    I voted Dubois, the reasons are in the other thread. I think Zhang hits with more effective power but I'd bet Dubois hits 'harder'.

    I think Dubois probably generates more force / torque - but Zhang has fists like the proverbial cinder blocks - the very definition of heavy-handed.

    Overall I think Zhang hit's harder, but Dubois is no slouch.

    Zhang has bigger one punch power, but I think Dubois has the better knockout capabilities, if that makes sense. Like, it usually takes more than one punch for Dubois to down someone, but if they get back up he can finish them off. Zhang meanwhile can put guys down with one big and well timed shot, but he seems downright befuddled when they get back up.

    Likely won't happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing a fight between the two. Dubois should be the favorite, being the younger man with heavy hands of his own, but he often leaves himself open to counters, which is Zhang's favored method of attack.

    And hey, it's a fight between two big punchers where someone's guaranteed to be tasting the canvas. What's not to love? :ggg

    Hrgovic said The Dosser is the hardest puncher he's shared a ring with. He said this sometime inbetween having fought Big Bang and prior to facing Dubois but he sparred Dubois long before he fought Big Bang

    The fact that Hrgovic has never been put down despite sharing a ring with the likes of Wlad, The Dosser, Big Bang, Dubois, Haye among many others is crazy especially given how many flush bombs we saw him eat from Big Bang over 12 round and in quick succession too, Dubois, and even in sparring with The Dosser. No doubt he would've ate so many from Wlad and Haye too, both of whom rated him very highly from their sparring sessions. That's like a who's who of the hardest punchers of the last 30 years and some of the hardest HW punchers of all time

    I have referred to him by many different names over the years. It actually takes disciple to remember not to refer to him by his real name :lol:

    The Dosser is definitely the most fitting and Belly for Fury
    It does take discipline, it is why I commended you for it lol
