    Usyk's weaknesses (body) don't really come into plat that much into this fight. His fast feet & stamina would be a nightmare for Zhang. Also being both lefties makes it harder for Zhang's straight left, and Usyk is fast enough to duck under the right hook.

    Would love to see Zhang get a shot if Usyk doesn't do other fights.

    I guess you forgot how Usyk should be nominated for best actor after that "low blow". He'll never fight Zhang at this stage.

    Usyk is a warrior and ducks nobody.

    The OP must be getting him mixed up with Fury

    He might well be. But not with his legit boxing purses. He might do some more Mickey Mouse exhibitions or Netflix shows.

    Also, who cares? Who the actual f*** cares about how much a boxer earns? Fury won't spend it on you, you know. I get it, mate. Fury has absolutely nothing in terms of boxing legacy so you desperately try to push this earnings agenda as something Fury might well end up in as no. 1. But it's Daily Mail level celeb BS. Highest net worth, top ten best dressed etc. Nobody with a functioning brain cares about these lame things. This is stuff for teenage girls to gossip over.

    Fury will be but a mere footnote in HW history. He can have all the money in the world but boxing history will duly forget him. Just accept it.

    Even mentioning them in the same breath is an insult to the great Lewis.

    Zhang is too slow for Usyk. Usyk will dance around the big fat bear and make him look one dimensional.

    If he gets ordered to fight him he will, and I'm ecstatic my two favorite heavyweights could end up fighting before the end of next year. Tough fight for Usyk, I see him winning on the cards but like I said about Fury-Zhang, he'd have to be perfect the whole time. Difference is, while I believe Zhang could KO Fury, I think causing a bad cut is more likely with Usyk. Usyk has a great chin, and I know they said the same about Joyce, but Usyk has excellent head movement so I doubt Zhang would be able to actually hit him enough times to knock him down. I'd give Zhang a better chance of beating Usyk than I would Wilder.

    Hope we get to see for ourselves someday. I realize I'm likely alone in this, but I kinda wanna see this more than Usyk-Fury right now.

    No acting about it. Was clearly a low blow after which he beat your boy into quitting. I know it still hurts but grow up and accept the fact that Usyk is #1 and runs from no one.

    Usyk will duck nothing. He knows well how to protect his face from punchers.

    Usyk by UD or TKO.

    I would love to see Zhang get a fight against any of the Fury/Usyk/AJ/Wilder crew while he still has momentum, but odds are he probably wont.

    Usyk never ducks no one. He even travels to their hometown with their judges and still gets the job done. Not like most of your UK fighters....

    Against Zhang he will clearly take the fight and it will be in china for enormous money.
    Usyk by schooling and wide decision.

    Fury will never fight Zhang or anybody with a pulse left. Fury is on the circus show and retired in professional boxing
