    Come on, you want to see Joshua get cracked by Big Bang.

    Joshua would be in danger all night.

    Joshua has a much better defence than Joyce and much faster hands. Obviously Zhang’s southpaw straight left could land and I could see Zhang knocking Joshua out. However, right now I still think Joshua stops Zhang.

    Zhang is turning 40 next month and has stamina issues. They weren’t exacerbated tonight because Joyce didn’t throw many punches at all.

    Joshua have proven problems with southpaws, and this one was also great amateur and has murderous power in his hands.Do you hate Joshua?

    NASA are currently running simulations for future space propulsion technologies which use a Zhang left and Wilder right hand landing off AJ's cranium to power future spacecraft.

    Still Joshua by decision or stoppage. I dont want to ride the hype train too early. Joyce was there to hit, unfortunately for him Zhang had power. Joshua at least is defensively responsible and has power as well

    I don’t think Joshua would be up to it mentally. Zhang way too dangerous.

    Joshua boxes him early doors, waits for Zhang to tire and stops him late. I know Joshua hasn’t finished many people lately, and Zhang looked excellent tonight - but lest we forget how exhausted Zhang has historically looked in the latter parts of fights. This could actually be a good match up for Joshua - someone his back foot/safety first boxing would serve him well against in the first two thirds, wearing Zhang out - and then give him the chance to get a stoppage over someone who is leg less in the latter third.

    Joyce threw over 450 punches. That is actually a lot.

    Zhang points, Joyce has the worst defence of all the heavyweights….Zhang couldn’t put him down…and couldn’t finish Hrogovic.

    Shame Joyce’s eye swelled up to the point where ref had to stop it otherwise I think Zhang would’ve tired and kept working on the straight left without really looking to force a stoppage.

    Joshua was flinching when Usky was hitting him. Now he batters Zhang? Seriously?

    He fought scared against Franklin. Now he's going to stand in the pocket with a very handy 280lb southpaw?!?

    This fight isn't happening unless one or both get belts.

    Zhang hits fairly hands and has quick hands when he throws but he has tank isn't up to it. Joshua would stop him
