Why won't Hearn get Zhang scheduled for a fight? Is he injured?

Because we all know Zhang would one shot the bodybuilder with that left hand

 

Do you guys really think Zhang can beat AJ?

I think if AJ comes in focused and undistracted, he should take Zhang without much of a problem. Joshua has faced possibly the greatest HW in the world twice and the 2 fights before that required a change in the 2nd fight, which AJ did & won after such a devastating loss in the 1st encounter with Ruiz.

Joshua has seen too much in the ring not to improve. He must have learned lots of stuff fighting the awesome Usyk, surely those fights seasoned him a bit, dealing with that amazing movement & style. No one will trouble Joshua with their footwork after that, they'll all seem slow in comparison!

Can you imagine if somehow Joe Joyce was AJ's next fight - going from the quickest HW to the slowest in consecutive fights?

 

Zhang vs Ortiz is THE fight.

 

That would be a great fight I'll bet! I like the older old guy (Ortiz) in this one.

 

Could well be it’s Joshua that’s lost confidence,the mental breakdown in the ring after the second Usyk loss was a sad sight to see and if that was not Joshua hitting rock bottom throwing the belts out the ring it’s not far from rock bottom. Let Joshua rebuild he’s certainly young enough and see if he can become a force once more in the division with a few tune up fights then look to get himself back in the title mix .
