    I feel pretty sure Zhang takes this, despite his abysmal gas tank. I think he finds the mark first with his better variety and precision, and it's not not like Wilder has a great work rate either.

    Yeah, because you wouldn't whine to high heaven if AJ took on Parker when he hadn't beaten anyone of note since being beaten down by Joyce and then Zhang after he'd lost clearly to Parker.

    If Joshua faces Hrgovic next, are you going to ***** about that too, or actually admit that's the right fight to make?

    Parker and Zhang would both comfortably beat Wallin and Ngannou. So yes.

    He should be fighting Hrgovic. Nobody disagrees about that, but let's be real, it's not happening. aj will get another undeserving shot at undisputed, hoping that age has caught up to Usyk or Fury, after getting slammed twice

    Fury is 35 which is a spring chicken

    Usyk is 37 which is OAP and retired

    It appears that Wilder is shot and finished. Is this his cash out farewell?

    Fury on cocaine? No wonder Wilder couldn’t knock him out.

    Just posted on Parker-Joyce II.

    Zhang-Wilder is a another tough one to call. Two big punchers late 30s/ early 40s. Which one has the most left?
    You can make a case for either fighter. I'm leaning toward Zhang. But unless DW is totally shot, it wouldn't shock me if he won.

    Usyk was prime in 2016-18

    Fury hit a prime form in 2020 which disappeared overnight with elbow injuries which cannot be treated

    Both are now old and ailing. Usyk has a naff right shoulder which he has maintained well.

    This is exactly what we want to see.

    Hopefully they will throw nukes at each other til one drops.

    Likely more money in the Wilder fight as well.

    That's why I want AJ to beat Fury. Usyk beats AJ who then beats Fury who beat Wilder. Its the perfect end of a HW era of divas who avoided each other for so long. None of them deserve to come out on top.
