He got kind of unlucky that he didn't secure the AJ bout He is now deemed too high risk by Eddie Hearn but only last year it looked like he might get his shot at AJ for a stripped belt such is the way of boxing. All of the belt mafia are holding fire though expecting Saudi money to come through for Fury Usyk so sadly this year is on hold for Heavyweights. Wilder will be the biggest fight this summer if he fights Ruiz...
To be fair on the matter of Forrest, Zhang was winning very handily before liver failure, and even with that fight being a draw, a draw vs Forrest is the best feat on either of their resumes at the moment. Forrest deserves wins over Jermaine Franklin and Michael Hunter. I do agree with you overall, though.
