    Who would take this? The Chinese giant could topple AJ

    That is a good and interesting fight. Hearn will never allow it.

    Joshua beats him again. Probably by KO.

    I think Joshua could jab and jog his way to a decision.

    As a side note I wonder why no one has found Joshua being faster and more powerful than ever at nearly 35 years old suspicious. At this age even Wlad started declining a bit physically and had to make a few adjustments.

    At one of media events a couple days before Joshua-Ngannou, Zhang went up, gave AJ a fist bump, said "Kill him", and walked away.

    Think it’s only because he was facing an mma fighter, so it’s only right that he looks amazing vs that level of competition. He didn’t look that great against Franklin or Helenius.

    If Zhang acts lazy as in Parker and Hrgovic fights, AJ destroys him in 6.

    AJ stops him. Zhang was completely gassed after throwing only a handful of punches vs Parker and he’s only gonna get worse at his age.

    Joshua which ever way he wants to win. He could use movement and his jab to out box the slow footed Zhang or he knocks him out as he already showed in the Olympics he can hurt Zhang. Though to be fair he did stand on his foot when he dropped him but he clearly hurt him regardless of that. Zhang was prime at 28 and in much better shape when he lost to Joshua at the Olympics, I don't see this much older and heavier version doing any better.

    Zhang is criminally overrated. He’s a one trick pony and is 40 years old.

    AJ beats him up. Pretty badly too.

    Just just Ngannou but the Wallin fight as well. AJ’s on the rocket fuel again.

    Zhang KO 5

    Joshua is exactly the type of opponent Zhang feasts on. Bulky and not very evasive

    Aj stops him if he gets in the second half of the fight when Zhang gasses.
    If he is on his bike a bit the first half he can survive the real possibility of a Zhang ko and take over.

    Before this weekend I'd have given Zhang a really good chance of beating Joshua but he looked so stiff, immobile and inactive I think Joshua probably destroys him.
