    I think only Usyk and Fury beat him.
    Zhang is huge, powerful, fast hands, solid defence.
    His only downsides were stamina and workrate. Only a superior boxer beats that. Zhang is high risk to everyone else in division and will be avoided.
    Fury will duck him, hoping to see Zhang vs Usyk.

    Always possible with Wilder but Zhang can box and hits hard. I give him an OK chance. Wilder went many rounds with complete bums remember that.

    Honestly, I think only Usyk. Maybe Wilder, depending on how well Zhang can take those shots. I think Zhang would have beaten Fury.

    Small HW's with speed and stamina, could beat him.


    Would like to see Zhang vs Ruiz next

    if it's a slugfest, it means Zhang can take his shots. If he can, Zhang wins. Wilder can't box! But I think Wilder flatlines him to be honest. It doesn't get to be a slugfest, more like the Ortiz fights.

    Serious question. Was Zhang that good or was Joyce very average?
    I like both fighters and was surprised by what happened tonight. Zhang threw heavy, accurate shots which landed and messed Joes face up.
    We know much more after tonight.

    A slugfest can be 2 or 3 rounds... Look to Hagler-Hearns. 2 big bangers in the ring, someone is getting knocked the **** out.

    You ugly mushroom. Whyte would be a certified corpse if Zhang hit him with the shots he hit Jotce with.

    I fully admit I’m probably getting carried away by Zhang tonight but people were saying Joyce was top ten and Zhang was a level above. I think he would give Wilder a very good fight.

    Good point. Joyce looked clueless in there tonight. Felt sorry for him.
