    I mean… a 2nd Wilder fight isn’t a bad idea! Didn’t deontey say he wasn’t really 100% in an interview after the first fight?? Something about being slightly concussed after bumping his head hugging his statue too hard before the flight to Saudi. And the stoppage was a bit early!

    he doesn’t need to be 280. Zero reason why he’s that heavy other than the man likes food. Dropping to 250 would help his stamina a good bit.

    Zhang is overrated, he can have Bakoles engine and someone like Mercer still whoops him

    Yeah, he is at the age where he is diminishing and losing athleticism. If he gets a little slower and a little less endurance it’s going to be hard to compete at the top. And in another year his athleticism should be down a notch.

    Sanchez and Mak were both destroyed and stopped to the body by Kabayel too, only difference is it took way less body shots to get them out of there than it did Big Bang.

    Zhang needs to get rid of some of the belly fat that's slowing him down.

    A weight of around 260 would enable him to win a few more fights, even at his advanced age.
