle.
It doesn't matter if you think whether he has a chance in the boxing ring or not. The fact is that you're talking about it and if he's going to fight in thw boxing ring you Are going to watch. This is all that matters
Disagree. He will get paid, but if he gets stretched out in the 1st round it'll be a one time thing. I think he is hoping for more than that. He needs a tune up fight. If he gets in there with any top 20 HW, he is gonna lose.
watching it? absolutely! Paying for it? hell no lmao i and millions others will pirate it, why pay for a fight that won’t make it to the third round? Francis doesn’t have even a shot at winning against any top 5, and he barely has a punchers chance against any in the top 10. He hits hard but the rest of the HW boxing division literally hits harder and lands more frequently. His punchers chance is barely even viable
That’s a pretty simplistic analysis. Didn’t Fury get dropped 4 or 5 times by Wilder? Fury likes to put all of his weight on his opponents to wear them down. That might not work in this case. The fighter who can work on Fury inside might have the opportunity to defeat Fury, or at least make it interesting. Also, the fighter who can grapple with Fury might have greater success. We all know Fury likes to slobber all over his opponents. Fury is overrated. Let’s see Fury fight Joyce. And no, I’m not a Wilder fan. Just looking for Fury to truly challenge himself. Wilder can’t box, so therefore not impressive wins.
@@swineburn Saying Wilder "can't box" is going way too far. He boxes well enough that he's landed his big shots on every opponent he's faced. Including Fury. You can't do that when you can't box.

I would never tell a man like Ngannou that he couldn't beat anyone in boxing because he'd probably go and do it. He chose MMA/UFC mixed martial arts, it doesn't mean that he couldn't come into boxing and do well. He has the tools and power, to compete with anyone. He'll get the best trainers available just because of who he is. I promise any professional fighter in the heavy weight division is not taking this guy lightly..
You don’t know much about sports at all , I’m a beat up old man whose had a few amateur fights I’m pushing 50 and I’d outbox Francis or any of them ufc fighters who can’t box, there’s no boxing experience , it takes years to learn how to box not months, it’s similar if you say he could compete against Steph Curry because of his excellent mindset , it’s just not true , he’s an mma champion that’s what he is, he’s not God, but keep dreaming I guess

@@happenedsafe6254 no. Francis went through hell to train to become a boxer. His coaches advised him to get into mma because money. These are guys who started training late. Many of them went into mma because it was paying out better at the lower levels abs its easier to advance. Most these guys train 3 different disciplines at a time. Striking, jui jitsu, and wrestling /grappling. Alex Pereira was doing boxing, kick boxing and mma before he joined ufc.
@v Francis will get killed. Wilder has years of experience and 42KO's to go with that devastating right hand. Ngannou has almost no experience at all. It'll be a slaughter.
Thing is with Francis and wilder, he’d have to go easy on him like it’s an expedition. If wilder wanted to he could just punch straight through Francis guard and knock him out
Everybody is talking about Francis Nganuu power,Every heavyweight boxer has power. And when you talk about guys like Wilder,AJ, Fury,Joy Joyce,Usyk. Francis has no chance in Boxing against them.
Way harder to land shots with the 10 oz gloves, he’s got gonna be able to rip through peoples guard’s anymore, he’s gonna have to set stuff up, the bigger gloves don’t let you get as clean punches off necessarily
This is very simple: Ngannou pussied out of the UFC because he did not want to fight Jon Bones Jones. That simple. Now in boxing? He has a punchers chance. And that is it. Anyone in the top 10 would whoop his ass in the heavyweight division. Unless Ngannou gets lucky? He does not stand a chance against any of these men.
its west african muscle, it's "all show and no go". i mean that in a relative way because obviously francis is a freak athlete but he's a FREAK FREAK in terms of how he looks, considering the way he trains. same with Usman really, his back is unreal. bodybuilders would KILL to have his gigantic thicc fluffy back muscles. but he's not allegedly any stronger than other guys his weight. i only do muay thai but can see it there when we clinch, the big thicc boys of west african background look huge but their weight and strength doesn't seem to correlate with it
Think about this AJ attained his physique from weight training EXTENSIVELY. Ngannou just finally attained a sustainable food source. Ngannous training does incorporate some weight lifting, but the movements are all explosive or athletic movements, and high reps. He can definitely transition into boxing.
