    How bad is Zhang's stamina? 2 years ago he knocked Jerry Forrest down once in each of the first 3 rounds. He may have won the 4th but didn't win another round fort he rest of the fight.

      you can't look at then as he legit had kidney failure.



      how about look at recent performances. Zhang won a 12 rd decision over Hrgo.

      Zhang was piecing Joyce up in the 6th round when he was stopped.

        This happens every time there is an upset. The hype train comes rolling in. Not to disparage the win, but let’s see some more from Zhang before we start crowning him the new king.

          Both guys fight in slow motion. That's the reality. Fury would land overhand rights at will on either of them, Usyk would piece them up with ease, and Wilder would knock their hands into the stands.

          Too slow, no defense, no head movement for either Zhang or Joyce. They're stationary targets.
          Zhang actually has fast hands, nowhere near as Joyce.

            He doesn't have fast hands. He just has faster hands than Joyce. Watch his fights with Hrgovic and Forrest. He's slow as molasses with his feet and his hands and he gets hit clean to the face way too much. He got robbed against Hrgovic but that was a garbage fight between two guys that ain't ****.

              he now has a much better win than wilder ever had so why isnt he entitled to a bit of hype? wilder's best win was ortiz who only beat jennings. joyce beat jennings, dubois, and joseph parker. not even close to the same ballpark and zhang destroyed him, unlike wilder who lost every round before ko'ing the old winded ortiz. better win and better performance.

              Zhang is due a guaranteed $350,000. is zhang making millions headlining against bums? no. thats pure hype. its easy to see it now when people arent so emotional about it but wow that was a hype train. zhang will probably have to take tough fights and lose and that will be that. he wont be given a long parade of bums for years to build any hype wilder style

                Yeah I thought the same, but only because AJ is in his head, and he's a shell of a man. He'd panic the second he got hit.



                Anyone else with any semblance of footwork or head movement wins though.

                  sometimes hype trains are made just by beating bum after bum. look at wilders career.

                    Literally word for word.

                    Your comprehension is horrendous and as we’ve already established you completely missed the point of this thread.
