    Glad Zhang has put on the weight and worked on his timing/head movement a lot in the past 11 years.

    True but Ruiz knocked the courage out of Joshua. He's not the same

    Zhang got bigger and more powerful.

    AJ lost his confidence.

    No headgear.

    Things have changed in the past 11 years, there's a reason why Team AJ swerved Zhang to fight Franklin instead, now they're trying to go after shot Whyte lol.

    Hearn would never put Joshua in there with Zhang, it would be suicide.

    Zhang v AJ would be a great fight and do good numbers after tonight. No chance it happens though.

    Zhang is much heavier now and has more skill, they were both green in the olympics and looked really messy.

    AJ was so much better back then. So fluid and athletic. He lost his confidence after the Ruiz fight.

    Bull****. Joshua would go faster than Joyce. 3 or 4 rounds he'd be on his back.

    I guess you could say his chin was fine China.

    He is a lump of a man now with scary handspeed for his size.

    There is a better chance of Mainland China becoming West Taiwan than Joshua going anywhere near him.

    Joshua was flinching when getting hit by Usyk. Zhang would stop him easy. A few good left hands early and Joshua would go to pieces mentally.

    No way Eddie Hearn would be stupid enough to make the fight.