MMA people are delusional af thinking those guys can compete with high level boxers. If there WERE one exception though, it'd be Francis. For one, the heavyweight division is weak af right now, and for two, he has the equalizer so he already has a good punchers chance. But I'd say Francis would still be a pretty big underdog against someone like Tyson Fury..
I don't get where people are getting this idea that Conner did well against Mayweather. He had a significant size advantage over a 40 year old with frail hands. If he was fighting someone of similar size like Canelo he would have died.
Bro wilder is going to murder Francis, tyson will use just a jab and dance around Francis, any fighter in the top 10 or middle of the top 30 will beat Francis easy. . I want him to fight wilder because i want Francis to get the bag on his way to the hospital
i think the best pairing for a fight would be Joe Joyce similar physik and slow heavy hittiing motion ,when he can handle him im sure he has a promising boxing carrer, after i watched them sparr i think it would be a realy interesting fight like Foreman vs Foreman
I don't see it being good for Ngannou. He couldn't outbox Miocic. He just out powered him and managed to finally get some grappling done. Wilder would even outbox him. But if I'm Wilder I call for that fight, its easy money + big money. EASY ADVERTISING TOO. Hardest hitter in MMA vs Harder hitter in Boxing. How can that not be promoted easily?
he will make generational wealth plus test himself in boxing. Every fight with Ngannou will be huge especially in boxing because of his monsterous power
He'll have to learn how to defend himself if he goes up against any top heavy weight. Plus would he have enough stamina to last many rounds? Good luck to the man.
Anybody who knows striking knows Francis has raw talent and has only improved Every fight. Not many boxing guys could go in there against the talent he faced, and finish them the way he did. Plus he is very humble and confident so he will do very well because of his indomitable spirit and positive mindset
Boxers couldn't have done what Francis did for the same reason that Francis is highly unlikely to be competitive in boxing. They're entirely different sports with very different skill sets, concerns, and tactics. A good attitude and athleticism aren't going to get you very far, you need actual skills developed for the sport in hand. That's not a knock on Francis, it's just the reality of the situation and it's why successful crossover is so rare.
@@mobiusflammel9372 Francis knocked out pro k1 kickboxers in seconds he has a pretty good chance to do decent in boxing. You have a guy who is a master athlete but only a good boxer verse a guy who is a master boxer but only a good athlete.. it's a 50 50 fight
@@mobiusflammel9372 actually maybe 60 40 for the master boxer to win. But my point is good boxing with high athletism can complete with master boxers. Conor is an example. A high level athlete with good boxing First go round with a master boxers and master athlete in Mayweather he went 10 rounds.. now Francis is even more athletic but maybe not as technically precise as Conor but it's hard to say because Francis is a gorilla who throws constant bombs when he sees opening in a heavier division so technique isn't so important but still he displays a good level of it. Francis with his athletism and fight IQ he will be able to hang with the boys in the ring if he ever makes the walk you will see
@@user-mw4qi1kx3o you mma fans are so fucking deluded. mayweather carried conor, mcgregor was a ko artist in ufc and had no power in boxing, just like woodley never got brutally ko'd until he fought in the ring against a youtuber. nganou picked mma at 27 years old because nobody in the history of boxing will ever become a top boxer picking up the sport that late, it was easier for him to become a ufc champ than a world champ in boxing. boxing takes years and years of practice the skill level requirements are far higher than they are in the ufc where you got part time real estate agents fighting and shit.
What people are forgetting is anyone can punch in 4 ounce gloves 10-12 ounce is completely different thing I'm not saying he won't still hit hard but you need a more than that against the best heavyweights they will be able to block his punches better and they won't be as hard, he has no technique just swangs and bangs against real boxers he will boxed around. McGregor didn't do well against Mayweather he got carried for 6 round until he gassed that was Mayweather's tactics McGregor's footwork and defence was none existent it's two completely different sports
Trust me, I've done both, there's not much of a difference because of the padding position. Most weight on boxing gloves is the thumb, and the left side of the gloves. The knuckles have about the same amount of thickness as a UFC glove.
Everyone just assumes Francis stands no chance when he literally been training boxing before he started training MMA. Dude can hit harder than 99% of Heavyweight boxers. You match him up with AJ or Wilder. There’s a solid chance he drops them and even upsets them.
No sir you’re wrong. I’m tired of telling you mma fans how hard it is to transition into this sport. These guys consistently train in punching and have outstanding armature records. It’s entirely different than mma. Francis can be a great exhibition boxer but professionally he’s getting dragged into the deep waters.
