wilder has comically thin legs and he doesn't have good balance. he would also be dead after eating one-leg kicks.Wilder would have a better chance ... if he connects before being taken down
He threw a fair amount of leg kicks when he fought JDS and in the Stipe rematch.I can't even remember Ngannou throwing a leg kick
I said he has a chance , not he would be fav ...wilder has comically thin legs and he doesn't have good balance. he would also be dead after eating one-leg kicks.

very true. There's a huge difference between something being the most likely outcome and being within the realm of possibility.If past his prime ray mercer could beat a more proven and multiple time ufc HW champion who also held the title defence record in Timmeh I am sure fury could beat these unproven fighters
Ngannou can submit him in the first 10 seconds if he wants to.Francis isn't Curtis Blaydes or anything like that but he'd take Fury down and finish him.

You need to condition your leg to be able to eat leg kicks from a professional fighter. It's not something you can just "tough it out". Wilder has never been leg-kicked in his entire life, and he doesn't know what it's like to get kicked in the leg by a professional MMA fighter.Wilder just showed toughness and willingness to take blows that made Nate Diaz look like Conor McGregor. Wilder-Fury etc would get beat without cross training but would be very live to beat anyone (much more so Wilder, just due to power)
It is grappling that makes the fights so difficult not kicking. And once guys are that big toughness and raw power are major x factors that don't exist in low weight classes.
