Prime JDS with great confidence knocking anyone before he met Cain
vs Prime nganou
Prime JDS was considered the best HW boxer at that time
he can throw kicks
has great stamina
great takedown defense
1 punch KO power (as all do HWs posses)
vs

Nganou the myth the legendary man that can ko anyone

I know this is fantasy but damn all the hype into this fight
 
Prime JDS’s run to the title was incredible. In that window, I thought we might have a new HW GOAT. After the Cain beating, he was never the same fighter and afraid to let his hands go.

I think this fight is a pickem but recency bias will have more picking Francis. Prime JDS was more technical and maybe a bit faster / better on the ground while Francis is bigger and stronger.
 
JDS beat the shit out of Carwin (one of my favorite fights ever) but Francis is a completely different beast.
I'd favor Francis due to his size and stupid power. Prime Francis was also never rocked (before the Joshua KO)
If JDS retreats towards the cage like he did against Cain then it's a bad night for him.
 
I’ll take JDS, he has the cleaner punches and was a bit faster than big Frank. There also isn’t the takedown that JDS needs to worry about.
 
francis got more reach, jds more skill/feints, both with 1shot power and fast

tough call, but id stick with francis cause jds backpedalling brings me bad memories

Carwin cut too much height for that fight.
 
Ridiculous question for two reasons: 1. We don't know what make & model of car JDS fists hit like. And 2. We don't know whether or not JDS grew up shoveling sand or any other materials for that matter. Impossible to answer this question.
 
Prime JDS would remind everyone why he went on the GOAT run at HW.
 
JDS beat a relatively young Mark Hunt on the feet. He also didn't need a takedown againsr Gilbert Yvel. He would definitely have a chance against Francis on the feet.

I dont get what the Gilbert Yvel thing means. Are you saying that he's Gane or something?

Ngannou took down Gane because he had bad knees, not because he "had to". It's not like Ngannou was getting destroyed on the feet, it was his plan to wrestle Gane from the start.

Beating Mark Hunt is good, though I don't see how it's better than beating Overeem (who beat both JDS and Hunt convincingly).


Have a chance, yeah, for sure, but I'm not sure if I'd favor JDS. Too bad Ngannou lost a few years, I think he could have gone on a real run. For a while he was stereotyped to just be Derrick Lewis because people were lazy.

Frank isn’t the take down/ground threat that Cain was. Frank possesses none of what Cain used to beat JDS. Watch Frank flopping around with Gane.

I know but out of the two (JDS and Francis) who do you think will be pressuring?
 
50-45 JDS

Also Gane took down Ngannou after he fatigued, so could JDS
