Are Heavyweights Just Going To Pretend Zhang Doesn't Exist?

[hugh grant]

Usy k and fury no 1 and no2. Whoever loses, drops to no3 and Zhang becomes no2.

[Atypicalbrit]

Yes.

He's 41 years old, which is OLD, but he's well preserved for his age and has good skills and probably the 2nd hardest puncher in the division after Wilder.

Beating Zhang doesn't do that much for a fighter, "well", they will say, "he was good but let's face it he was old and had bad stamina, and Joshua dropped him in the Olympics so his chin wasn't that good"

Unfortunately, due to the way boxing is set up and how fans behave towards fighters, taking a high risk low reward fight is somewhere on a bell curve between bravery and ******ity.

The only way this will change and give fans more exciting, competetive fights that we want to see is if our attitude towards fighters who lose risky fights changes, in MMA you can get chinned spark out and be back in main events a year later almost like it never happened. If you get sparked out in boxing oh my God you'll never hear the end of it no matter what you do.

Zhang reminds The Hawk of Ortiz in 2014-ish.

Once he loses people will claim they never were high on him.

And if you don't agree shove it before I smack you one.

Zhang is in position to fight the Fury - Usyk winner.

[PRINCEKOOL]

I guess it will be up to Joshua or the other top Heavyweights to fight Zhang 'And not Tyson Fury's responsibility as a Champion?'.

Because you know? Fury has fought Deontay Wilder three times and this makes him exempt in some peoples minds 'Fury does not need to fight any other top Heavyweights, apparently his hardcore fans believe that he has dominated a division and era. When in reality, in all seriousness? Anthony Joshua and many other top Heavyweights have all fought off Fury's main competition for him'.

Fury did not fight of David Price when he should of fought him, Fury did not fight off David Haye, Fury did not fight off Anthony Joshua 'And it was Anthony Joshua who beat the version of Wladimir Kiltschko, who Fury should of fought in their scheduled rematch which unfortunately he kept on pulling out of due to his circumstance.

Usyk is a former cruiser weight who has invaded the Heavyweight Division, yes he is now a Heavyweight 'But I would not put the responsibility on him to fight Zhang, as strongly as I put it on Tyson Fury'.

Note: Tyson Fury is a Super Heavyweight, he is the fighter who has campaigned within the Heavyweight Division his entire career 'If anyone wants to complain about Heavyweights avoiding Zhang, then really they should be aiming those complaints at Fury most intensely in my opinion'.

Anthony Joshua has fought Zhang in the amateur ranks 'Joshua decked Zhang at the Olympics, decked him 10 to 12 ounce gloves' And I am sure? If Zhang had a Heavyweight title, then team Joshua would have Zhang as one of their targets etc.

[HeadShots]

Zhang is better than the average fighters. Hes easy pickings for the top 3.

fury just got his head bashed in by a 40 yo MMA novice.


the other 3 are all 1 punch away from Zhang.

he's bigger, harder puncher and more accomplished than ortiz ever was professionally and in the amateurs.

100 percent truth.

[-Kev-]

Wilder’s people checked in on him.

Anyway, the biggest fights to make are Wilder-AJ and Fury-Usyk.

[mrbig1]

Zhang is in position to fight the Fury - Usyk winner.

You would think so. I don't think Fury or Usyk wants any part of Zhang. It's clear Wilder vs AJ is next if the two win Saturday night. This leaves Zhang out in the cold. it would take a super payday to get anyone to fight him.
