    Dont worry about Zhang stamina soo much. Parker will be one who must work much harder in this fight.
    Zhilei can just put little presure on him and wait for occasion. He is the biggest man here so if Parker want land smth he must first be in Zhang reach.
    Zhang is heavy- that's true. But he is not silly. He would not come to soo important fight without good prepereation.

    At nearly 41, he's running out of time to get his money made. I'm guessing he'd take this fight even if he wasn't 100% but I'm not saying that's the case. I wasn't impressed with him at the weigh in though.

    At his age, that's no guarantee at all, really, though - by the time there's a champ free to fight him, he'd probably be retired already... It's not as if either Usyk or Fury are likely to bother fighting on afterwards either - so it'd probably end up as a fairly lowly paid fight for a vacant belt.

    In that context, it makes sense to make the good fights while it's not too late.

    Look how long Whyte was messed around as mandatory. Zhang doesn't have any time to spare.

    Do you still think zang deserves a title shot?