@@louieoverhand9264 This isn’t any MMA fighter. This is the hardest hitter in MMA History. Sure Tyson Fury and Usyk might be skillful enough to nullify that power but other Heavyweights are prone to getting hit. Everyone wants to know how his power translates in boxing. If it’s anything close, he doesn’t need 10-20 years of skill to be successful.
@@REDANDSILVER741 absolutely skill will be his weaknesses. These veterans will pick that man apart. His power is not boxing power. Stop the hype. You mama fans said the same damn thing when mcgregor crossed over and said his timing and power would give a boxer problems
He gets smoked by the right hand. No matter how much power he doesn’t have the defensive capabilities to avoid it until he can land his shot and Wilder can put anyone to sleep with straight shots especially. Wilder knows his range much better, is clearly the better boxer, and is used to the ring, gloves, rules, instincts, etc. As a mma practitioner that switched to boxing for a period of time it is very different when in the ring the defensive side is the most difficult to adapt to, range is different since there’s only punches to worry about, everything from the stance, movement, blocking/parrying all has to be adapted to and he can’t close the gap in a short period of time.
🤨The only thing I'm interested in seeing in 2023-24 is: Fury vs Usyk Wilder vs AJ Ruiz vs Fury Wilder vs RUIZ Usyk vs WILDER.... THESE FIGHTS SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE LONG TIME AGO. ALL THIS OTHER CRAP IS JUST SIDESHOW fights w/Engonu🙄😔😔😔
Let's not forget Francis first wanted to pursue boxing but then did MMA cause his coach said it would be faster dont sleep on em I think he got something in the bag
I don't understand how you guys try to compare Francis to Wilder, how come you guys forget who Francis is??? That man is a beast!! No one punches like him. His Genetics is mad!!
Plus ngannou stands a better chance securing better fights under ufc as a promotion like mcgregor… if he uses an external promotion he’ll face problems
Do not underestimate Ngannou remember that back in Africa he was training only boxing after arriving in France he switched to mma because of his ex trainer Fernand Lopez who advice him to join this sport. The learning curve is easier in boxing than in mma.
I think the best matchup would be against Wilder. Don’t get me wrong, I think its a mistake for Ngannou to get in the ring with him. He’d get knocked out cold, but Wilder is a great matchup on paper. They are the most powerful punchers in their respective sports and ppl will think bc of Wilder’s unorthodox, wild style that Ngannou will have a hail mary punchers chance.
Fury schools Ngannou anyday in a boxing ring, power alone is not enough. In fact, I'd pick anyone in the top 5 over him as it stands. He needs more than power to fight the best.
Francis’s power in boxing is just average imo hes a heavy hitter for ufc but in boxing i dont see it, everyone is a big puncher in the hw division. A b level fighter would spark him
Dude he only has a hail Mary chance at beating any top ten heavyweight. The only fight I might wanna see is against Wilder just because his brawler style of fighting but he won't get beat by Ngannou either. He should just go back and fight Jones
This is madness. Francis would get beat tf up by every single heavyweight mentioned in this video. He better try to see what Charles Martin is up to. Great video though.
@@tube56t53 Ngannou is a literal superhero compared to Wilder. Much more than just power with him. Ngannou has a fearsome chin, and ability to cut off angles. He might shock the world of boxing.
@Searching for Ufos There are many big guys true but not built like Ngannou, though. We're talking about a fighter that's NEVER failed a USADA test, tipping the scales at North of 290lbs standing 6'4 tall. Someone who matured and developed through 7 years of hard, grueling labor designed for a man begining from the age of 10. Somebody who always went to bed hungry for most of the entirety of his childhood. Somebody that understands pain.
@Searching for Ufos Lmao Miller was NOT more muscular than Francis though. In fact many could easily argue that MORE of Francis bodyweight is pure muscle than Miller. 🤡 Also Hafthor was stiff, and SLOW. He had no snap in his punches they were more like pushes than punches. He'd have made a great NFL player if he kept that size and power, but he wasn't natural at all. Francis would also MURDER Thor in any combat sport.
Sorry to say but Francis will get knocked out by a true heavyweight boxer. All he has is a punchers chance. He is not a boxer. Go fight Jon Jones. That is what most combat fans want to see.
The biggest problem for Francis would be his cardio.
And experience
The biggest problem is that he will likely be knocked out bad and his boxing career will only last 1 or 2 fights. The question is will it have been worth it?
