    Then we could be talking about one of the greatest HW's of all time.

    He let TF off the hook and let the ref get involved and gambled the result... ZZ didn't

    Now you do the math.

    We are already talking about Usyk as one of the greatest of all time because he is, regardless of your absolute garbage "thoughts" on the matter.
    When did Zhang fight Fury?

    Oh, you're comparing two different fighters, one of which was an insanely motivated Tyson Fury facing Usyk and the other the lukewarm corpse of Deontay Wilder, who had lost three out of last four, facing Zhang.

    That you even think they should have been fought the same way or that those two (Fury from the Usyk fight, Wilder from the Zhang fight) are in any way similar or comparable just means YDKSAB.

    Zhang wasn’t messing around. He jumped right on Wilder. That’s the kind of hunger you want to see in a heavyweight contender.

    He did pull his punches in the 9th, it was like he didn't want to legit hurt Fury, his done the same a few times in his career.

    Well if my aunt had a pecker, she'd be my uncle. You do understand that if Usyk had Zhang's power, he'd have several casualties on his resume by now, right?

    If attitude is the key point here.

    IF Zhilei Zhang had Usyks attitude, he would be the current undisputed heavyweight champion of the world....

    And I luv both fighters btw.

    Is this the same Zhang that let Hrgovic get away with turning his back to him multiple times?

    Are you seriously suggesting that Usyk, one of the greatest fighters of all time has an inferior attitude to that fat sack of crap who can't go past 4 rounds before gassing himself?

    It's the other way around you tit. If Zhang had Usyk's attitude, then he'd probably be world champion by now.

    And conflating fights against two entirely different opponents...I'm amazed at the mental gymnastics you have used to form any sort of argument from that.

    Usyk would have finished Fury had Mark Nelson not come to his rescue and gave him a 20 count.

    The fact that he doesn't need power to bail himself out of sticky situations, and can win repeatedly on points, in hostile territory, whereas Zhang, who's an unskilled lazy fat SOB, who can't win an actual boxing match and literally needs his power to bail him out. Proves he's the ATG, and Zhang is a novelty act.
