Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua: The Fight To Make Is Still Deontay Wilder But I Don't Rule Out Zhang At All

[M312]

Zhang won't knock Joshua out. There were cab drivers that went 12 with Zhang. Zhang just has Joyce's number. That is all, but I would easily take a bet that he wouldn't knock out Joshua, Wilder, Fury or even Ruiz.

Zhang is a southpaw counter puncher.
If he has to go looking for a KO it's harder to find for him because he prefers people to walk onto his shots. In addition, he expends more energy hunting them down. Just not his style.

Fury and AJ may be patient and look for their own counters and openings. Wilder and Ruiz walk forward. That's what they do. A southpaw counter punch would be little surprise. Even Fury and AJ may be forced to engage more than they'd like.

You need to understand that styles make fights.

You obviously don't know Hrgovic is 1st mandatory for the winner in the rotation, Zhang is 2nd. It makes sense fir Zhang Hrgovic to be on the Fury Usyk undercard.

There's very little chance Fury wastes time with an IBF mandatory, he'll drop the belt and fight Zhang or AJ which are better fights. Zero chance Hrgovic risks his position in a dangerous fight with Zhang, he and his team will be content waiting for a vacant title shot.

Well, triangle theories don't work we know that, but no reason to dismiss Zhang won over joyce. It was Zhang who best joyce, not fury, usy k or Josh who beat joyce!
So if Zhang beats fury, you will say Zhang had fury number but don't mean Zhang beats usyk, josh or wilder?

I agree.

The disparaging of fighters is the toil of a weakling. And a tremendously popular pastime of posters remaining anonymous.

The reality.........
Is that we are looking at a renewed Zhilei Zhang, brimming with confidence and training with a purpose, and he's a brilliant fighter, very tough for anyone.

Likewise; Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz, Hrgovic, Usyk and Joyce are very very tough... for anyone.

Becomming a top 10 heavyweight is the pinnacle of sports.
Tune in and watch MMA'S VERY best give it a go for his first Man sized paycheck, and bear witnesses.
