    After his performances against Joyce, particularly the second, Zhang is likely to get the leper treatment but hopefully someone from the top few will take him on.

    Zhang-Wilder could provide a 3-5 round cameo for the ages. A blink and you will miss it affair.

    Zhang-Wilder please.

    That wouldnt even be competitive, WIlder never fought an Elite oppononet and won, his only win was 40yo Luis Ortiz, and he aint Elite.

    What on the planet earth makes you think that the most protected fighter in the recent history, who faces only bums will even consider fighting a beast like Zhang? What exactly in Wilder resume tells you that he will take that fight ?

    He seems legit.

    And you're right...he's going to be avoided.

    I'd like to see him rematch Hrgovic.

    Only if Fury-Usyk fight happens, it isnt a risk worth taking for Hrgovic before Usyk fight.

    No way does the Dosser go anywhere near Sheldon.

    Let's see Sheldon rematch the Juicy One in the UK again. That's a fight that's actually doable, as opposed to whatever fantasy universe is required to make Wilder vs Zhang a possibility.

    Hrgovic's 'win' over Zhang is appreciating with every Zhang performance since. If Hrgovic is wise he won't go anywhere near Zhang again.

    The skill disparity is huge and Big Bang is much more technically sound. It's amusing watching people act like Big Bang will just fall over as soon as The Dosser lands that right hand whilst not even pausing to ask what happens to The Dosser when the far more skillful and technically sound Big Bang lands that backhand or right hook on his mandible section.

    I'll tell you exactly what would happen if he did - The Dosser will either be knocked spark out or knocked senseless in a quivering heap on the canvas

    Would love to see this fight, the two biggest punchers in the division duke it out. Personally I think Zhang does him early, Wilder struggled badly with Ortiz twice before his power bailed him twice and Zhang is better than Ortiz by some margin, plus far bigger and had the Olympic pedigree that Ortiz never had.

    But let's be real, Wilder would never accept the fight, he'll stay inactive and try to cash out vs Joshua then retire. He spent his entire career ducking serious challenges and milking the belt, no way he takes such a dangerous fight against Big Bang.

    I'd personally like to see Zhang vs Makhmudov or Bakole while he waits for a shot at Usyk.

    The "Big 3" of HW boxing will freeze out Zhang. They may fight him when he's 45 if he's not retired yet.

    Wilder would never get near Zhang. You have to be old, 3rd class, or with fragile chin to get in the ring with him. Supposedly coke ravaged and rusty Fury was already a cherrypick gone wrong.

    He went all out to get a rematch against Fury after getting destroyed in the 2nd fight. If it was a big money fight against Zhang, he would probably take it

    Because Fury is not a big puncher, and he actually had no chance. He was beaten already badly and his reputation was ruined. The reality is he didn't have any options.
    And i'm sorry but that all out was laughable.

    He wasn't prepared at all. Wilder is all talk. He didn't improve even one a bit since he won the HW title, not one a bit. He made zero improvements, zero changes, and he had zero adaptability.

    He would never risk anything against Zhang.

    From Wilder especially, everyone with a pulse gets the leper treatment.
