    Zhilei.... But Zhang might have a little Browne/Miller/Kownacki kind of grit and toughness to him which is a x-factor to consider.

    There's a nicest person in every prison, so I guess there has to be a best Chinese heavyweight.

    I imagine that our European names sound as strange to them as theirs do to us. I had a Chinese girlfriend named Ping and it always sounded strange. But in their language such names have a variety of meaning which can be very poetic.

    My Chinese girlfriend's name was Ping
    PING 平 m & f Chinese
    From Chinese 平 (píng) meaning "level, even, peaceful". Other characters can also form this name.

    Another example:
    YAN (2) 艳, 岩 f & m Chinese
    From Chinese 艳 (yàn) meaning "beautiful, gorgeous" (which is usually only feminine) or 岩 (yán) meaning "cliff, rocks", as well as other Chinese characters pronounced in a similar fashion.

    Has a record of 6 Wins (3 knockouts, 3 decisions), 0 Losses, 0 Draws

    Just watched his fight against Mexican HW Daniel Arambula where he pushes and uses elbows when frustrated by the 212 pound opponent whom he said later was smothering him.

    Also did a lot of cuffing behind the head . Got two points deducted for pushing and leaning on the opponent causing the opponent to fall to the canvas. Won anyway on points but not in a spectacular KO fashion as he had previously with tubs of lard.

    Was breathing heavily after just two rounds of the five-round fight. Not two quick with his hands. Good power but at 282 pounds that's expected. Not explosive power like Tyson though.

    Little known fact. That anchors real name is Ronda Burgundy. Rumor has it she`ll read anything off the teleprompter.

    Most would say Hugh Jack Man is the best, he has a way of cutting guys up in the movies :)

    Neither Zhang nor Zhieli is a top ten talent. I think Zhieli is a bit better, but only because he's been tested a bit more as an amateur.
