    Plenty on this site have described him as such.

    After Frazier suffered his first loss, he went 3-3-1 the rest of his career. The draw being with a guy who never won a fight after the draw with Joe. He got found out.

    Fury looks older than Zhang, Fury's footwork has long gone and he knows that Zhang hits hard. Its just another name on a list of names he will avoid.

    Joyce big dogging all his previous opponents, and then getting stopped by a bigger dog in Zhang, kind of supports the big man theory.

    I think Usyk is the great example that counters it. Shame Fury wouldn't fight him.

    If the fight happens, I will be rooting for Zhang with all my heart, I am convinced that Zhang can threaten Fury because Southpaws are difficult for everyone and Fury will have to adapt to that style...

    If Fury is fighting Ruiz this summer and has an easy fight, maybe he can go for Zhang as well in the autumn. But I am not sure that a fight can happen in China which might turn out to be a great place for quality sport events.

    Fury won't even play Street Fighter with Zhang.

    These 3 primadonna's Fury , Wilder and Joshua are scared to fight someone with a punch . Go milk the Saudis in december and free the heavyweight division , we had enough of you.

    Fury might fight Zhang but no freaking way will he fight Usyk, the #1 HW

    This all seems entirely possible.

    PAPA Zhang just single handedly smashed that Saudi ceiling price on a HW title fight.

    no reason whatsoever now the Chinese don’t come in for Fury Zhang and USKY Wilder.

    The division is pretty open right now. Last week if Fury said he was interesting in fighting Zhang, people would claim he was ducking Joyce.

    dangerous fight for fury. fury has bad tendencies, that just like joyce, up till saturday, nobody bothered to exploit. zhang is a smart fighter, well trained, he knows how to catch fury. whether his dimensions and conditioning allow him to be successful would be the question.
