Francis Ngannou in Boxing: What's Next?

John Jones and... And Ingano is another one now where we're all like... That might still happen. That might still happen. But will it happen when we all want it to happen? Well, if it happens in four years from now... But it doesn't have to happen in four years. Here's my thing. Again, Mr. Ingano, please hear me out. This is... I mean, just for legacy and just for also money. I think the big money is if he has an account... What if he knocks out Dillian White? Right? What if they set him up with some boxer who's an elite boxer, not Tyson Fury? And he goes and wins a big fight? You got to remember, Ingano is 265 ripped natural. Yeah, cut and wait to probably be 265. With canned hams for fists. Just giant... He's a fucking specimen and the power is extraordinary. And if he's just punching and not worrying about takedowns, if one of those... Look at Wilder. Wilder, who's the greatest knockout artist ever. Crazy. Greatest. He's one punch knockout artist. I would say, I mean, you have your George Formans and Mike Tyson are the most beautiful combinations we've ever seen in the heavyweight division. But Wilder, just... Pure power. Blap! Do you see his last fight? He wasn't even... Moving away! Moving away! He hits this guy and the guy's stiff. He has... Orteez? When he hit Orteez in the forehead, pull that up. Pull up, Wilder knocks out Orteez. Because he hit him and Orteez is a durable guy, a tough guy. And he had Wilder in some trouble in that fight. And Wilder just blap. Hit him. Blap! Right in the forehead. Yeah, you can tell, man. Head snaps back and Orteez's eyes are all back. He's like, what the fuck just hit me? Those are the things you can't train. And again, it's that long frame like you were talking about. Yeah, look at another lean... Oh my goodness. Look at this. Watch this. Here it goes again. Bam! I mean, look at Orteez. Orteez is like, what the fuck? He's just trying to put his mouthpiece back in. His mouthpiece is in. He's still trying to find it. His legs aren't moving. He's like, wait a minute. He's like, what the fuck? Look at his face. He's like upset about it. He's confused. Wilder, preposterous power. But it just goes to show you like there's levels. Look at the chin of Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury, the 12th round in that first fight drops him. Dead. Right hand, left hook. And even does this like it's over. Like I got him. I got him. Nope. He rises from the dead. Rises. I remember watching that one live and I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh, that's it. He's done. Alone in my bedroom screaming. Alone in my bedroom screaming. Oh my god, he's winning the 12th round. My wife was in the other room. Like, what the fuck are you yelling at? I'm like, he's winning the fucking 12th round. This is insane. He almost gets killed. He gets back up and he wins. Plan B option of Usyk fight fails to happen is in Ghanu. Oh wow. Wow. Well, the Usyk fight's gonna happen. It's the most important fight in boxing. I think that fight is gigantic because you got Usyk who's, you know, beats Joshua twice and the best movement in boxing and skillful. He's a heavyweight Lomachenko. Yeah. This is the cruiserweight champion. It's an undersized heavyweight and you got Tyson who's as big a heavyweight as you're ever gonna say. Massive. Six, nine, long as fuck. Crazy. Agile with back fat. Like. That picture right there. I couldn't tell him his pants were falling down or. Go back to that picture, Jamie. The picture just showed the Usyk, the backup fight that he's a backup fighter. The one that you just had up. If you look the rolls of fat off his back. Yeah, look at that. That back fat is insane. Big male performance right there. The bodybuilder. So you beat the bodybuilder. You haven't fought the gypsy king. You're crazy, dude. He's the fucking best. His dad's out of his mind, dude. I love him. I love that guy. War, Tyson Fury versus Alexander Usyk headed to Wembley in April. Huge boost to British boxing fans. What a fucking fight that's gonna be. My God, that's gonna be amazing. I just don't know if Usyk has the size to deal with that guy. It's gonna be interesting to see. What strategy he employs, whether or not he can avoid the big bombs and the reach and the length. So long. But. Not the long lean type that we're talking about. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A little different. A little different. I mean, he doesn't give a fuck what his body looks like. He's just a fighter. Is he still... Is he sober? No. Is he not sober? He's back on the sauce now? No. He just doesn't drink in camp. Yeah, okay. I mean, I don't know if he's sober. I don't think he's sober. He's always... Well, that's what I mean. That's why I'm asking. I know he goes back and forth on... He's right in the head and then he's not. And then you'll see him in a clip and he's had 14 points. My mental health. Well, he's an inspirational story. I mean, he really is. I mean, the guy was like... He beats Vladimir Klitschko. He becomes a heavyweight champion and then loses his fucking mind. He's drinking constantly, almost committed suicide, was driving his Ferrari, thinking about just fucking driving off a cliff and then gets it together and becomes a heavyweight champion again. And then wasn't fully all the way back when he fought Wilder. Yeah. And then fights Wilder in the rematch and then now he's fucking tuned up and ready. Beats the brakes off of Wilder. And then the third fight, Wilder catches him with a bomb. That bomb that he caught him where you see the fat ripple all the way down to his body. Any other human. Any other human that Wilder... He's not getting back up. Any other human. Nobody punches like Wilder. Nobody. Because like we talked about, it's in him. He's not doing something in the gym with a trainer to get that kind of power. You were born with that gift. It's also being a gypsy and being around that fucking rough tumble, brawling world, his whole life. His dad's a fighter. His brother's a fighter. Everyone's a fighter around him. Just fucking savages. Just in the bones. Gypsy people, man. Whenever he talks about retiring, I'm like, not yet. Don't do it. I think that if he does beat Usyk, it's still possible because they're going to fight in April, right? Unless Nganu decides to take a big money boxing fight before that, which I don't blame him for doing. But God damn it, if he beats Usyk, that's really the only compelling, interesting thing for him in that division. What else would be compelling? The Joshua fight? Not really, not after the Usyk fights. Unless Joshua comes back, because they're talking about Joshua fighting Wilder, right? Isn't that the talk? No. They're talking about Ortiz fighting Wilder, right? No. Ruiz. Andy Ruiz. That's what they're talking about. So Andy Ruiz, they're talking about him fighting Wilder. That's wilder versus Nganu would be crazy. That would be crazy. How about that fight? I just think as long as he gets something, you're going to leave that contract on the table. I hope you get some big fights, man, because that was a big payday to leave behind. They offered him more money than any heavyweight before, but I think the sticking point, I'm talking about a school here because I don't know what I've read, the sticking point I think was that he wanted to be able to go off and do boxing. To his credit, he's like, hey, Conor McGregor did it. Why can't I do it? I get it. Yeah. I get it. I get it. But if I'm getting hundreds of million dollars a fight on the table, it's hard to- Conor made $100 million in the Floyd Mayweather fight. That's generational wealth. How do you fucking see him? But he locked out where the UFC wanted to partner with that and make that happen, right? That's where that whole situation really ... And that's what Nganu, I guess, wanted too. And it's just like, man, they probably did that one time and we're like, all right, you know what? That was a whole lot. What's also, if the boxer beats up the UFC fighter- Yeah, how many times do you want to sign up for that? You can't get the boxer to fight UFC. Yeah, no. The thing is, no one wants to do that.
