Ngannou's Power vs Shane Carwin's Power

Ngannou has that 1 inch fuck you power too

No doubt he hits hard but that was probably more thanks to Cain's positioning
 
If carwin wound up like Francis his hits would be harder
But he was like the one inch punch master

francis way longer reach way more power then carwin he get twice torque carwin. Omfg
 
Shane Carwin has 4 Ufc wins. Most overrated fighter ever.
No doubt. Beat Frank Mir to establish himself as a top HW then done in 2 fights. 6 UFC fights and people still talk about him. Leon and islam have over 9 fights in a row and cant get the big fights. Disgrace
 
I don't know who hits harder, but based on the fights I've seen from both. I'd rather fight Carwin than Ngannou that's for sure.
That’s a real Hobson’s choice isn’t it
 
Carwin has the most raw power out of anyone I ever seen in the UFC
 
Why not? You really think Ngannou is stopping Lesnar from wrestle-fing him?
Yup. Stipe couldn't take him down in the rematch and Cain couldn't do it either. This isn't 2018 Ngannou that went apeshit on Stipe and wasted his energy in 1 round. The moment Ngannou lands a punch on Lesnar the fight is over, especially if he follows up with extra shots on the ground.

Brock takes Fransis down,


If he had trained stand up more he could have been up there. He sent Herring flying with a punch, and he turned Mir's face into hamburger meat with punches from laying down side mount. I would gather he hits really fucking hard. He just never worked on developing his striking. Was pretty scary how Mir's face looked after that GNP, it wasn't even power shots raining down from full mount. It was a position where it didn't look like one should be able to generate much power.
Nope, Francis sprawls his attempt just like he did with Stipe in the rematch. That or he lands the uppercut like he did against Cain.
 
Carwin is the harder puncher of the two. If he had got into MMA younger and stayed healthy he could have had a heck of a career. He had crazy, God-given power. 2010 / 11 JDS and Lesnar both would have beaten Francis too and in a head to head I think Carwin would have knocked Ngannou spark out.

No. If you don’t take into consideration that Stipe was thirty pounds lighter than Ngannou in the second fight, you have no idea what you are talking about. It doesn’t matter if it’s Francis Ngannou 2.0 or 3.0, Brock Lesnar who weights above 265 pounds likely will take him down if he can get past those devastating punches.
 
Prime Carwin was a BEAST. Out of Prime Carwin was pushing Lesnar around. Granted, Lesnar wasn't in his prime either, but it's still impressive.

Ngannou is bigger and longer, but Carwin had that one tap KO power.

Ngannou is far more of a KO artist in that he goes for the kill and commits to his punches more, even finds a home for the shots better.

Carwin hit harder though. Could drop people with a tap

neither of those guys were out

Carwin never put anyone to sleep, let alone knocked them dead like Francis <Grimes01>

Ngannou is strong enough to fend off TD attempts. In order to get him down he has to be gassed. Cain tried taking Ngannou down and got ragdolled and KTFO in the process. Mark Hunt was able to stop Lesnar's TD attempt in the second round of their fight. If Hunt can get back up to his feet and defend a shot from Lesnar, so can Ngannou.
