    Zhang finds that left hand and knocks Wlad clean out.

    Wlad can't handle big men who are decent. He's lucky he got pure boxer overly defensive fury but Fury still had him reeling just from the stamina advantage late bout in a low workrate fight.

    Better than Tony Thompson

    Agreed, Vitali on the other hand with his chin would be able to last long enough until Zhang gasses to win by a TKO. I think Zhang stops Wlad in 5 rounds.

    Like Zhang, Tony Thompson is a southpaw too. A style Wlad has always struggled with. Against young Wlad I think it could be a repeat of the Corrie Sanders fight.

    Hard to land a counter left when you are being bear hugged for 12 rounds. Zhang doesn't have the movement or reach to do what Fury did.

    You cannot argue that they were easy nights for Wlad. Thompson caused Wlad some problems in both fights due to his southpaw stance. Look how Fury gave Wlad fits by switching between orthodox and southpaw. Corrie Sanders was also a southpaw and look how that turned out for Wlad. Zhang isn't Leapai, Mormeck or Pianeta.

    Wlad also moves faster than Stonehenge, unlike Joyce.

    Zhang is simply not at Wlad's level. He would have a puncher's chance but realistically, Wlad would school him.

    Zhang probably did just enough to earn a draw vs Hrgovic. If he's struggling against Hrgovic he's getting beat by Wlad.

    Fury made Wlad look bad but that was prime Fury, not Zhang.

    A good mover beats that Wlad. Zhang isn't that man. I remember him getting completely outboxed by a young Joshua in the Olympics.
