    This is a fight I would much rather see than a Joshua-Fury fight.

    Fury. One thing he could try is to just fight to survive the first 3-4 rounds, waiting for Zhang to tire a bit. Then once he’s tired, box his face off. Fury’s gas tank is like 4x the size of Zhang’s.

    I'm a Fury fan and I do think in his prime a few years ago he could have took this but now? I think Zhang's too powerful. Fury couldn't take it.

    Yes, Ngannou was easy pickings also…..

    Which version of Fury do we want for this match - fat, thin, something in between that’s just right, a perfect camp, complete dis-ownership of his father, fully angry, fully happy, angry/happy, front foot, back foot, front/back foot, back to front foot, etc etc?

    Exactly which permutation will make for the ideal Fury to avert any post fight excuses?

    Zhang may only have a connect rate of say 6 punches per round (he’s a compubox operator’s dream) but if 3-4 of those are flush, then it may well be Happy Chinese New Year!!

    Damn, this post has made me suddenly hungry for some reason. :lol::lol:

    Fury has become way to easy to hit. Has to go the boxing route and do some slick movement tiring Zhang out; win on points or drop him at around round 8 or 9. Kronk Fury will get seriously hurt by Zhang.
