Yeah, He literally went right into the top 5 out of the gate, fighting the champ and the guy likely to become the next champ.
He gave Fury a very competitive fight, but Joshua has way more power.
But both of those opponents are elite top level HW pros.

I think he might be an elite MMA striker, but pure boxing against Top 5 guys like he's jumped right into, he's just not on their level.
I fully believe the Fury fight was more about Fury not taking him seriously and coming in out of shape, than it was a statement of Francis' boxing potential, but he did look good on that one, can't deny it.

Francis Ngannou Claims Pre-Fight Trickery Led To Brutal KO Loss to Anthony Joshua
Francis Ngannou shares conspiracy theory about the events that led to his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua.www.thesportster.com
TLDR: He is claiming that he got tricked and Joshua's camp used tactics to get him off his game, make him tired etc. Idk why he is handling this one so badly. He lost to Stipe and Lewis before but handled those well but maybe it's the way he was beaten, knocked out cold, that is making him a lot more emotional.
Because he got absolutely destroyed inside two rounds and this has crippled the momentum he had built from the Fury fight.
Nobody with a morsel of grey matter thinks that Ngannou has a shot against any top properly trained boxer anymore.

you're right, Fury should have come in younger. Nevermind that Francis is 2 years old than Fury.

Imagine what a 1:40 Ngannou would've done. I dread to think of 1:35 Ngannou.

It was satisfying, congrats to Frank for getting his dream fight against Fury and getting paid, but he was starting to become insufferable.

i believe him because the Saudi Prince seemed upset with the outcome of the Fury/Ngannou fight and he purposely made this fight to teach Ngannou a lesson. but also, SO WHAT? bullshit happens ALL THE TIME. Johnny Walker getting kicked out of the arena in his fight trunks still, Conor picking Mendes on 2 wks notice or whatever, dudes fighiting with staph infections, etc., Ngannou always acts like when he loses that some fuckin voodoo bullshit happened to him that never happens to anyone else but he's wrong about that. bullshit happens all the time to everyone, deal with it.

man, he is so unlikable.
if francis wants to salvage his career, he should win a few fights in pfl, get a belt, and hopefully if enough time goes by he can angle for a ufc return. otherwise, he should just take his bag and go home.

You have a point, even in MMA he wasn't exactly a precision/ surgical striker with superb technique.
Elite athlete, definitely. Elite power, no question. Technique though, that's where it starts falling apart against real boxers.
