I understand Fury is the most hated man in boxing currently but a serious Tyson Fury beats Zhang by decision. Fury's feints and movement will make him a difficult target for Zhang. Fury would use his jab pick his spots to throw combinations.
There is a big difference between Hrgovic and the rest. The guy has beyond insane chin. But hell even Joyce hell a close to granite one, but that didn't help him. Hrgovic also lost that fight. And Zhang has improved since then. Every fight is different and i think Zhang from Joyce 2 would have KO Hrgovic as well. And stop with this nonsenses with Fury movement and speed. The guy is a fat Fraud, he was speedy 5+ years ago. His movement and speed is shot to ****. If people can't see this, then i don't know. It's not hard to look good against a shot to s*** Chisora, who was there for the money. And Fury couldn't even KO him and fight him at low pace, and clinch fest him through the rounds. Last time Fury faces a southpaw also was 4 years ago, where Fury was in one of the best shape in terms of his size, and his faces was busted badly, needed 25 stitches, and was rocked hard and bad in the 12 round, against a complete bum in Otto Wallin, who is also a featherfisted on top of that. Zhang is a monstrous killer. Every time he lands he make damage on your face. Just ask Joyce who was not even rocked before. Every time Zhang land on Joyce face, there was huge damage on it. Zhang is also a very good boxer and set his punches. He was taking his time in the second fight, was punching to the body, and set that left hook. Did people even see Fury shape against Ngannou ? Even if he manage to trim down against a Zhang, that takes it's tool he will 100% lose resistance, and his explosiveness will be shot to s****. His cardio is also going to get worst. He is 35, not 25. You can't play with the weight like he do, and not literally destroys your physical attributes. Also Fury clinch fest won't work against Zhang. But if his fans are so sure that he will beat Zhang, they must also be certain that he will take the fight. There is no reason Fury to not face Zhang or Usyk after that b.c. exhibition with Ngannou. Let's not forget he pretended to want to face Zhang, but supposedly it was Joyce who activated the rematch clause. Which in reality was a big lie, as Ngannou fight was signed February. I just cannot wait for the excuses Fury fans are going to make for when he did duck Zhang, as to me that is 100% certain. And a World Champion is supposed to fight the absolutely best in the division, not fight the worst one, just to remind you, if you forget.
We all know he's not taking the big bang Zhang fight, he's too dangerous for Fury. Word on the street is he wants Roman Reigns next for the Undisputed WWE title.
Joyce was flavour of the month on forums and we saw how well that played out. Zhang is the new flavour of the month. Fury would start favourite and rightly so because he has the tools and the demonstrated ability to win.
I don't know what form Tyson Fury is in right now, but prime Tyson Fury would IMO show Zhang slickness, and win by decision.
Against who? Precisely? Old Wlad? Who owes his renown (in his prime) to the love and forebearance of his big brother and the fame of Tommy Hearns' trainer? His only other good (context?) win is Wilder who everybody says was never any good. You can't have it both ways. This is an era of **** (despite the wealth of talent) courtesy of hyperconnectivity encouraged entitlement. At this point he's become a swish of inderminate gender and will no longer throw his tiny nuts up.
If this was prime Fury, Fury would easily outbox and avoid Zhang. 2023 Fury? No idea, it's difficult to know what you'll get. Fury doesn't seem like he cares anymore. If he shows up like he did vs Wilder in 2021, then he'll get brutally KO'd. Usyk would be the hardest fight for Zhang.
If Fury shows up like he means business, then Fury plays with Zhang. He might be acting like a ballbag by avoiding Usyk, but lets have it right he's still the top dog at heavyweight.
