Ngannou's Power vs Shane Carwin's Power

[ExxA]

has Carwin ever even put anyone to sleep? I remember him more as a TKO guy (but I could be wrong)

Yeah IMO he was more of a TKO guy by dropping them half dead, instead of completely dead like Francis does most of the time. Also Shane got rocked on the feet two times by Gonzaga before finishing him.

Ngannou is the scariest puncher ever in mma in a clear class of his own. ya can say Lewis has some smashing power too, but it's haymakers and pretty wild bomb oriented punching. Ngannou has it with and without great efforts. It's too bad he's not a better technical striker or it would be absolutely horrifying, but the last Stipe fight was his best performance to date, so maybe we can hope for more improvements.

I don't think there's much of a difference. Saying one fighter has easily more than the other when it comes to these two is silly. They're 2 guys who can't be out done clearly by anyone

Ngannou is a poor man's Carwin fighting in a worse HW division

yeah, he hasn't faced anyone as scary as christian wellisch or neil wain yet....

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Ngannou has that 1 inch fuck you power too

Oh Cain lol

arguably the two hardest-hitting HW's in MMA history...

who would you say hits harder though?

I actually think Brock Lesnar should be mentioned with these two. I know his game revolved around his wrestling but he had one of the heaviest hands in the history of MMA. It's a shame his stand up wasn't that good.

Exactly, glad someone gets it.

Carwin by far.


One punch destroyer.

 

[arcadeperfect]

I don't see Lesnar surviving Ngannou like he did with Carwin.

 

[Scheme]

Carwin mostly had short shots that finished people
Ngannou mostly has huge swinging shots that finish people

I'd give the nod to Carwin

 

[djacobox372]

Ngannou and it isn't close, only old nostalgic fans who hate giving credit to the new gen will say otherwise

GTFO, fighters aren't smart-phones, they don't get upgraded hardware every year. Power isn't learned it's genetic, the evolving of the sport don't really factor in here.

They both hit crazy hard.

Why not? You really think Ngannou is stopping Lesnar from wrestle-fing him?

Cmon. Nonsense.

Power is both learned and genetic.

Tank Abbott. His short punch KO of Steve Nelmark has never been matched...though Carwin came close. That said, fighters like Carwin, Tank, Mark Hunt and Roy Nelson could hit with ferocious power, but lacked Frances' reach, length and closing speed, which is what makes him really scary.

 

[NickDiaz]

Carwin had good hands just needed cardio !!

Too big and relied on early finishes ...low fight IQ

Ngannou 1.0 would be a fun fight

Ngannou 2.0 murks Carwin

 

[theleerygoose]

If we are talking 12 inch punches Carwin. If we are talking wild windmills Francis.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Naganu the POS

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Carwin hit harder IMO, he hurt people and/or KOed them with grazing shots and arm punches. Ngannou is clearly the better fighter though.

 

[Fioretti]

Carwin is the hardest hitter we've seen yet. Ngannou is second, but not far behind.
