Dont know if he even is an easier fight than Wilder at this point in time tbh. Especially considering Wilder barely fights these days.

Zhang is a better boxer than wilder. Arguably less powerful, but more technical and complete. Last night he was in his best shape, much better than the previous vs jj or the one vs Hrgovich.

I think Zhang would pass also the AJ test.

Make it happen Fast Eddie ....

You cheeky, cheeky man hearn. Zhang easier? Zhang a soldier in the mould of Mercer and vitali. He's not easier

I think it's very arguable about their respective power.

You can't judge Wilder swinging for the fences compared with Zhang delivering straight punches while balanced.

Punch for punch, I'd back Zhang's power over Wilder's.

Yeah that one I can’t agree with. Zhang is technically superior to wilder and a lot bigger than wilder and at this stage I wouldnt be surprised if he himself put the kybosh on wilder’s career if they fought which they won’t. Also, on current form, I’d take zhang over Joshua, Zhang is older yes but fresher and Joshua is far too timid these days. But hey, make it happen young Edward, put the fight together. “Cross the road” as the Hearn fans say and make the fight with Frankie

Zhang will 100% land on AJ. It’s possibly Zhang would end Joshua’s career.. it just all depends how Joshua reacts when he gets hit. His killer instinct has been taken away long long ago at this point.

Deontay Wilder hasn't fought in almost a year, and he only went one round in that fight! Zhang has fought twice in 2023, so no, Zhang is not easier! Maybe easier to make, but not easier to win! 6'6" Southpaw, would definitely be a problem for AJ!

[super-x]

Zhang has the power to stop Joshua, definitely showed significant improvement in rematch with not wasting shots and only firing where he was landing clean mostly. Joshua of late would get picked off and stopped/ko'd. Old
Joshua would be different story but this mentally shot AJ doesnt get past zhang
