    Just going from the current top guys according to The Ring.

    C) Usyk - Usyk easily beats him to a decision. Zhang's best hope would probably be to get a TKO through a cut, which isn't impossible given how his face looked after the first AJ fight but eh, I don't give it a big chance.

    1) Fury - Wilder 3 Fury could very well be knocked down and maybe even gets stopped if Zhang is composed enough to finish him. Hell I even see the current version of him going down, but I don't give it a big chance of happening and honestly, both versions probably go on to easily outpoint him even if dropped.

    2) Wilder - I see this as kinda 50/50. Depends on who lands that first big bomb. I'd probably back Zhang in this one, because I think he possesses the ability to take Wilder's one weapon away from him.

    3) AJ - The AJ we saw fighting Franklin probably gets hurt, but if he's able to survive he's probably able to outpoint him.

    5) Ruiz - Given his last performance against Ortiz, this is actually a fight I see Zhang winning on points, if not by a knockout.

    6) Ortiz - Again, going from the last performance, Zhang knocks him right the **** out.

    7) Whyte - Easy KO for Zhang.

    8) Parker - I haven't seen a ton of his efforts, but I actually think if he survives the early rounds, he could outpoint Zhang. But I think Zhang could stop him.

    9) Hrgovic - 50/50 based off their last fight. Again, if Zhang can stop him it's his, but if it goes on too long we'll prolly see what happened last time.

    10) Sanchez - I've only seen this guy fight once on the Wilder-Fury 3 undercard so any prediction I make here would be me talking out of my ass.

    Basically, the plan against Zhang should be to try and weather the storm to outpoint him, but it's a hell of a storm.

    Also I'll just throw this in here, I think he could beat Jared Anderson because we haven't seen him against any hard punchers so his chin is untested, and he lets himself get hit waaay too much. Tonight proved what a hard puncher Zhang is; you don't wanna let too many of those hit you flush. And he's not ranked anymore but he destroys Tony Yoka. Like I said in another thread: Zhang by round one murder. I say Zhang probably KO's Chisora as well, and Dubois probably gets his eye ****ed up again.

    Lol wait, being rank mean something when it fits your agenda. I bet you are the same kind of person who says Deontay Wilder never fought anybody. Well Gerald Washington, Artur Szpilka, Chris Arreola, Eric Molina, Yohan Duhaupas, were all ranked when Wilder faced him. Hell Charles Martin was heavyweight champion before so does that mean Martin is great now too? Joyce beat Joseph Parker a guy who was never special and is on the downside of his career, Christian Hammer is a nobody guy. If you actually think Hammer is good then please stop pretending to be a boxing fan. Joyce beat Carlos Takam a 40 plus year old guy who I never heard anybody say they thought was a good fighter even in his prime. So Joyce beat nobody and then Zhang a guy who never did anything else in his career besides start strong against hype job Filip Hrgogiv and then faded late and then beat Joyce. Yep that clearly means Zhang is the greatest heavyweight of all time right? He is also the hardest puncher ever, Sure various fighters went the distance with him including 198 pound Eric George but let's now talk about that right now.

    Wilder has had his eyes swollen like Joyces before. I don't see why Zhang couldn't do the same. Zhang also walked through Joyces power and Hrgovic without any trouble at all. Neither of those two are light hitters.

    It looks like you're doing some serious, incoherent rambling here, lad.

    I don't recall mentioning Deontay, nor Washington, nor Martin, nor Szpika, nor any of the rest of that crowd you're on about.

    Are you perhaps into the sauce this evening?

    Did you take some pills, maybe ?

    Or perhaps you forgot to take some pills ?



    At any rate, you're all over the place here with unrelated, unconnected blither that doesn't actually mean anything...unless maybe in your mind.

    And this...
    Who told you this ?

    Have you been hearing little voices ?

    Or this...

    Where and when did anybody say this ?

    Are you posting from some kind of institution ?


    Log off, get some sleep and sober up.


    You'll be embarrassed tomorrow when you see the screed you posted this evening.

    You really need some better insults because nothing you type is fazing me. But I can tell by the way you type that you are either 12, never watch boxing a day in your life besides watching Jake Paul fight. I said Joyce wasn't good. You typed Joyce fought guys who were ranked in his last 4 bouts. I explained to you that being ranked doesn't mean anything because Wilder faced "ranked" guys doing his title reign. You typed Joyce fought ranked guys in the last 4 fights he had. You do realize Christian Hammer was one of the people Joyce fought doing that time frame right? Which means you had to be saying Hammer was ranked. Wait let me guess you didn't realize Joyce fought Hammer in his last 4 bouts. You were just making stuff up about Joyce because you are in love with?

    But some how that is me jumping all over the place with my comments. You aren't very bright are you? That is a rhetorical question because clearly you aren't. Also I doubt you even know what rhetorical means.

    My point stands. You have no point. Joyce beat a bunch of nobodies and then got beat by a nobody. Are you going to cry about my point. Do you have a picture of Joe Joyce on your wall? Then go cry to that picture. He will still be a D- fighter tomorrow and the next day too. Just like tomorrow when you wake up you will still be clueless when it comes to boxing and I will still be better than you. The truth hurts doesn't it?

    Also be a dear and don't respond to my comment or any other comment I am not going to pay any attention or respond to anything else you type.

    Zhang does not equal Ortiz, for one thing Zhang is a lot bigger than Ortiz, he has a good 2 or 3 inches in height on Ortiz.

    Zhang was an Olympic silver medalist, Ortiz wasn't even the best heavyweight in Cuba or even the 2nd or 3rd best for most of his amateur career, hence why he was never picked for the Olympics.

    Not saying Zhang beats Wilder but just because they are both southpaws doesn't mean they are the same level.

    You couldn't possibly know how true that is. The depth of my pain is unfathomable, knowing that you are so much better than me.

    And not just me...you're obviously better than everyone else on this forum.

    Where have you been all our lives ?

    Why have you been depriving us of your insights ?




    Oh my...

    What am I to do now...

    You're not going to pay attention to me any more ?

    I have to tell you, that has left me devastated, truly devastated.

    To be deprived of the attention of such a knowledgeable, erudite boxing expert is a hard cross to bear, especially one who can crank out words like "rhetorical."

    Still, I suppose I have to struggle on...make the best of things.

    At least I can draw some comfort from knowing that I am not alone...no-one else can enjoy your attention either, now that you've managed to get yourself banned in a record setting six hours.

    I hope and trust that when you make your glorious return, face, that you'll reconsider your harsh treatment of this lowly poster, and as you put it, "be a dear" and allow me to once again have your attention.

    Two old guys with no head movement, but good power. I think Usyk, Fury and Wilder beats them both and I would actually fansy current AJ to beat them both as well…

    A fighter with a good gas tank and good work ratio, which means Usyk and Fury beat him with not big effort. They'd do similar to Joe.

    This face guy came out swinging for the fences trying to take long time posters out, lol. They had to silence the man because they couldn't take what he was dishing out. :lol:
