Ack! Sorry. This is PRIME Mike. Obviously that is what I meant, but it's good to be clear.

In a boxing match Mike bodies him.

In kickboxing and mma Ngannou would have the advantage.

Mike's not bodying anything.

Even in the boxing match, he's going against an experienced fighter with a significant size advantage.

In boxing I honestly believes he runs through him. Just about everyone Tyson fought was bigger than him. Ngannou is too slow and way less skilled.

how good is this guy's boxing? if he going in there with prime mike, he better be hella good.

Watched a few Ngannou highlights, in boxing I'd say he could pull the odd win out thanks to good knockout power, but Mike takes at least 95 out of 100. In MMA, the odds are obviously reversed, with Tyson winning a few out of 100 if Ngannou doesn't play it smart and starts trading punches. Kickboxing, Ngannou should take a significant majority due to knowing how to kick and being 7 inches taller than Mike, but it's closer than in MMA due to the lack of grappling.

In a pure boxing match, Tyson bodies him.

In any other form of fighting, Francis has the advantage because of MMA experience.

This.

Tyson flat out knocked down guys with significant height and reach advantages.

Tyson's speed (because this is Mike in his prime and not the pure damage absorbing and knockdown machines he evolved into) will help plus his crazy punching power....Tyson has an advantage.
