Francis Ngannou (prime) vs Tom Aspinall

I would favor the Ngannou who beat Stipe over any heavyweight ever. That was his peak physically, mentally and skill wise.

However Tom beats the over-confident one-dimensional Ngannou who got molested by Stipe and the injured version who scraped by Gane, probably by GnP stoppage.
 
I'd give Ngannou a puncher's chance but I think with all that Aspinall brings, he would be tentative like in the Black Beast fight. I think Tom takes advantage of that and goes on the offensive but one big counter punch ala Miocic could change everything. Tom wins 65% of the time.
 
I'd pick Tom to win, but wouldn't be surprised if Ngannou used his retard swing and caught him early
 
I consider prime Ngannou as the one who beat Stipe Miocic, 2021 iirc.

How do you think it'd go against current Tom Aspinall?

My prediction is one of them would be KO'd in the first round or second round lulz... I don't see it going the distance.

The most certain way to beat a power puncher like Ngannou is with wrestling.

Tom hasn't shown elite wrestling so there is a good shot that Tom gets KOed

That said Tom is still the best shot at beat JBJ
 
Ngannou after losing to Stipe 1 and Derrick is the most dangerous heavyweight I've seen. Im going with him.
 
Ngannou is pretty overrated.
People get too mystified By power.

What Aspinal does better and his speed and youth should make him the favorite. But people like to live on this bubble where fighters don’t age and sit out for years doing nothing.
