    Unless Zhang can drop some weight and be more active in the fight AJ should easily outbox him like Ruiz 2 however if one of the punches from Zhang land clean Joshua would be taken out either way would make for an interesting fight

    Knowing Hearn they’d hype and talk about the fight but sign to fight when Zhang is 45 and slower than Joe Joyce

    Zhang's only chance is to land something big early. He lacks too much in terms of speed and gas tank to pose much of a problem, I think. But he is an accurate and very hard puncher when he gets them off, so nothing can be ruled out while he's still reasonably fresh.

    I think Joshua could survive early to outlast the Zhang stamina issues and dispatch him late. He's not the sitting duck Joyce is, he's also not as durable but he wouldn't need to be.

    Joshua by KO,,Joshua at this moment is pretty good while Zhang is declining .But this fight isn't happening, there's no point in it at this stage.

    AJ’s always been a very explosive heavyweight. I’m not saying he’s not juicing, the guy looks like Ronnie Coleman, but I don’t see how those two fights raise any eyebrows.

    Now Joey Twelve has twelved him, Hearns might age out the big PAPA for another year or two, then roll the dice and stick AJ in with him.

    Zhang at 291lbs wont be beating any of the top 5 dogs in there.

    His conditioning needs improving
