Maybe But only one way to find out The top guys are hanging out for that Saudi money and won't risk the payday Meanwhile the guys below them can duke it out to eventually challenge them
Mak needs to pay his dues first. I'm pretty sure Zhang is fighting a top 3 opponent next. Mak should fight Ajagba.
He's in line with Hrgovic as mando for Usyk but will likely need a stay busy fight. No chance that will be Makhmudov. Step up Chisora/Parker/Pulev/Wallin.
Zhang by KO in the early rounds. Mak gets hit too often and doesn't punch near as fast as Zhang, who has a strong chin and good defense. He'd go in there trying to make it a game of rock em sock em robots and get taken out after a few of Zhang's bombs landed clean. Think of Rozanski vs. Babic and that's kinda what I'm picturing here, except one guy actually has technique to his game.