@@user-xb6dk4zl7l well considering one boxing fight could get him easily 30-50 million while his contract negotiations with ufc was 600k yes it would be worth it.

He won't make past the top 30 heavyweights.
@v not even close. Wilder has way superior boxing skills. When he wants he could box good.
No one cares. It’s entertainment
@v Francis will get killed. Wilder has years of experience and 42KO's to go with that devastating right hand. Ngannou has almost no experience at all. It'll be a slaughter.
Thing is with Francis and wilder, he’d have to go easy on him like it’s an expedition. If wilder wanted to he could just punch straight through Francis guard and knock him out
Expedition? I think you mean exhibition.
@@solarex8160 thanks
Dude couldn’t stand with Cyril and had to wrestle 🤣🤣 but people actually think he has a chance.
So you think Gane has a chance if they were to box? Kickboxing is different from boxing, learn the difference. Francis is an amateur boxer btw.
We already have an ngannou in heavy weight boxing named deontay wilder. We all know how that went against fury.
Africa needs events and a UFC Performance Institute
Everybody is talking about Francis Nganuu power,Every heavyweight boxer has power. And when you talk about guys like Wilder,AJ, Fury,Joy Joyce,Usyk. Francis has no chance in Boxing against them.
Wilder has pretty bad technique, yet hes at the top… and yeah every HW has power but Wilder and Ngannou have a different kind of power
I already know this is going to be a great video
I was right
Man......Wilder ko dudes in 8 ounce 10 ounce.....Francis goes sleep
He can have 1 boxing match and match his entire UFC career earnings. Shouldn't be like that.
Way harder to land shots with the 10 oz gloves, he’s got gonna be able to rip through peoples guard’s anymore, he’s gonna have to set stuff up, the bigger gloves don’t let you get as clean punches off necessarily
Francis vs Jones. Would be a matchup even USADA would love.
only jon wouldnt like it. dont make him RATire for another 3 years
Mehmnnmnn.....motividia gives me chills brrrr.....I literally get hyped once I see thier new presentations
This is very simple:
Ngannou pussied out of the UFC because he did not want to fight Jon Bones Jones. That simple.
Now in boxing? He has a punchers chance. And that is it. Anyone in the top 10 would whoop his ass in the heavyweight division. Unless Ngannou gets lucky? He does not stand a chance against any of these men.
Ngannou is a huge fighter. He reminds me a lot of AJ with how much muscle he has.
AJ is a boxer though and still can go 12 rounds with the muscle he has Ngannou could not
its west african muscle, it's "all show and no go". i mean that in a relative way because obviously francis is a freak athlete but he's a FREAK FREAK in terms of how he looks, considering the way he trains. same with Usman really, his back is unreal. bodybuilders would KILL to have his gigantic thicc fluffy back muscles. but he's not allegedly any stronger than other guys his weight.
i only do muay thai but can see it there when we clinch, the big thicc boys of west african background look huge but their weight and strength doesn't seem to correlate with it
@@manfrombritain6816 🤦
Think about this AJ attained his physique from weight training EXTENSIVELY. Ngannou just finally attained a sustainable food source. Ngannous training does incorporate some weight lifting, but the movements are all explosive or athletic movements, and high reps. He can definitely transition into boxing.
@@joel1110 you DONT know that.
MMA people are delusional af thinking those guys can compete with high level boxers. If there WERE one exception though, it'd be Francis. For one, the heavyweight division is weak af right now, and for two, he has the equalizer so he already has a good punchers chance. But I'd say Francis would still be a pretty big underdog against someone like Tyson Fury..
Heavyweight is only weak because they keep dancing around eachother . Francis will bring an audience but wouldn’t secure a spot against the best
boxing heavyweight division is far deeper than the ufc division
@Searching for Ufos biggest morons in sport. guess thats what happens when you cross breed martial arts delusion with wwf wrestling culture.
I love you Motivedia so much!!!
I don't get where people are getting this idea that Conner did well against Mayweather. He had a significant size advantage over a 40 year old with frail hands. If he was fighting someone of similar size like Canelo he would have died.
Bro wilder is going to murder Francis, tyson will use just a jab and dance around Francis, any fighter in the top 10 or middle of the top 30 will beat Francis easy. . I want him to fight wilder because i want Francis to get the bag on his way to the hospital
Francis vs Wilder. Make it happen
Easy for Wilder
@@matterking1 🧢
He could feast over in the UK. Only Fury, Joyce and Bakole can beats him. My bad Uysek will too. No I didn't forget anyone.
