    Usyk is of another level compared to Zhang who is tailor made for him. The Chinese goes ahead protecting his face with both hands countering the opponents however very well with power and speed. But Usyk is a southpaw like Zhang and has a footwork and movements of the head and the torso that could make miss Zhang the target several times frustrating him and making him gas out early. No way for Zhang to create troubles for the champ. Zhang is too easy to hit by Usyk from any angle. No upset this time.

    That would be a good fight. I think Zhang wouldn't hold back like AJ. Would be interesting to see what happens when Zhang lands.

    Zhang gasses late so he's gonna need to knock out Usyk in rounds 1-6 or it's over.

    Usyk is way too skilled for either Zhang or Joyce. Wide UD.

    Destroy in what sense? Outpointing him, as usual - yes, but that's all it could be. The point is Usyk is so active we'll mostly dream of his great fights. His fans seem to like it that way, as it's easier to glorify him on thing that didn't happen.

    I don't see Zhang knocking Usyk out or even down. His best chance would probably be a cut, which considering how Usyk's face looked after the first AJ fight could be a possibility. I don't see it as too likely though, so I'd bet on a wide Usyk decision.

    Usyk is great in till he gets punched in the head by a 280 pound titan

    Usyk moves, rolls, ducks and dances his way to either a easy points decision or a late stoppage when Zhang gasses from hitting fresh air all night.

    Zhang is beastly and a top 6 heavyweight, but Usyks speed, skills and high ring IQ will be all wrong for him.

    An immobile southpaw counter puncher vs a faster, slicker more agile one with an iron chin, only has one outcome, Usyk UD. Can't think of a worse match up for Zhang.

    Its called accumulation of accurate punches to an easy target.

    I don't think Usyk will hurt him much. There're few things we can talk about this fight, but since it's never going to happen, I'm not interested in doing so.

    He could have KO'd Joshua. He could KO Zhang or win by a large decision if the Chinese holds on to the end.

    @mods? Southpaw vs southpaw threads are HARAM no?

    Life ban for OP and nothing less will do.

    Could he? He didn't, so this is just an assumption. Zhang looks mentally stronger than Joshua and physically strong enough to take some beating, so Usyk winning with a decision is the thing I initially wrote.

    Why didn't he if he could? Had two tries to KO the 'glass jawed body builder', and did not.
