Wallin v Zhang

Wallin is an absolute unknown quantity.

Could be top 10. Might not even be top 20. Who knows. Not sure we'll ever find out.

 

Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with Fury beating him. Fanboys trying to pump up Fury's weak resume maybe? LOL

 

Well that's true, but neither is Zhang.

 

Nobody had ever stopped Rudenko until his last fight. Forty fights, stopped once. Povetkin, Kabayel, H Fury, And Browne all failed to stop him. Only Sirenko has. Rudenko has faced better opposition than Wallin.

 

Zhang KO. I don't really rate Wallin.

 

Even the Sirenko stoppage was BS.

 

I take Wallin by uneventful decision

 

@CST80 Hey, sorry to ask, but could you please add a poll if possible?

 

Zhang could knock out Wallin, Wallin is too soft and overrated...

 

Zhang would destroy Babic in one round...

 

Huge Babic fan but he cannot fight even slightly tall/heavy guys at all. His last two fights showed that, they were 6'2 and 6'3+unknown regional prospects and they gave him all he could handle. Also he isn't 6'1 or even close. He's fat and muscular but still barely 210ish. He's 5'11 at max.

 

Zhang beat Hrgovic for me and hits a bit harder. Wallin hasn't built on his momentum v Fury which makes me wonder if he knows he's not all that.

 

Wallin UD, pretty easily.

 

Rudenko was dropped by a Kabayel body shot. He gave Zhang a decent fight (as he did a green 20 year old Hughie) and that was back in 2019, when Zhang was 36. Like Kevin Johnson, Rudenko has fought more decent guys than Wallin (because Rudenko isn't perceived as any kind of threat) but he hasn't fought anyone nearly as good as T. Fury, let alone put up a good fight against anyone of that level. Nor does Rudenko have a win over anyone as good as Breazeale, let alone in dominant fashion.