Mouthwatering can’t wait Francis is a Beast of a man with a great head on his shoulders I wish him well great stuff cheers
i think the best pairing for a fight would be Joe Joyce similar physik and slow heavy hittiing motion ,when he can handle him im sure he has a promising boxing carrer, after i watched them sparr i think it would be a realy interesting fight like Foreman vs Foreman
I don't see it being good for Ngannou.
He couldn't outbox Miocic.
He just out powered him and managed to finally get some grappling done.
Wilder would even outbox him.
But if I'm Wilder I call for that fight, its easy money + big money.
EASY ADVERTISING TOO.
Hardest hitter in MMA vs Harder hitter in Boxing.
How can that not be promoted easily?
he will make generational wealth plus test himself in boxing. Every fight with Ngannou will be huge especially in boxing because of his monsterous power
How good, deserves 10mil subs you the man brother.
He'll have to learn how to defend himself if he goes up against any top heavy weight. Plus would he have enough stamina to last many rounds? Good luck to the man.
Wilder hits way harder than Francis, idgaf what anyone says.
Way way way harder
Way harder? Lmao crazy
@@Debrowsk1
Yes, Wilder starches people with ease with gloves 3x bigger.
@@ThatEvilGod we haven’t seen Francis punch with boxing gloves yet so
@@Debrowsk1
Doesn't matter, his K.O ratio with UFC gloves still isn't 100%.
You dropped this on the morning of my birthday? That's why I say Motivedia is the 🐐.. never misses!!
This is some of the best boxing production. Should hire Motivedia for All access👀
All entertaining fights but all I would want is Francis vs Wilder
Anybody who knows striking knows Francis has raw talent and has only improved Every fight. Not many boxing guys could go in there against the talent he faced, and finish them the way he did. Plus he is very humble and confident so he will do very well because of his indomitable spirit and positive mindset
Boxers couldn't have done what Francis did for the same reason that Francis is highly unlikely to be competitive in boxing. They're entirely different sports with very different skill sets, concerns, and tactics. A good attitude and athleticism aren't going to get you very far, you need actual skills developed for the sport in hand. That's not a knock on Francis, it's just the reality of the situation and it's why successful crossover is so rare.
@@mobiusflammel9372 Francis knocked out pro k1 kickboxers in seconds he has a pretty good chance to do decent in boxing. You have a guy who is a master athlete but only a good boxer verse a guy who is a master boxer but only a good athlete.. it's a 50 50 fight
@@mobiusflammel9372 actually maybe 60 40 for the master boxer to win. But my point is good boxing with high athletism can complete with master boxers. Conor is an example. A high level athlete with good boxing First go round with a master boxers and master athlete in Mayweather he went 10 rounds.. now Francis is even more athletic but maybe not as technically precise as Conor but it's hard to say because Francis is a gorilla who throws constant bombs when he sees opening in a heavier division so technique isn't so important but still he displays a good level of it. Francis with his athletism and fight IQ he will be able to hang with the boys in the ring if he ever makes the walk you will see
@@user-mw4qi1kx3o you mma fans are so fucking deluded. mayweather carried conor, mcgregor was a ko artist in ufc and had no power in boxing, just like woodley never got brutally ko'd until he fought in the ring against a youtuber. nganou picked mma at 27 years old because nobody in the history of boxing will ever become a top boxer picking up the sport that late, it was easier for him to become a ufc champ than a world champ in boxing. boxing takes years and years of practice the skill level requirements are far higher than they are in the ufc where you got part time real estate agents fighting and shit.
This was a very well done video great job.
I would prefer Nganu to go to ONE and bellator and become the first undisputed MMA fighter.
Still I would watch anything that has Francis.
What people are forgetting is anyone can punch in 4 ounce gloves 10-12 ounce is completely different thing I'm not saying he won't still hit hard but you need a more than that against the best heavyweights they will be able to block his punches better and they won't be as hard, he has no technique just swangs and bangs against real boxers he will boxed around. McGregor didn't do well against Mayweather he got carried for 6 round until he gassed that was Mayweather's tactics McGregor's footwork and defence was none existent it's two completely different sports
Trust me, I've done both, there's not much of a difference because of the padding position. Most weight on boxing gloves is the thumb, and the left side of the gloves. The knuckles have about the same amount of thickness as a UFC glove.
