    Everything you say about Frank is right but i don`t rate Zhangs power highly at all and Bruno is just better and has achieved so much more in his career.Saying that perhaps Zhang will go on to do great things and i would have to reconsider but i doubt it in fact i would not be surprised at all if Joyce beats him in the rematch

    Zhang is far better than Bruno was and has a far better chin.

    Bruno gets his head taken off.

    McCall was awful v Bruno and Frank had to hold on for dear life in the final round of that bout and he lost all his other world title fights by KO, Zhang has a far better chin, Bruno was nearly knocked out by Jumbo Cummings.

    His win over McCall trumps anything Zhang has done,even if as you say he was hanging on in the end.A win to become heavyweight champion of the world should be something to savour.Besides McCall beat Lewis a calibre of wih Zhang can only dream about

    Lewis looked poor v an ageing Tucker and Bruno before being stopped by McCall while throwing a wide right hand that Steward would eventually straighten, McCall looked drunk v Bruno.

    Oh Mark you are always making excuses. Face the facts Bruno was a legit world champ like it or lump it.Anyway dont know why i bother to reply to the man who thinks Josh Warrington was better than Nassem Hamed :duh

    Zhang is dangerous for 4-5 rounds. After that he's trash.

    Yes Mark but that does not take away from the fact he was a genuine world champion. Plus the fact he was only got knocked out by people who were future or present world champions themselves.Zhang has fought no one who is any where near the calibre of Tyson,Lewis and Wetherspoon who all without doubt would beat him. I would also favour Bonecrusher over him. I repeat Frank is way better than Zhang. Your welcome to come back to this if i am wrong but i am predicting the overrated Joyce will win the rematch thus blowing your opinion out of the water

    Zhang by stoppage. No rose coloured glasses here. Big Bang is a bigger banger.

    Zhang beats them all and brutally apart from Mccall. Old bugner gets his head taken off brutally by zhang. And that old bugner was probably as old as zhang is now.
