Could Alex Perierra beat francis Ngannou?

Dude is about francis’s height and big af too. He has also fought at LHW before. If he doesnt cut and just bulks up a little, could a 245lb periera show ngannou some real striking skills?
No
 
Yes, he could, but he likely losses like 90% of time, at least.
 
Doesn't have the elusive style to beat a bigger more powerful guy. Adesanya would fair better against ngannou than Pereira because Adesanya would be able to avoid ngannou at least for a while

It would be fun to watch for however long it lasts. Francis probably knocks him out because this fight is staying on the feet as long as Francis wants too. But yeah grapplers at MW, LHW, and HW are real threats.

No. I'm a fan of both fighters.

Pound-for-pound, Pereira is much better — but he doesn't have the physical density (muscle density, tendon density, bone density) to do anything to and Ngannou.

My best weight as a boxer was 147; my comfortable weight was 160. I walked around at 175.

Back in the day, I sparred Mike "The Bounty" Hunter, a small heavyweight, but a lot bigger than me.

The dude's hard jabs felt like a MW's right-crosses.

I had never been down in my life, but his right crosses (light, because we were sparring) felt like "KO attempts" ... even though I know he was sparring light.

Ngannouat full steam would flatline Pereira with the first clean hit.
