Doubt it, they'll put on a show, surely? It's more akin to WWE than boxing.

The gulf in class will be huge, he’ll carry him like he did with Chisora, ngannou will swing a few windmills, land some shots on gloves but will quickly tire. Then it’s just down to how long Fury wants to play to the crowd.

No MMA fighter is conditioned to go 10 rounds. There is a reason proper boxers start in 4 round fight and slowly work upto 12 rounds. He’ll be knackered after 2.

They are conditioned differently, 12x3 Vs 5x5 (I think?) so overall time is sort of similar but obviously it's totally different. Fury probably won't have the power to knock him out ubless he's super gassed.

I'd say it would be better to see them do MMA but Fury wouldn't last 1 round.

No trust me boxing and mma are just so different. McGregor said he was so composed and then I got fatigued. Fury will go 12 easy Ngannou will struggle to do 4 mark my words, especially the size of the fella.

Never done any MMA, but I have seen a few guys training and it’s a completely different set of physical requirements.

Being conditioned to throw thousands of punches while skipping for 36 minutes, vs conditioning to wrestle and throw hundreds of punches in short bursts with minimal movement. The longer rounds of MMA also seem to slow the pace and intensity for relatively large amounts of time. Whereas in boxing you have three minutes to impose yourself and chip away at your opponent.

That's why I want to see Fury do MMA. Actually, never mind the endurance, take a few of those leg kicks please!

Yeah, Fury is a big lump, but I think he’d get man handled.

I’m past it, but I’d fancy my chances boxing a pro MMA guy for a few rounds. No chance with MMA rules. Don’t fancy getting cuddled for 5 minutes at all.

If you have no grond game then you wouldn't get cuddled... you'd either get choked out or something broken! Unless you tap of course.
