    I've seen Zhang box a few times. He looked quite poor. It wouldn't be much of a exaggeration to call him awful.

    One paced, one dimensional fighter, no technical ability, loads up on everything he throws, never faced anyone worth mentioning...

    Him fighting AJ or Fury in any capacity is seriously stretching credulity. Zhang is arguably below British title level! I know he's Chinese, but putting him in against a unified HW champion? It would be embarrassing.

    Surely there is a better HW Chinese boxer out there, from a population of 1.4 billion people?

    I can see a thunderous overhand right putting the Chinaman to sleep

    So it's a pudding in the main event and a chinese dumpling on the undercard, my mouth's watering at the prospect.

    Chisora must keep a framed photo of Eddie on his bedside table. Astonishing that he still sources paydays for Del Boy, Hearn has probably copped more houses for Chisora than Rightmove.

    The New Danny Williams of the British HW scene.......had his chance about 10000000 times so he’s now getting boring.

    Zhang has a good jab and carries decent power but he's a clumsy fighter, poor footwork and with poor defence.

    Will be a KO win for Chisora. Zhang would be the best opponent that Chisora has beaten apart from Takam. Zhang is better than Epzilka and I would favour Zhang against Price.

    But Szpilka has a better resume than Zhang and I thought that was what mattered most with you?

    Never said thats all that matters. If judging a "top 10" because basing what they have done ring rather than "eye test", then it obviously plays a big part.

    Even then Spzilka two best career wins a close SD against Wach and beating a well past it adamek 6 years ago.

    Spzilka has a glass jaw and Zhang carries decent power, which is why i would back Zhang in a potential fight.

    So you only bring in resumes when it suits your argument then? Well anyway, good to see you call a fight without bringing in resumes for once.

    Resumes alawys play a part when judging a potential fight and what they have proven in the ring but potential stylistically matchups H2H has always played a part of it and Ive never said otherwise unless judging rankings (which some might speculate on the eye test but i would base solely on resumes and what they done it the ring).

    Chisora ragdolls Zhang, and stops him in 3 with a looping overhand right while he's pinned against the ropes.

    The likes of Kash Ali and David Price would beat him. I am sure of that.

    As you say he is awful. Truly awful. His record has been very well curated.