Everyone just assumes Francis stands no chance when he literally been training boxing before he started training MMA. Dude can hit harder than 99% of Heavyweight boxers. You match him up with AJ or Wilder. There’s a solid chance he drops them and even upsets them.
But these heavyweight boxers knock eachother out with ONE punch in 10oz gloves. Wilder, AJ, Fury and maybe even Usyk would put this man in a hospital.
No sir you’re wrong. I’m tired of telling you mma fans how hard it is to transition into this sport. These guys consistently train in punching and have outstanding armature records. It’s entirely different than mma. Francis can be a great exhibition boxer but professionally he’s getting dragged into the deep waters.
@@louieoverhand9264 This isn’t any MMA fighter. This is the hardest hitter in MMA History. Sure Tyson Fury and Usyk might be skillful enough to nullify that power but other Heavyweights are prone to getting hit. Everyone wants to know how his power translates in boxing. If it’s anything close, he doesn’t need 10-20 years of skill to be successful.
@@REDANDSILVER741 absolutely skill will be his weaknesses. These veterans will pick that man apart. His power is not boxing power. Stop the hype. You mama fans said the same damn thing when mcgregor crossed over and said his timing and power would give a boxer problems
Never cared to see Francis in boxing, the only fight I would watch is against Wilder. Just because of the style match up.
Bellew saying he wouldn't get a sniff in the heavyweight division makes me believe he would knock them all spark out...
It would be cool to see him get a couple tune ups before a big fight but Ik it won’t happen
That's the only way he has a chance of being successful. If he jumps straight in with any top HW, its over.
If he goes to boxing he should definitely fight Wilder first. That would be insane
He gets smoked by the right hand. No matter how much power he doesn’t have the defensive capabilities to avoid it until he can land his shot and Wilder can put anyone to sleep with straight shots especially. Wilder knows his range much better, is clearly the better boxer, and is used to the ring, gloves, rules, instincts, etc. As a mma practitioner that switched to boxing for a period of time it is very different when in the ring the defensive side is the most difficult to adapt to, range is different since there’s only punches to worry about, everything from the stance, movement, blocking/parrying all has to be adapted to and he can’t close the gap in a short period of time.
Deontay would smoke Francis lol. Cyril Gane exposed him bad.
🤨The only thing I'm interested in seeing in 2023-24 is:
Fury vs Usyk
Wilder vs AJ
Ruiz vs Fury
Wilder vs RUIZ
Usyk vs WILDER.... THESE FIGHTS SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE LONG TIME AGO.
ALL THIS OTHER CRAP IS JUST SIDESHOW fights w/Engonu🙄😔😔😔
He might have a small chance against AJ but wilder or fury finish him in under 8
Not even against AJ
Let’s be real… ngannou doesn’t stand a chance against any top 10 heavyweight boxer rn .. I can see even Ruiz destroying him
Any top 30 lol
You never know lol power is the main advantage but he isn't skilled still he has chances
@@goat7728 power is nothing if you can't land it
@@thomaskendell8146 Wilder became the heavyweight champion of the world still not knowing how to box...
@@mitcHELLOworld wilder has more power
Francis Ngannou scored an off-balance upper cut punch as well, which measured 122,000 units. No boxer has his strenght and power.
I believe pro boxers will see his punches from miles away.
but he deserves this chance
To be honest his first fight should be an 3 minute 6 rounder against adam kownacki
Nope.coz if he loses he won't b fighting any boxer again.better he gets a 1 off high profile match & get rich & set for life.
who?
@@thewarlordscalling6537 true but I hope him winning one fight means he gets a shot at a belt
@@Tristan_00715 Google is your answer
@@Tristan_00715 Sorry man.ngannouh.
Let's not forget Francis first wanted to pursue boxing but then did MMA cause his coach said it would be faster dont sleep on em I think he got something in the bag
It’s what’s wrong with boxing…..they’re trying to have these cross promotion fights, when there’s fights to be made at heavyweight already. Smh
I don't understand how you guys try to compare Francis to Wilder, how come you guys forget who Francis is??? That man is a beast!! No one punches like him. His Genetics is mad!!
Wilder would send Francis to the shadow realm
Despite this vid focusing on Ngannou, every time Tyson Fury popped up, he stole it.
