Big Bang Zhang - Heaviest hands I have ever seen

Yeah, Zhang has enormous power, and, unlike many big punchers (Shavers, Wilder, Lewis, Ruddock, Tua) is EQUALLY dangerous with both hands

 

He's both very heavy handed and very accurate and quick, with great timing. That's a really weird combination. It's like someone took Valuev and mashed him up with Corrie Sanders. Seems to punch with knockout power off any punch he throws. Obviously the straight left and the right hook are his danger punches, but he also messes people up with his uppercuts and bodyshots too. I can't think of any puncher in the division as dangerous as him at the moment. He's kind of a freak.

 

Parker has an iron chin and Zhang knocked him down with punches that didn't even look hard, unbelievable power. Someone like Wilder will KO people with spectacular looking punches while Zhang just KOes you with punches that look like they don't have much on them.

I can't imagine how ****ing powerful a fully wound up straight left from him must be

 

He’s got the weird quality that Foreman had to his punches. He’ll throw something that doesn’t look like much of anything, or only land a glancing blow, then the guy drops like a sack of rocks.

But god is his stamina awful. It’s his single biggest problem. Stops him from throwing more, and means that pretty much the only way he can win is via stoppage in the first half. I get that he’s 280lbs, but Fury never had stamina issues like that.

 

If he had better stamina and higher output he would be unstoppable.

 

IMO if Usyk beats Fury again which I think he will Zhang is next, Zhang would be a huge name on his already glowing resume, be giving up 60 pounds and Zhang can bang.

 

I bet Fury would have those same gas tank issues at 41. Sad that Zhang took so long to crossover into elite HW action.

 

Did his career get mismanaged at some point? Why did he only get all this hype as he turned 40?

 

If he threw 50-60 punches a round for 12 rounds he genuinely could be the best HW ever.

With such an output, only a handful would outbox him and he would wear 90% of people who could outbox him down inside the distance.

 

Meh, he's 41 years old and sure, he has good power but he's being completely overrated.

He's only really knocked out the guys he'd be expected to knockout. He had Parker down twice yet Parker still won. If George Foreman had Parker down a second time, Parker would still be in a coma.

He KO'd a washed Wilder. That's not any great achievement. And Joe Joyce literally stood in front of Zhang and provided target practice. Twice. Again, those are KO's you would expect Zhang to get.

Sure, he's powerful but he is nothing out of the ordinary.

 

If his stamina was better, he might have been undefeated.

 

Chinese power

 

Foreman and Holmes managed 12rd fights without issue much older than 41. foreman went 12 hard rounds with Briggs at age 48. Holmes went 12 rounds with Nielsen at age 49, then 10 rounds with Butterbean at age 52. No stamina issues in these fights.

If Fury keeps going, he won’t have any either. Whatever other issues he’s got going, he’s got his conditioning down.
