Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang Emerges As Frontrunner To Fight Tyson Fury In July

[Toffee]

Are you a boxing fan or a philosopher?

Why would he do this, why would he do that...because he is a world champ and he is expected to fight top contenders.

It's not particularly philosophical to think he'll probably do what he's always done. I'm some ways he's completely predictable.

You can expect what you want. I expect he'll fight who he wants when he wants unless someone backs him into a corner.

As I said. Fight your way to mandatory status or you're probably not getting the fight.

it don't matter if flip has official win over zhang. Everyone's got eyes and brain and can see for themselves, and don't need to trust 3 judges.
So flip having official win don't mean flip would be ranked or rated higher. At worst for Zhang he maybe rated lower h2h to flip, but Zhang can still be ranked higher than flip as he beat joyce. All flip has over Zhang is a controversial win.
Flip might say he had off night, but with Zhang beating Joyce, Zhang is within his right to claim he was one who had off night against flip and Forrest.

Hrgovic vs Zhang was an official IBF final eliminator and the official result is the only result that matters. Filip got the official win and he is now the IBF No1 and mandatory challenger for the title.

If Zhang had got the official win he would have become IBF mandatory challenger and would never have fought Joyce for the WBO interim.

Official winner and IBF mandatory challenger - Hrgovic

It is unprecedented mate, I have never seen it before. Never ever has a active fighter received so much credit for beating fighters he has never fought.

90% of the entire Heavyweight division is written off, and not worthy of a title fight according to certain Team Fury members.

According to Fury fanboys, there are only 2 guys in the entire division who are worthy of fighting Fury.

They are ....whoever he wants to fight next and Deontay Wilder, who he has already KO'd twice.

Right you are Hugh! A decorated amateur, Olympic medalist who has risen to the challenge and finds himself now an unparalleled national hero. Hrgovic called him out recently for a rematch (what winner does that?); but regardless of the judges ascetic subjectivity, the bottom line now is that Zhilei Zhang has passed him by.

[low blows]

That was my point in comparing him to Monty Burns. Looks at a middle-aged man and calls him a kid.

Oh I thought you meant in being greedy and evil...

No, fuckwit. The point is that, whatever opinions you might have about the scoring, Hrgovic got the win and he is the IBF mandatory challenger.
