    I think AJ would have problems with Zhang. I'd favor AJ, but only about 60/40 at this point. That's how badly diminished Joshua is.

    I think Zhang could give Tyson Fury problems too. Just like Otto Wallin did.

    Is Zhang spectacular? Of course he isnt. What he is though is extremely unique for this era of heavyweights; A Southpaw with quick hands, who throws punches in combinations.

    And let's not forget something else here; Joe Joyce's defense was BAD tonight. Zhang landed more than 50% of his power punches!

    I know he's awkward, but Joyce had to tighten that defense up! I think if he even went into a defensive shell for the first 6 rounds, and stepped on the gas afterwards, he would have won.

      Dubious landed 44% of his power punches v s Joyce also. Miracle he got this far tbh with zero defense.

        Zhang is also slick. he has very underrated defense. he's actually improving.


        Joyce couldn't land on him clean.

          Zhang's hands were noticeably faster than Felip's. Hrgo had to stop throwing whenever Zhang pieced him up.
          What does Zhang being faster than Filip Hrgovic have to do with Zhang having faster hands than Andy Ruiz?

            Hrgo has fast hands.


            Ruiz's hands are also a foot shorter in reach
