Zhang has far more power and a far better chin, Jared has never stop a fighte as good as Joe Joyce.

 

As long as Zhang cortisone shots are still working and he can get his weight behind his punches - it's Zhang by stoppage within 3 rounds.

 

Zhang by a big KO within 4 rounds

 

I like Anderson a fair bit, but Zhang converted me into a fanboy with his demolition of Joyce.

Let's go big bang.

 

Big bang would end all the big babies out there.

 

Zhang by ko

 

Not sold on Zhang yet,

 

Zhang would be favorite but Anderson might have the style to spoil it for Zhang.

 

Zhang wins with experience, Jared has no amateur background - every single elite fighter aside from Fury has an Olympic background and heavy amateur experienece - Parker, Joyce, Hrgovic, Joshua, Usyk, Wilder...

 

Zhang knocks him out

 

I don't like Anderson's chances here, at least not yet...

 

Did you see how Anderson struggled against southpaw journeyman Charles Martin? Zhang blows him away.

 

Anderson too green.

A healthy Zhang is just better. More power, terrific accuracy and timing on his big shots, exceptional heart and chin - and, unlike Anderson, doesn't make obvious defensive mistakes like pulling back when his opponent answers. Zhang would either have to be having a health-imposed "bad night" like he did against Jerry Forrest, or Jared would have to be a much different fighter than he is now to have a real chance of beating him.
