    All I know is the punches that were connecting with Joes head on Saturday night were accurate and powerful. AJ would not take many of those. He was stung mentally by Ruiz and those ghosts are still inside his head, which was clearly evident during his last fight. A few of those Zhang left handers could and probably would open up the doors to those demons again. His chin is not the best, even Usyk came close to a knock at the end of the first fight, if it had gone another round I think the accumulation of attacks would have floored him.

    Lol the one who went life and death with a 41 year old who was retiring, gassed after 5, inactive, coming off a loss to fury and had already been knocked out by three average opponents when he was much younger ?

    Zhang will AJ`s power far better than he took it in the amateurs, he`s bigger now and not as open.

    And very easy to hit, AJ is clumsy and not as robust as Zhang never mind their crap amateur fight, they were both babies then.

    I think AJ would let his hands go more with this big guy just because he is there all night in front to take a punch.

    I think Joshua beats Zhang, and still thinks that he would lose to Joyce. Joshua is a better boxer. Even with his confidence on edge Joshua wins

    People are now vastly underrating AJ. Granted he looked timid in his last fight but he is more well rounded than Zhang and honestly more proven at a higher level. While I think that Zhang can cause anybody problems in the first few rounds, on track record and the eye test AJ has to be ahead.

    Not sure who wins but most likely AJ if he implores his Ruiz rematch type tactics,

    I do know that the Zhang headlines here have ransacked the boards the last few days.

    Zhang is being overrated by some now.

    Zhang was a bad matchup stylistically for Joyce. I'd back Parker to beat Zhang in a potential fight let alone AJ.

    Yes, that one, that version is better than Zhang has ever been.

    You backed Joyce and Hrgovic to beat him too. Maybe you just don't understand Zhang's boxing as well as you think you do.

    After all, Zhang did beat Parker 2x as an amateur, and Parker has no good legitimate pro wins. (Robbery vs Ruiz)
