    If the discussion of one of the most over exposed, overrated marquee HW's of the past few decades upsets you, don't enter the thread. I have solved your problem for you.

    Many folks on this forum and throughout the boxing world don't care for the overrating of certain fighters due to the billion dollar marketing machine backing them, and we WILL discuss these boxers.

    We won't act like all Joyce really had was chin until Zhang cracked it. The fact that Joyce is there to be hit and it took Zhang to detonate him should be proof positive. Zhang also drops/hurts most people, he just isn't a good finisher. I definitely think Zhang is up there with the elite punchers

    I really don't know what to say to you if you don't think Zhangs power is the real deal

    His power is real but he’s not this destructive guy like Wilder or let’s say a Julian Jackson. If you’re there to be hit he’ll sleep you but he’s losing against a Luis Ortiz.

    The very same people.... :lol: I've noticed people who use that line generally have a rather poor point made.

    It doesn't upset me it clearly upsets you though that's why you keep making the same threads over and over.

    Luiz Ortiz who actually has a less impressive resume than Zhang
