    I was shocked to find such poor value on a slow 40 year old Zhāng. I wonder if he would even have been favored over Wilder two years ago, let alone heavily.

    Zhang has fast hands and slow feet, this is actually a winnable fight for Wilder. Stay on the outside, leap in with right hands or counter with the right hand when Zhang comes in. Good fight.

    Zhang stops him . Wilder doesn’t seem to have a desire left in him to fight and Malik Scott is the absolute worst person he could have ever decided to work with.

    I'm about 60/40 in favor of Wilder walking away with the win. But this will ultimately show us what Deontay has left. Still a winnable for Zhang

    Wilder has zero resume to begin with.

    Wilders never beaten a good proven quality world level HW in his career. Whilst Zhang has beaten Joyce twice.

    Wilder always had packed a glass chin and a paper chest, can't box on the back foot and a poor ring IQ.

    Wilder has a punchers chance, but Zhang has very good power also, the better chin, better defence and better ring IQ.

    The Joyce who was kept away from a post-Wilder 1 Ortiz by his trainer's admission?

    "Wilder always had packed a glass chin and a paper chest, can't box on the back foot and a poor ring IQ."

    Which is why you favoured Babic to beat him, right?

    Wilder could be shot to bits. Looked awful last time out. Hasn't won a meaningful fight since 2019!
    Zhang lost a close one against an in-form Parker.
    One is slow, steady, accurate, big puncher with a limited gas tank/.
    The other is wild, and limited, but fit and athletic, relies on fast right hands to get the job done.... If the speed is dropping so is the chance of a KO and he's not a young guy anymore.

    I'd actually argue Hrgovic hits harder than Joyce - Joyce is more volume / accumulation

    I love how you always pick Wilder. We know why miniq, but Ima say it again. If Wilder loses to Zhang in terrible fashion ala Parker, Fury's resume takes another hit. You fanboys sure will look stupid talking up Wilder like you've been doing. Hardest puncher this, dangerous fighter that. LOL

    Should Wilder win, the more dominant he is the less credit he will get for the performance. Different day, same old stuff.
