Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua's Options: Zhang is Easier Fight Than Wilder, But Still Dangerous

[Willow The Wisp]

Hearn is a great mouthpiece for his fighter.
Zhang is "An easier fight".
Easy for Joshua or easy for Zhang???

I am sure that I don't know, and neither does Mr. Hearn.

Fellow fans, a moment of unity here....

If we are to be completely honest.......
Any pairing involving Fury, Wilder, Zhang, Usyk, Joshua and Hrgovic is a Pick-Em proposition.

That's a great division after some years of watching "Klitschko vs. No-Hoper".

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.

I’ll take what you’re toking on to actually believe what you wrote. In his last fight (and many for that matter) he wasn’t “swinging for the fences.” In fact in his last fight he set him up for the right using feints and back peddling. It was a masterful boxing performance. However, people believe what they wish to believe contrary to even physical video evidence; akin to your present day mentally stunted voters. But I digress. He baited the man into his right hand and literally was walked into a right that was 1/4 thrown. Not “swinging for the fences”, not wild, not off balance but a beautiful setup. Being that it was a 1/4 thrown punch he knocked him out cold.

So no, Zhang’s “power” is no where remotely anywhere within the stratosphere of Wilder. To say otherwise is laughable at best.

Thank you!

also

Zhang isn't off balance when he shoots his left hand. so he can throw it 2-3 times in a row.


Wilder puts everything into 1 shot and has to recalibrate.

Zhang beats faded inactive Wilder with ease. Fighting once in 2 years ain’t making Wilder better. Wilder, Ruiz and Joshua are a distraction/freakshow now. Stop the fiction that they are relevant. Joshua only marketable because British sport fans are easily duped by nationalism

i hate promoters ASSUMING imaginary W's. so there's no need to ever fight a contender.



Just fight him then. I'm sure Zhang would take this fight in a split second.

[garfios]

Made the fight, Wilder, Fury, Zhang. Pick one and made the fights. Jesus, thus guy love to talk.

[Marchegiano]

It is crazy to me how ****houses can fight each other and some how it proves one's a challenge for the handful of talented HWs we have.

Joe Joyce is a stain. Him beating Danny don't mean **** because Danny is a stain, and, losing to Zhang doesn't mean **** because guess what? Zhang a ****ing stain.

These guys are so **** they have competitive fights with the Helenius caliber HWs of the world. Yes, Filip, is **** too.


It's ****ing insane to me we have a handful of clearly step above HWs and rather than appreciate the 4 or 5 worth a **** we call them bums while saying some **** stain who can hardly ****ing breath properly let alone box is something special.






... Ever wonder? Maybe? This is why Tyson Fury does not give a flying **** about a damn thing but money.

Yes, i wish theyd fight so in 10 years time weve a library of fights to see. I mean Foreman fought Ron Lyle, Chuvalo and them all. We are missing a interesting back catalogue if they dont swap dance partners, all fighting each other but i guess its too hard for them.
I mean you could put zhang in with anyone and itd be interesting, with Wilder, Josh, Fury, Usyk, DDD even. Some think Zhang loses to them, some think he wins, so lets see. Otherwise fans just talk crap predicting who beats who and annoying the bejesus out of each other with their predictions.

[HandsofIron]

Do it, good come back fight, AJ vs Zhang.

[thack]

So it was Wilder in Saudi for over a year and instead we got Franklin and Helenis , now it's Zhang in China so I wonder who is going to go in front of the 'stiff' now ? All this talk from idiot Eddie when his man's best win to date was against a novice Dillian Whyte ....let's have some prospective here..!
