This is a topic here but, surprisingly (to me at least) a topic on several areas of the internet today.

Do you think ngannou beats wilder in a straight boxing match?

Wilder.

Ngannu is a much worse version of the Fury that found Wilder the first time.

If we're talking the 215lb Wilder that moved pretty well and didn't looked gassed after 2 rounds then I think Wilder would be too much for Francis. But if we're talking about the guy last night that had zero footwork and even less head movement BEFORE Fury started attacking then I think that a Francis that no longer has to worry about getting taken down or even real clinching with elbows and knees would have a damn good chance to land a bomb.
On pure, technical, boxing skills I wouldn't put Wilder that far ahead of Francis. This isn't a Mayweather/Conor kind of gap. Definitely better but he's still terribly raw and sloppy and now we have proof that a big, strong guy can bully him. Wilder should win handily but if he were to show up looking like he did from the first bell last night then I wouldn't be completely shocked if Francis turned his lights out with one clean bomb.

Obviously he's a heavy under dog, the only reason I give Franics no chance at all is 4 ounce gloves. Think of how many people we've seen had their lights turned out by Conor? What happened when he caught Floyd clean with an uppercut? Nothing, that's what.

On one of those uppercuts I saw Floyd's lights go out for a split second.

It was very brief - millliseconds - and not long enough for the referee to notice.

First ask yourself, how would Stipe do against Wilder in a boxing only match.

Now, remember how Stipe boxed up Ngannou in their fight.

I saw how this stemmed from. EC(can't remember the rest off the top) had some points I agreed with regarding mma vs boxer but he totally lost credit for any of his points when he legit said he thinks Ngannou would beat Wilder in boxing.

That is a very good point. Conor definitely was close to finishing that fight in the first couple rounds, but my point remains that tripling the weight of the gloves has a big impact on the force of punches. Sure Francis sends people to the moon in MMA, but in a full boxing glove it's likely a different story.

In fact no.

He was an undisputed world champion until the jippo king put a whipping on him.

Let's not forget the first fight when he put fury down twice or the fact he actually defeated Charlie Z

Francis wouldn't be able to touch him. Wilder was outclassed last night but he still has 42 wins against people who have for the most part trained their whole life boxing. Ngannou has sledgehammers for fists, but he neither has the speed, technique, footwork and ring craft to land on a decent boxer.
