    Both of them can fight for 4 rounds maximum before literally dying in the ring.

    So who would win this cripple fight ?

    I would favor Itauma against current, mid 40s version of Zhang

    To me Itauma just has no idea how to pace himself.

    With Zhang I think he just has a gas tank issue cause he doesn't even have a high work rate

    All these new-fangled training methods that are supposed to make these guys so much better than past guys and they can't even go 10 rounds without gassing out

    Zhang probably too old now but the Zhang of a few years ago, I think would have stopped Itauma.

    This would be the first fight where Itauma's head looks normal sized in the face off.

    He would probably box Zhang's head off and either stop him if Zhang quits or wilts or get KOed once Zhang starts clubbing him round the earmuffs. Youth probably wins this if Itauma can even slightly pace himself.
