    So far Zhangs resume consists of:

    - loss to Joseph Parker who was on the slide
    - loss to Phillip Hrgovic who was a prospect
    - wins over Joe Joyce - a 37 year old prospect
    - win over Deontay wilder - 38 year old shot fighter who was practically semi retired
    - Draw with Jerry Forrest - a journeyman whom he couldn’t finish when he had him in trouble.

    Maybe if he fights and beats Dereck Chisora we can favor him over Muhammad Ali and Lennox Lewis

    You should see the utter rubbish going on in the Zhang vs George Foreman thread.

    Excellent post. I agree with the majority of it, but Parker seems to be enjoying a resurgence imo and looks better than ever.

    According to the current standards Zhang's resume is already ATG stuff...

    We're at that stage in the Foreman thread.

    Watching the Parker fight some people really thought "this guy could beat George Foreman".

    I definitely think that he'd give a good scrap to Foreman, as well as Louis, but I don't even know what's going through the heads of some of the guys on this forum sometimes.

    He'd give him a scrap for 2-3 rounds before the fat ******* runs out of gas.

    The fat ******* I am referring to is Zhang by the way.

    Can you specify what profanity you're using to refer to Zhang with? It makes it hard to know what kind of a man you are with all those asterisks. Lol

    The guys who stopped Louis were the size of today's light heavyweights. I don't know how we can infer from such fights how he takes shots from quality super heavyweights

    Louis beats the ever-loving stuffing out of him just like he beat all the other big galoots who were put in front of him.

    I swear, the way people jump on the flavor of the month just because he beat someone who the only thing ever remotely close to world class about him was his right hand ...

    I've lost track, have we had a Zhang vs. Ali thread yet?

    No yet.
    But there is a "Zhang beats Foreman" thread making the rounds over here...

    There was a famous one in one of the Austin Powers flicks, if that helps.
