Nganou would murder Fedor

[rd1992]

Current Fedor ? Of course.

Prime 2003-2006 one ? Not even in his best dream

Cos Fujita didn't rock Fedor no? If that was Ngannou landing he would have been in a coma.

 

[rd1992]

Just to provide the Fedor fanboys with a little sanity . Ngannou beats any version of Fedor.

Bob Sapp KO'd Hoost...twice...in HOOST'S sport...

K1 was a bigger joke than Pride..."K1 level striker" is the most absurd thing on Sherdog.


Be honest, do you think Bob Sapp beats ANY top 50 boxer at any point in his life.

Dude, Frans Botha beat LeBanner and Aerts 5 years after getting KO'D by POST-PRISON Tyson...and with ZERO kicking skills.

LMAO @ "K1 level striking"

Seriously, imagine Sapp vs Bowe, Lennox, Evander, Wlad,...

Botha went 4-13 in kickboxing. Aerts and Le Banner both were injured and could not continue. Those were his best wins too but he lost the majority of his kickboxing fights.

Sapp was 380 pounds. Hoost should not be shamed for that.

Now Cro Cop fucked Sapp up in K1.

Why do people always say “prime” Fedor would knock so and so fighter out? fedor has very a poor knockout ratio compared to wins. Also when he was in his “prime” he had an even worse knockout ratio while only fighting two elite heavyweights and hardly any fighters with decent striking.

Agree.

Prime Fedor was a GnP and submission specialist. ...he would submit Ngannou.

He became a brawler and scored a few KOs after PRIDE.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

You are 100 percent right, but jeeeeeeez, did you not know that Sherdog has one of the most devout Fedor worshiping groups ha? You just fucked up, I haven't even seen the rest of the comments but I can bet that lots of Fedor fanboys have already replied with asinine 'prime' arguments and a few brett roger ko gifs.

Hey Fedor fanboys, Francis would absolutely MURDER, I mean MURDER any version of Fedor . It's just a fact.

Well, the man did not lose for 10 years and fought in a much deeper, much more skilled and more dangerous HW division than what is around today.

 

[CieloLuce]

Some ppl get so hyped to quickly, let's just wait and see where Ngannou career goes

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Cos Fujita didn't rock Fedor no? If that was Ngannou landing he would have been in a coma.

What about when Ngannou was taken down by Blaydes? If that was Fedor on top Ngannou would have been finished by GNP or sub.

See? Anyone can play that game.

All the champs have been hurt at some point

Fedor rocked by Fujita
Cain knocked down 3 times by Kongo
Stipe knocked down by Reem
GSP knocked down by Condit
GSP tapping to strikes from Serra
Anderson knocked down by Chael
Jones gets his ass kicked by Gus
Stipe knocked out by Struve
DC knocked down by knee from Gus
Wanderlei staggered by Oyama
Hughes nearly finished by Trigg & Newton

Francis has only been training for 5 years. Fedor was boxing his whole life. He was hit a lot less than Reem and had a 100x better chin than Reem. Fedor would more than likely close the distance, rock Francis and trip him to the mat and deliver a beating down there.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Fedor merked Arlovski only 2 years prior to this fight and was pretty active during the period. Claiming the guy suddenly went out of his prime is ridiculous.

Thats cool that you have your opinion, but people saying Fedor was out of his prime by the time he lost are right, it is not a baseless statement.

Fedors coach (michkov) after the Rogers fight in November 2009:

Fedor's striking coach, Alexander Michkov says "Fedor has slowed": "With regard to age, it certainly has an effect," Michkov said. "To some extent, a decrease in high speed performance, but this is offset by experience." "Now the speed, of course, is a little slower, but -- knock on wood -- continues to be enough for Fedor to win," Michkov said. "There's a reduction in speed, but his combination of attacks have grown. And, in my opinion, to date, he remains the fastest heavyweight."

Fedors coach (voronov) after the Arlovski fight (January 2009):

“If he wants to keep winning, he can’t be spending too much time on these commercials and these movies,” complained Voronoz. “Afterwards, after the win. For a fighter, the most important thing is work, work, work. Fedor wants to keep winning, and keep winning well. He needs to train professionally.”

“The fact that Fedor won, don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy. But he won this fight because of the work he did before training that he did before this fight, because of the experience he had before this fight.”

“Right now, he won with his old baggage, with his old tricks,” he said. “We did everything we can to get him ready for this fight. But for these title fights, for these dangerous fights, we can’t train the way we trained for this fight.”

As has been said Botha's wins are more questionable but even then whats your point? Botha was a championship level boxer, he wasn't a ATG of course but he was clearly a very credible striker.

I'm comparing Goodridge to Kongo not to someone like Hunt, whats Kongo's claim to being superior? his much more backwater MT career? his win over a shellshocked Crocop via kneeing him in the nuts a dozen times?

Goodridge was not an elite K-1 fighter but he had lots of decent wins and a couple of excellent upset wins before he became a punching bag late in his career. The same in MMA, he had a run of beating all the solid mid level comp he faced in the early 00's only losing the top 2 HW's ever.

Very few of Fedor's wins past his very early years were over guys who weren't any kind of threat

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Just to provide the Fedor fanboys with a little sanity . Ngannou beats any version of Fedor.

Fedor has 42 fights

Didn't even lose until his 11th year

Francis only has 11 fights

I bet he will have more losses than Fedor if he fights 15 or 20 more times.

And oh, Fedor lost to Mitrione at age 40. He started fighting at 23 so bringing that up just shows how ignorant you are.

 

[moreorless87]

I would say as well that I think Fujita vs Cain would be more than just a chance of an upset like that, Mark Kerr could not dominate Fujita on the ground and by 2003 he had very heavy hands and a far better chin than Cain.

Again I think Cain always looked VERY hittable at range, pretty much every good opponent he's ever faced landed on him quite easily at range.

Cain might still get the win but maybe not. He would surely meet his equal when it comes to relentless pace, yet superior chin and a heavier and stronger guy.

I would bet the house on Fujita beating Brock though

While we're at it, circa 2000 Fujita would probably take Ngannou down to the mat at will.

I'm sure we will have more than 4 gifs of Ngannou losing by the time he reaches his 40th fight.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Fedor already knocked out Burt Rogerson.

 

[ermac88]

Prime Fedor would GnP him.

 

[SMEGMA]

All the dominant champs get caught at some point.

Just like how GSP was floored by a Condit headkick. GSP still won.

Just like how Anderson got dropped by Chael of all people. Anderson still won.

Just like how Jones got his ass kicked by Gus but still won.

Fedor came back and finished Fujita a minute and half later.

Yep, and just how Fedor would inevitably get caught by Ngannou.

 

[Oooxente]

In a few threads I have seen people talking about this match up. Nganou would kill any version of fedor

Nobody NOBODY beats THIS man!!


Mang.

Yeah I would pick Cain to beat Fujita but I could see the latter winning via more than just a freak one punch upset.

Definitely I'd pick Fujita to beat Lesnar, like Kerr that's the perfect style matchup for him, Brock probably gets an early takedown, does little then panics the first time he tastes some offence and either gets TKOed or loses a decision..

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Yep, and just how Fedor would inevitably get caught by Ngannou.

Or Ngannou gets caught with a big punch first...

Its HW. It could go either way.

I will go with the guy who is more complete and won 30 straight fights rather than the latest UFC hype train that only beat two old shot chins and has only trained for 5 years.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Ngannou has only been fighting a few years. In 8 years from now we will probably have lots of pictures of him losing.

Fedor didn't even lose until his 11th year.
