    1) If you think Usyk will duck anybody, you don't know Usyk, or his career

    2) Usyk doesn't keep his head on centerline...ever. That's why Joushua couldn't touch him unless he went to the body. Usyk would not be hit as many times in 12 rounds as Joyce got hit in Round 1

    3) Zhang isn't known for his stamina...if Usyk isn't getting hit early, that's not going to get better over 12 rounds. I could see a fight where Zhang lands 15 or less power shots and Usyk wins 118-110

    4) Usyk wants undisputed. Right now it's Fury or Dubois at the next mandatory (I think). Zhang has a better shot at getting a match with Fury in the meantime, or a rematch with Hrgovic. If he waits until the WBO mandatory comes around, Usyk may have won undisputed and retired with nothing left to prove.


    I want to see Wilder vs Zhang

    Fury demanded half a billion within a week to fight Usyk. He will ask for the whole billion to fight Zhang.

    From the mid point on this fight would be a painful beating as Zhang throws 1 or 2 punches a round and Usyk batters him. Possibly a volume stoppage.

    Lol Usyk never ducked anyone, always tried to make the biggest fight and is always willing to go to his opponents backyards.

    You have to be a tool to think otherwise.

    lol, Usyk already outclassed and destroyed a younger Joyce back in the day. He's not scared of Zhang. He would outclass him easily. Zhang would have his little moment here and there but no way would he be able to keep up with Usyk and his slick movement for all 12 rounds. And Usyk is not stationary target like Joyce, he's constantly moving and pot-shotting. He would wear out Zhang.

    Zhang is mandatory after Hrgovic. Why would he duck him, he is old - he would like that fight ASAP.

    When Zhang started gassing against Hrgovic, it points to Usyk disposimg of him efficiently.

    Zhang is 39 & has one semi decent win over a robot .. Usyk jumped up to heavyweight and was prepared to challenge Joshua and Fury .. I highly doubt he's scared of a big Chinese unknown who barely beat Jerry Forrest & has already lost to Hrgovic.. stupid troll
