If Fury comes in shape, I think he wins. Zhang is big, hard hitting southpaw and has a good chin. He's not the most mobile and he gasses in fights.
I think Zhang hits him and gives Fury some scary moments early but I think Gypsy King survives, pushes the pace and possibly stops an exhausted ZZ.
That clown is a well known AJ nuthugger.
These Matchroom casuals should have more appreciation for Fury's achievements, what other British boxer goes to Germany/USA and schools their champions and go home with their belts?
AJ went to America and embarrassed the UK by getting dominated and stopped by a fat man.
You've got a silhouette of another man in your username fellah. THAT is a fanboy / nuthugger. Nah, I'm not an AJ 'fan', I just like the guy because he fights anyone and doesn't act, he's just himself. Fury is a walking contradiction, liar, hypocrite. Youre a bit of an oddball if you're still sucking TF off when the rest of us can see what he really is. You're the minority pal.
Telegraphed? Huh? U did watch the fight yesterday right? Zhang doesn't telegraph that straight left at all. That's why it was landing.
And Fury will see the punches coming? Just like he saw them coming against Otto Wallin?
Zhang is a more powerful version of Wallin with a worse gas tank. For the first 6 rounds, Fury would have serious problems with Zhang.
Fury isn't all that impressive when he doesn't have a massive size advantage over his opponents.
Example:
Wilder 1: I thought Fury won that fight, but looked very vulnerable at times. Fury's size advantage wasn't so obvious.
Wilder 2: Fury looks impressive, because he had a size advantage. Wilder tries to put on more weight to catch up, and that was clearly a mistake.
Wilder 3; Fury had a size advantage, but not a huge one. Wilder came in at a lighter weight, and had Fury reeling at various points. This is Fury's best win, IMO.
Point is, Zhang is a bigger version of Wallin, with more pop. If Wallin could give Fury problems, Zhang will have him on the move for the first 6 rounds. After that, Fury takes control.
It's all pointless though; Fury will NEVER take such a high risk/low reward fight at this point.
Fury won't go near anyone who poses a threat, he is a coward.
Also, the dude saying Fury could see Zhiang's punches coming like Fury is some sort of matrix fighter....does that fanboy know that Fury has been hit and knocked down by loads of guys.
Zhang is a better hw than Fury. There are at least half a dozen better than Tiresome Fraudy. Can't stand the guy, I'm a Brit btw, he's just a horrible cunt.
Yeah a fraud that beat the two longest reigning heavyweight champs in recent history
Lol you are a clown
He isnt a fraud, he just wants to maximise his revenue.
Would Andy Ruiz be considered an easy opponent in your eyes, if he fights him next? He's a top 10 heavyweight in everyone's eyes and former champ.
Yeah we wanted the Usyk fight, but it's not happening next. So will you criticise him for fighting a legit top 10 and more proven fighter than Zhang if its Ruiz next?
we know you will

Are you well? Fury ain’t going near this fellah. And for good reason. Fury doesn’t want difficult fights, he’s a fraud.

That could be a Saudi fight probably, regardless of percentage, Zhang could make good money.
Fury would school him in a one sided fight though.
Wouldn't surprise me to see it actually. Zhang could be mandatory for Usyk but that wouldn't be called until next year anyway, so that fight isn't happening soon
Hearn wouldn't put AJ in with him right now, so Zhang ain't getting that fight.
The most logical thing would for him to try to keep calling out Fury. Fury might fancy it because they can market the fight on Zhang beating Joyce. Zhang brings good Chinese viewership too, especially if hes fighting a global star like Fury. Fury knows he can probably box his head off too.
When you weigh it all up, I reckon Fury, Warren, Arum etc will be looking into it at least.

Who you got in this clash of the titans?
I could see this fight happening next. Zhang better accept that 10% tho.
That 10% bit made me laugh.
It's actually a good fight. We didn't get to see Zhang's conditioning late in this fight against Joyce, but I figure Fury stands a good chance of stopping him late.
In what world are Zhangs punches telegraphed???? That left hand comes from nowhere.
Um Zhang punches look quick because of how slow Joyce is and how bad Joyce defense is.. But Tyson Fury is sloppy with his punches as well. The throws slapping arm punches.

The only fighters Tyson Fury has school in his career were guys like Chisora,Dillian Whyte and other hand picked opponents. Zhang isn't good. Him beating slow Joyce proved how bad Joyce is. In any case if Tyson Fury fought Zhang Fury would run like he always does and get a boring decision.
Fury beats him if it happens. Fury avoids everything the Chinese guy throws. Fury can see these telegraphed punches by mile.

You got to be trolling… fight before Zhang lost to barely moving Hrgovich. Rating him higher than usyk or fury is will be dumbest thing to say
rankings are current.
Hrgovich beats Usyk surprisingly easy.

Gareth A Davies (sports combat journalist) said Joyce stops wilder and josh, and usy k and fury decision joyce.Zhang stopped joyce, so to rate Zhang above fury and usy k isn't insane, only an opinion. Could be wrong and we'd find out when they fight.
Joe Gallagher(2 time boxing trainer of year) said Joyce beats zhang with little difficulty? So you see people can be way off with ooinions.
But you can rank fury and usy k above Zhang no worries.
Why you think that? Zhang beat Joyce and Joyce I rate. I don't think fury or usy k do that to joyce. Which makes a case for Zhang being rated higher than fury and usyk. You can rank Zhang lower though, that's no problem, somewhere in top5

Really? You think Zhang brings more interest/money than Usyk?
Brother, did u lose money on Joyce, or are you Chinese or something? There is no way you can buy into Zhang this much based on a win over Joe Joyce. It's not that Zhang is exceptional here. No, this is a matter of Joyce not being that good to begin with! How you are not seeing this is beyond me.
Joyce looked more bad than Zhang looked good.
Man, now you say Usyk is a big money fight? Fury`s handlers don`t think so, obviously.
Do you know what Chinese market is the biggest in the world?
Fury - Zhang is a huge fight. You can actually sell it to China, lol.
I know people are trying to hype Zhang, but he is no threat past r6-7. It was Joyce just that bad tbh, took all the lefts into his face… he would be destroyed by Usyk or AJ. Im sure none of mandatories pose any threat to champions right now outside of lucky punch which can happen obviously
You don`t know what are you talking about.
Right now Zhang is the biggest money fight for Fury. You can sell this fight to the biggest market in the world.

Easy work *maybe*. Zhang also brings little to the table in terms of financial compensation. He's not taking this fight.
You don`t know what are you talking about.
Right now Zhang is the biggest money fight for Fury. You can sell this fight to the biggest market in the world.
definitely would.
he would sell out in Henan. 1 largest economy. Athletes are revered in China which is why they are so dominant at the olympics. 1st heavyweight boxing champion would be absolutely massive. i think he would be the first CHinese boxing champioin period
Chinese TV audiences for Premier League football matches are often bigger than the entire UK population.
Warren has options on him and a rematch clause.
He’s ties to Queensberry short-term but he’s not a Queensberry fighter.
Of course he does. Old Fish Eyes loves his options and rematch clauses.