Staring down Usyk - "I'll do you as well, gappy teeth"
If only he was younger, he could have a few tune up fights before going into the big leagues. But the big leagues is where the money is
Please bring heavyweight boxing back! The people have spoken
Get Francis on EPO so he can make it past the 3rd round and idk…I could see luck work. Look at Wilder’s early career
Plus ngannou stands a better chance securing better fights under ufc as a promotion like mcgregor… if he uses an external promotion he’ll face problems
Theres more money in boxing
1:26 Both Jones & Francis had money issues✊🏽
Do not underestimate Ngannou remember that back in Africa he was training only boxing after arriving in France he switched to mma because of his ex trainer Fernand Lopez who advice him to join this sport. The learning curve is easier in boxing than in mma.
Interesting for business man who have many on this, but not interesting for sports.
I think the best matchup would be against Wilder. Don’t get me wrong, I think its a mistake for Ngannou to get in the ring with him. He’d get knocked out cold, but Wilder is a great matchup on paper. They are the most powerful punchers in their respective sports and ppl will think bc of Wilder’s unorthodox, wild style that Ngannou will have a hail mary punchers chance.
"Conor gave a good account of himself" 😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO, I laughed so hard at that. What a ridiculous comment to make. 😂😂
@A A Mcgregor hit mayweather more times than any other boxer, thus he gave a good account of himself....compared to other boxers.
Mayweather carried him that entire fight buddy. He was smiling the entire time
@@rsod85 Mayweather does that to boxers too.
@@SunnyS3506 😂bro that’s such cap McGregor didn’t even get close to that number
Fury schools Ngannou anyday in a boxing ring, power alone is not enough. In fact, I'd pick anyone in the top 5 over him as it stands. He needs more than power to fight the best.
The only boxer who might hit harder than Francis is deontay wilder but even then ngannou might have more punch power
Francis’s power in boxing is just average imo hes a heavy hitter for ufc but in boxing i dont see it, everyone is a big puncher in the hw division. A b level fighter would spark him
I think stamina and the movement problem otherwise francis can be great.
Dude he only has a hail Mary chance at beating any top ten heavyweight. The only fight I might wanna see is against Wilder just because his brawler style of fighting but he won't get beat by Ngannou either. He should just go back and fight Jones
This is madness. Francis would get beat tf up by every single heavyweight mentioned in this video. He better try to see what Charles Martin is up to. Great video though.
Francis messed up everything by leaving UFC. None of the top boxing guys are fighting him, take it from me!
If the bag looks right they will. Money talks
1:26 Both Jon & Francis had money problems with UFC✊🏽
@Searching for Ufos unknown for you. Don’t mistake popularity over skill
When you have the raw power Francis has you ALWAYS have a chance…no matter how small
Wilder has both more power plus he can box, so France has little chance
@@tube56t53 Ngannou is a literal superhero compared to Wilder. Much more than just power with him. Ngannou has a fearsome chin, and ability to cut off angles. He might shock the world of boxing.
@@GeronimoEskinozpas 🧢
@Searching for Ufos There are many big guys true but not built like Ngannou, though. We're talking about a fighter that's NEVER failed a USADA test, tipping the scales at North of 290lbs standing 6'4 tall. Someone who matured and developed through 7 years of hard, grueling labor designed for a man begining from the age of 10. Somebody who always went to bed hungry for most of the entirety of his childhood. Somebody that understands pain.
@Searching for Ufos Lmao Miller was NOT more muscular than Francis though. In fact many could easily argue that MORE of Francis bodyweight is pure muscle than Miller. 🤡 Also Hafthor was stiff, and SLOW. He had no snap in his punches they were more like pushes than punches. He'd have made a great NFL player if he kept that size and power, but he wasn't natural at all. Francis would also MURDER Thor in any combat sport.
1:16 imagine if he comes out to his boxing dating with Edge theme song “you think you know me”
That would suck a$$...
Problem is it takes years before you get to see the fighters that you wanted to see go head to head , and then by that time it’s not worth watching
Sorry to say but Francis will get knocked out by a true heavyweight boxer. All he has is a punchers chance. He is not a boxer. Go fight Jon Jones. That is what most combat fans want to see.
Francis is going to do so horrible
Congrats to Francis to making it happen . 30 million babyy
7 months later: Ngannou knocked Fury down and Ngannou vs. Wilder promo started...
Francis ngannou vs wilder is like a single bullet reload shotgun vs a multiple round shotgun.
Derek Chisora beats him.
