      I am not sure Zhang beats him. Wallin has a good cardio. It would be a funny fight between two southpaws.

        I called the Wallin fight but in fairness, Usyk schooled him too, Gassiev is just ****e against top guys.

          Gassiev is frustrating to watch. You can see he is well skilled puncher , but his power is useless against well skilled operators.

            People often think they discovered something. I like the impulse... Some incredible achievements have been made in fields that were "locked up" from people who came in and saw things differently. BUT 90% or so of the time, it is simply a lack of understanding. Triangle theory is very seductive" "gee if this guy lost to this guy he cannot be that good compared to a common opponent!" But it just does not work that way... For a lot of reasons that would be cumbersome to go into here... I did a thread on triangle theory lol.

            What the Op fails to realize is how different a fight is depending on weight, the way styles may clash, and so many other factors that have to be considered when evaluating a common opponent.

            Like many here, I suspect he does not have his listening ears on lol, just a hunch

                Why do you guys put an -e on the end of everything? I’ve never understood that aspect of British grammar. Is it from the Norman / French influence?
