    Joshua spanks Zhang like he did in the Olympics.

    Good idea - crossroads fight for both.

    Zhang is the definition of big stiff idiot

    At least give him Joe Joyce in a massive domestic dust up

    That would be an epic fight

    Zhang's 39 and will be 40 by the time he steps into the ring again. His gas tank only holds about 6 gallons these days.

    But Can'thony's tank also sucks.

    60/40 fight in favor of Big Bang.

    If Zhang had any sort jab, he could triple his effectiveness. He was in a fun fight last night, but his success was mostly due to Hrgovic's weak defensive game.
    I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with Hrgovic, but I don't think at Zhang's age he's making any adjustments. His stamina isn't getting any better at 40 either.

    Zhang's chin is too hard. And his hand is too heavy. Zhang KO.

    EDIT: Joshua got saved by the bell in the first Usyk fight. If Usyk has enough power to dent Joshua what do you think a 270+ chinese giant can do?

    I appreciate Zhang more today than I ever have.

    I thoroughly enjoyed his fight with Hrgovic. Zhang seems more like a 10-round fighter, though.

    I'd love to see it. I doubt Joshua could take the punches Hrgovic was taking.

    But any time someone says they'll fight Joshua, Hearn always wants them to fight Chisora or Whyte (or both) first.

    It's happening with Zhang now, too.

    Losing to Zhang would be a career ended for AJ

    His power didn`t look all that, you just saying that cause he`s big, his punches weren`t sharp he`s just a plodding heavy hitter.

    Another 40 year old for Joshua. Sounds about right.

    They'll duck Zhang just as they did southpaw power puncher Luis Ortiz in 2017. But on the bright side Chisora seems to want the Zhang fight.

    Ortiz was far more skilled than Zhang.

    Zhang would get decimated against any top fighter. People are over reacting to aj's defeat way too much. He only lost to Usyk ffs.

    Zhang was getting his head punched off by ****ing hrgovic. Zhang hasn't beaten anyone of any real quality.
