    Tough one to pick. I'll go Parker on points just because I'm biased haha.

    Fair play to Parker.

    Love this fight.

    Based on Zhangs last few fights I favour him but I am excited to see it.

    Parker UD. Speed and gas tank will be the difference here.

    It's a fight Parker can win as Zhang is getting older and is known for having stamina issues, I like both guys so may the best man win and let's all hope it's a big Banger of a fight!

    Parker is near his prime and has been very busy as of late. Zhang is nearly 40, he’s ancient. Parker will beat him to the punch, make Zhang miss then he will tire and Joseph will have his way late.

    Even with the losses and the debatable decisions, that's still a mighty impressive resume. In addition to those names he fought thirteen other guys in those years, who may not have always been top tier, but activity is activity. The names or activity by themselves would be impressive enough this day and age, but he's one of the few guys that's done both, and that's pretty exceptional in comparison to a lot of his contemporaries.

    Backing Zhang on this one all the way, but I gotta give props to Parker. He might not always be a joy to watch, but it's hard to fault a man who stays busy and has fought some of the opposition he has.

    Funny how he wasn’t the “inactive shot ghost” in November when he was apparently the third best HW in the world.

    That’s quite a fall from grace to go from third in the world to an “inactive shot ghost” in only 24 days.

    Zhang UD OR KO Parker easily if using his dangerous left hand well.
