Zhang easily by a brutal KO. Fury chin is beyond average. It's not a China one, but Zhang will turn it into one. A complete bum skills wise like Wilder was landing that right hand on Fury on will, but people wanna make Fury some magician, based on what exactly ? One performance against 40 years old Klitschko, who didn't shows up that night, in the ugliest match ever, where Fury won by just landing few punches more, even though he missed most of his shots too, against again 40 years old ??? It's not hard to look fast against the likes of Whyte, Wallin and Chisora. Klitschko fight was 8 years ago. Fury has abused his body big time, and he is in no shape to face any top opponent, as he will get literally smashed. AJ, Zhang, Usyk, all of them going to smash him to bits. Fury elusiveness is long gone, and people making some mythical version of him, aka the 1 time show version, and then combined with Wilder 2 version where he was a lot heavier, and making 2 man into one ..... Also Fury power is another mythical thing, so it's beyond ridiculous to claim Fury will KO this or that guy. The guy couldn't f**** KO guys like Pianeta, hell he couldn't even drop him, Wallin, and 40 years old Chisora, who shows up just for the money, Fury couldn't even drop him once. Where is that mighty power comes from ? KOing an absolutely Bum in Wilder, who is facing only bums himself, cause he knows what will happen when face a legit challenger. Zhang is also 280lbs. of monster, high IQ, good boxer, move very well for his size and it's insanely fast. He is a problem for everyone. But he would murder Fury without a f**** doubt. Just because you get up few times after KD, doesn't mean you magically will do it every time, especially when the opponents let you off the hook. Which Zhang won't do, and Fury can't grab and hold there. Again Fury body against Ngannou speaks for itself. The guy won't face any legitimately top contender. At 25 years old you can get away with being out of shape, and then comes into decent one, at 35 years body just won't allow it. Fury footwork, speed, reflexes are thing of the past. Zhang is going to kill him inside 5 rounds.
He isn't going to outpunch Zhang, I don't think, but he should be able to outbox him pretty easy. If he shows up and if he's 'all there', that is, as I'm not too sure about his mental/physical state these days.
Zhang by K.O. under 5 round, Fury never fought opponent of this magnituted, Wilder is a fraud and Klitcko was older than Zhang.
Fury won't fight him, mark my words. When Warren asked, he started to deflect the question. He was rattled heavily. It's going to be Usyk vs Zhang, mark my words.
To be honest I am a fan of Zhang and think Fury should have his belt stripped as he continues to insult the sport and fans. But, having said that, if a well prepared Fury turns up he beats Zhang. I can't see Fury ever taking the fight, its another risky one for him, Zhang while not quick is a harder hitter.
I think people need to judge Fury strictly on his boxing ability and not let his irritating personality cloud their decision. He's leagues above Zhang and would outbox him quite easily IMO.
I'd favour Fury but I doubt he would want to even take the risk at this point considering how hes been acting. Big tall strong southpaw with power = no thanks.
This is based on what exactly? And i can counter that people need to actually open their eyes and see Fury for what he is, a big fat fraud ! I'm so amaze at people on here and what they are saying, aka: "Oh Fury will KO him, but he won't fight him" .... How the f**** you can even comes with a sentence like this ?
Because Fury is a bipolar idiot who rarely makes sense. I'm not saying he would fight him, but if they did - he would probably win. He's just the better fighter.
Fury has entered the stage of his career which is titled "Damage Limitation". Easy Coin for Easy Fights thus protecting his sacred "0" at the expense of the fans and wider boxing public. Whyte Chisora Ngannou C'mon!, let's have it right lads. Fury doesn't want the work of Usyk, AJ, Zhang on terms less than 80/20 when he can offer the same terms to undeserving fighters who'll lap up the chance of a WT Shot. The best thing that could happen to the HW Division (imo) is for Fury / WBC to vacate the title, let the fighters who want to fight (and regularly) for this belt, fight.
