Comments Thread For: Hearn: Zhang is Not Elite, Joshua Would Ping Joyce Absolutely Everywhere

[Ry92]

Zhang vs AJ is a good fight. This new AJ is a boxer first and well only yet still us super chinny will this look much like the Zhang vs Hrgovic fight I expect so. I would love to see this new AJ vs Hrgovic for Post Ruiz AJ is not a champion caliber boxer maybe paper champ but that's bout all.

Make Joshua - Zhang or joshua-Joyce fights next then Eddie.

What does Zhang need to do to get respect. He's won 26 out of 27 fights, he's a Olympic silver medalist, he's beat a bronze and silver medallist in his last 2 fights!. Every time Zhang beats someone, they then become bums? Flip and joyce are bums now? So when Zhang beats wilder, fury, theyre bums all of a sudden?
Zhang is elite, don't need to explain it and be apologetic about saying it. But it might be only for next couple of years.

It's ridiculous really. Boxing fans have the memory of a goldfish and love to criticize and put people down when they lose. Everything a boxer has accomplished before a loss becomes irrelevant and forgotten. It's supposed to be competitive. Would fans like it more if one fighter dominated and there was no decent competition out there? Upsets have happened since the sport began. It's the nature of the game, especially when you're talking heavyweights who can change everything with one well placed punch. I think Zhang's recent success has just made the heavyweight division more interesting and I'm not someone who thinks Joyce is garbage and has no chance of coming back strong. I was disappointed in Joyce's performance but I'm not going to say he was never any good. Sure he has his fair share of weaknesses but it doesn't make him a bum.

AJ should fight Joyce, and Fury should fight Zhang

[hitmanjosh]

Not only isn’t he elite but very basic and old as hell!

[SN!PER]

Well, AJ wants respect, he can get it by taking on Wilder, Zhang, or Joyce.

Well, AJ wants respect, he can get it by taking on Wilder, Zhang, or Joyce.

Given his last fight, the only way to get respect for AJ right now is buying Aretha Franklin's record.

Joyce would do absolutely nothing for Joshua now when he defeats Joyce , it’s like once again the forum has never watched boxing and doesn’t know it always complains when fighters take on guys after losses anyways ,now it’s going to be different all of a sudden right ? Don’t you guys remember a guy named Franklin ? When the typical crew comes on here and says Joshua defeated a shop worn Joyce and he cherry picked .


Joshua is working out a Wilder fight right now the same guy most think would splatter Joyce and your crying about that anyway saying Joshua isn’t ready like morons ?


This forum is as dumb as rocks it really is .,not only did some have Joyce winning against Joshua before Zhang now you have even more posters going with it even after the Zhang fight he got completely busted up in and based off a shut out against Franklin ? Even though that fight has zero resemblance to a Joshua vs Joyce where somehow Joyce got more credibility and Joshua has battered Zhang in the past amateurs or not ? Lol


On a scale from 1 to 10 this week I’d give this forum an 11 based on going over the marker of dumb , I seriously can’t believe this forum keeps getting dumber how do you guys do it ? Yea sure Zhang would beat Joshua easily now…Whyte even beats him because he got battered by Fury and Joshua’s not even in the mix because he lost to Usyk..and holy hell did you see what Wilder did to Helenius ? No way Joshua lasts two rounds there as well…………sure ..sure .

it's like people think there's only 2 great heavyweights in usy k and fury and everyone else is irrelevant? Yes fury and usy k are great but they still need to show us they're better than zhang and joyce.
Joyce isn't a bum for sure, because we know he lost to a great fighter in zhang. Fury said Joyce is no2 heavyweight on earth quite possibky
