    Different Zhang, one that I'd much rather see back in action than Zhilei.

    My name is actually a reference to Junlong Zhang! I actually got to speak to him for a little bit, and he said that his next fight will be against a WBA ranked opponent. He's living in Canada now, by the way/

    Forrest is obviously no world beater and Zhang is freaking old - even for a HW - so it's kind of questionable if they shouldn't match him a tad tougher at this point but Forrest is super solid and definitely the best opponent he has faced yet. Forrest beat Franklin and was robbed by Salitas mafia and also proved himself against Takam as a tough customer and won a few rounds. Losing to Takam is no shame though.

    I expect Zhang to get past Forrest pretty easily though. Zhang has really good boxing skills and this is a good matchup for him. I'd like to see him more against a pressure fighter and high volume puncher instead of a low volume counter puncher who hasn't the greatest power.

    Junlong Zhang is the most exciting to watch, unfortunately dark forces in the 13 eyes & within the CCP did everything possible to sabotage Junlong Zhang career...They couldn't beat him in the ring, so they took the cowardly path

    Zhilei Zhang is #2 Heavweight in China even if he KO1 Anthony Joshua

    The thing is that Junlong Zhang was not allowed to get his title shot in his prime, whatever version of Junlong Zhang we see in the future (+40 years old) for a shorter heavyweight is simply more shot than Mike Tyson after Kevin McBride...That washed up Tyson was 38 years old

    Junlong Zhang legacy is unintentionally immortalized by his tag-less rapid dogs

    Junlong Zhang is 20-0-0-0 (KO 20), not a single man in Planet Earth was able to stand p to him. Future research will easily harvest evidence of the immoral enemies of Zhong working hand in hand to stop Junlong from destroying their manufactured boxers...

    When the dark forces can't beat a KO artist by corrupt judges, they start playing low and dirty...Ike Ibebuchi was thrown in Jail, Junlong Zhang was banned in the fragile era of Email-Champions.

    History remembers those greats

    Back in the multiple holder 90s days he'd probably have got a shot at somebody if anything just to promote the game in China but I don't see it happening.

    Junlong Zhang & Ike Ibeabuchi social-credit-score was manually dropped by a peasant who noticed they were too influential, their very low social credit score is capped at exactly 10% (disqualifies them from buying gloves, let alone get in a boxing ring)

    A ring war between Junlong Zhang & Ike Ibeabuchi, will never be allowed because it will make peasants respect uncontrolled violence

    Instead a Pro-Social fight between obedient Zhilei Zhang & docile Anthony Joshua in Chocolate city, makes lots of sense...Both boxers will get vaccinated prior to the fight & exchange scripted-pleasantries after the fight, CCP media will celebrate the fight as the most watched fight in boxing history, peasants will be informally informed that those who comment on the fight success get an easy +10 points on their social credit score. So it will be trending more than any boxing fight...
