Lol- mid tier middleweight s take out "prime" tank.LMAO
We have this problem with every sport, it's difficult to compare across eras.
If the two of these men fought in their primes Ngannou would murder him. That's not to take anything away from Tank or what he accomplished in the sport, but it's a different ballgame now with an entirely different level of training and athleticism.
Could Tank take his natural punching power and train like a freak and become a legit threat in modern MMA (if he were born at the appropriate time)? Sure. But as it stands, his prime from the 90s versus Ngannou's current prime? No contest, bet the bank that Ngannou will lay him out.
better striking than tank? not covincedBetter all around skills for the sport of MMA than Tank Abott.
Do you understand that ?

Tank got face planted by Kimbo, so no.i have prime tank winning by ko in round 1
lol these aren't the tuffman days of the UFC Ngannou is a professional athlete and has a punch equal to a 96 hp Ford Escort going as fast as it can.
That was in 2008. That wasn't prime Tank. Prime Tank was 1995 to 1998. His first few appearances he was fast and in decent shape. He got fatter and slower over time. He also took 5 years off from 1998 to 2003. He was already way past his prime when he came back to fight Mir in 2003.Tank got face planted by Kimbo, so no.

True, but I had to edit the rest of your post down so that if Tank reads it he won't get gassed because he moves his lips when he reads.We have this problem with every sport, it's difficult to compare across eras.
If he didn't choke on a ham sandwich between rounds.Scott Ferrozzo would laugh at Ngannou's power and knock him out late.
