    I think he goes to sleep. I reckon Zhang could wreck the fury family in a fight.

    What happens? Fury takes it and comes back to destroy that mediocrity. Levels.

    He probably does. Last time he faced a southpaw, Wallin very nearly did him, that's why he's avoiding the best southpaw of the lot like the plague.

    It's kind of a nightmare match-up for Fury to be honest. Hound of the Furyvilles.

    Zhang delivers that left with power and precision and Fury will get hit with it. Fury's legs & stamina are superior though so have to favor him but his inactivity does him no favors here.

    Fury likely gets dropped by a flush perfectly timed left though.

    I know it ain't a super popular idea, but I'd back Zhang to pull off an upset here. I've said it before, I'll say it again: if Wilder with his single telegraphed punch can get Fury down, so can a guy like Zhang. In addition to having power, his punches are sneaky and he has more than one in his arsenal. He's also a southpaw, which doesn't hurt as shown by Otto Wallin, who Fury did beat comfortably but took some notable damage from, and I'm not just talking about the cut; Wallin had him hurt several times in round 12, but Fury was able to tie him up to stop the attacks long enough to recover. Fury employed the same tactics against Wilder anytime he was hurt or put down, but given Zhang's frame I feel like he wouldn't find quite as much success.

    And I'm still not convinced the way Fury moved against Chisora was him "playing to his opponent's level." I'm gonna withhold judgement until we see him out again, but if that's how he is now, I'd fully back Usyk and Zhang to beat him; Usyk would box circles around him and Zhang would knock him out flat. Hopefully he isn't though because that makes the fights far less interesting.

    Fury has already took a nuke to the dome twice and came back stronger.

    He is radioactive godzilla

    No 40 year old dosser with flat feet and only a punchers chance can beat Fury.

    Zhang has the style to cause Fury problems no doubt. Fury would grind out the win but not before being given a few shaky moments.

    This is on the premise that Fury is done with urinating away what is left of his career and not securing the fights we all actually want to see.
