“With the performance Fury had against Ngannou, that says a lot about his mindset. I don’t think his mind is in boxing right now. “He’s in marketing, he’s in PR. He’s in all this stuff, but he’s not in boxing. You can’t fool training. You have to do it daily. “People call me a hypnotist – I can put people to sleep. I don’t mind giving him a good sleep. I think his father is correct, he is declining if his focus is outside of the ring. He could incline again – if he focuses on the ring and the gym.”
As much as I like Zhang, Fury would near kill him and at least end his career. Zhang should go after the belts but he would fare better against Usyk, Joshua, Wilder, or any of the money men. Joshua is obviously the low hanging fruit.
Not that Zhang can’t beat him but he will never be champ. There is a mutual rematch clause between Usyk vs Fury so by the time they’re done Zhang will be a declining age of 42
If Fury turns up he beats Zhang without too much trouble. Zhang would absolutely smoke the version that showed up against Ngannou though.
Zhang is very welcome to go out and show that he would deliver a better performance against ngannou . But somehow zhang is very qiuet to call out francis ...
Muhahahhaha, that is based on what exactly? Fury is easy snack for Zhang. Ngannou beat the overrated bum, so guess what an actual beast like Zhang will do. Fury has exactly zero chance of beating Zhang.
And then you wonder why people don't take you seriously? Ngannou was offered the December 23th fight against Zhang, and guess what Ngannou rejected. The only reason Zhang is not fighting on Dec 23th card is cause Ngannou ducked him. Next time check your facts before embarrassing yourself trying to safe face for your overrated bum hero.
I,ve heared only about zhang claiming there were talks about a fight but never heared an official callout by zhang and rejection by ngannou so not sure what you want to say with your wannabe offensive but in fact childish weak reply to me .
Zhang is the next big thing apparently with his two wins over Joyce,after Parker cracked that chin in a losing effort. I sat watching the Joyce v Parker fight and just thought the punches that Joyce was eating are surely going to effect him at some point in his career you simply can’t keep getting hit like that,next along comes Zhang. I thought Zhang beat Hrgovic but he was very ploddish,predictable and did tail right off during the fight,iirc from about the seventh or eighth round onwards iirc. Defo need to see more of Zhang but for me Fury and Usyk have the skill sets to beat him and I think Wilder and even Joshua have the power to certainly trouble him if not beat him. Zhang like Joyce can’t keep eating punches forever especially at the age he is now .
Anybody with a brain can see that Zhang is getting better even at 40 years old, he can knock any heavyweight in the world out cold with ease because he's now counter punching and not gassing out anymore and fighting with more confidence.
He still gases out even at the lower pace he tries to set. He got old man strength. toughness & size whilst keeping his hand speed plus his experience have made him a hard hitting counterpuncher. His feet are still flat which is an area where Fury is now fading in, although not flat footed his feet have become slower and his movement has become linear...but hey only 1 midget left to pound and he can retire. Fury sadly lacks natural punching power although it's improved slightly but not enough that with age he will remain a factor like Joyce/AJ/Wilder/Zhang. Natural punchers at HW all have that longevity bonus.
