    Yeah the only reason you say this is because Usyk beat him. If Zhang destroys Joshua, Usyks resume takes a big hit.

    It all depends on what Zhang is fighting for. At age 40, I would think that money should be the priority, not a title he won't be able to hold for more than a fight or two. If Joshua is throwing big money at him, why not take it?

    Your comment is funny.

    Anyone could think that the body builder has sparked zhang, but he has never done it.

    It could turn from a slugfest to a hugfest if it goes beyond the 6th.

    But the Usyk fans don't want to admit it

    I rate AJ relatively highly but I have to favor Zhang right now. I'm likely overrating Zhang at the moment but think his offense would be too much for AJ.

    Agreed. I'll add...

    AJ made some errors in judgement and game planning in the past and if he does it against Zhang, Zhang wins.

    AJ decided he would get close to a guy with fast hands and T-Rex arms by comparison in Andy Ruiz Jr in their first fight. He didn't properly use his reach.

    For an encore AJ decided he'd outbox the master boxer in Usyk for the first fight where he said prior that he would bully Usyk and overwhelm him.

    If he decides to be tentative against Zhang, unable to properly pull the trigger like he was with Helenius, Zhang wins.
