Who hits harder Fury or Ngannou?

[pv3Hpv3p]

Wilder hits harder than both of them

 

[Bargey]

Fury is not the hardest hitter in boxing. Wilder hits harder and actually floored Fury for 12 seconds

Fury doesn't have better technique than Usyk. No one in the division is close to him technically

Usyk is the only one you could argue and I was kind of forgetting him since he only recently moved to HW. I know he beat AJ recently but it slipped my mind and I think Fury would be too big for him(and would fight like it) if they happen to fight.

Guess that last fight has non boxing fans thinking Fury is a murderous puncher lol. He’s big so by default he doesn’t have soft punches, but he doesn’t hit as hard as Ngannou.

The thing is that Ngannou puts everything into his shots. Fury is 100x more technical so who knows what kind of power could he generate if he swings like...

Ngannou is delusional by thinking he could have success at boxing.

Fury will just make Usyk carry his weight. He has over 50lbs on him.

I don't think people realize how fucking big Tyson Fury is.

Before Fury Charlie Z was the only man that Wilder couldn’t KO

Ngannou is delusional by thinking he could have success at boxing.

Being delusional made him the UFC HW champ.

Wrong.

Ngannou wanted to do boxing but his coach being smarter than him sent him to MMA.

Floyd even said Conor's punching power was nothing special and was average. People asked him in interviews. He listed other guys he has fought that he felt hit much harder then Conor.

In mma (and especially at 145), Conor could throw single counter shots and carry a lot of power in them. He knew he wasn’t quick or accurate enough to land on Floyd. So he threw at his lactate threshold, trying to throw hard enough that Floyd would have to cover up, but at a high enough pace to win rounds. He wasn’t throwing full power shots because he would never land one clean on Floyd. And of course he hit his aerobic wall and crashed hard. But it was actually a good strategy, his only shot at winning, but he gets criticized for both his lack of cardio and his lack of power. When neither would have won him the fight given the huge skill disparity.

He wouldn’t punch like that in boxing. He took a calculated risk there and it paid off. Watch the second Stipe fight for his compact hard punches.

would he have succeeded in boxing? I don’t know but that barrage isn’t really relevant to the question.

Holyfield (who took shots Tyson, Foreman, Bowe, and Lewis) still says the hardest he’s ever been hit was by old man Foreman.

Until he faced Anderson Silva

Go try it and report back to us.

Fury has more power in a punch all day just simply from superior technique and throwing hands for years, remember Francis hasn't been training all that long in the grand scheme.

I think it's a very fair question though if you were to ask who is naturally stronger. Francis with that sand mine strength is likely stronger when it comes to sheer raw strength.

Lets go

Does not matter.

If you are more accurate, with better technique, no wasted movement, and don't telegraph your shots you don't need to hit harder. Silva, Machida and others have shown this, repeatedly, as have many boxers.

If you catch someone not moving with the punch, their own momentum and mass do a lot of the work for you. If you hit someone in the right spot, accurately, you don't need tons of power.

Ngannou probably needs more power, because his skill is inferior, so he needs enough power to overcome not hitting his target cleanly. Fury, with more skill, doesn't need the extra power, because he's much closer to his intended target on a consistent basis.

If I need to hit with X amount of force to KO someone, cold, then hitting it with X + .01% vs X + 150% gives you exactly the same result. Probably a better result than missing the target with X + 150%.

Ngannou obviously, does anyone assume otherwise? Clearly Fury is a far more talented boxer but Ngannou is the bigger puncher by a large gap.
