Do you think if he moved to boxing 2 years ago, he was good enough to make it to top 5 heavyweight in boxing ? Do you think he hit anywhere hard as wilder? Where you rank his one punch power ?

He has power..’maybe On that alone he would knock a few out. But he’d be a shït boxer.

His maximum would have been around top-40 - top-60.

I think he has good hands but like with any heavyweight has conditioning problems - shame this fight is on at like 3.30 in the morning !

He has experience under the brightest of lights, that alone could get him 30ish or so. Though I couldn't begin to try a top 60. I'd think you'd have guys pushing 50 if you did.

His raw power would help him expose a lot of fake heavyweight boxers. Decent boxers like Takam, Szpilka, Duhaupas, Jennings will expose him badly IMO, not speaking about top 5

agreed, but I think he would do a number on Jennings !

Ngannou won in 26 seconds over Cain Velazquez earlier this evening on ESPN telecast of UFC. Cain went in low for an attempted takedown and when Ngannou floored him he injured his knee. I dont think Ngannou has much of a future in boxing. Not a top 50 guy let alone top 5.

I think about him that he wanted to be a boxer but because of his late start in the sport his advisors directed him toward the UFC instead. He was on the verge of becoming a new star had he beaten Miocic but then of course Cormier did instead.
