I think Joshua obliterates Ngganou. I need to see Joyce’s next fight with a legit opponent to see if his chin was finally cracked after taking bombs from Dubois & Parker before the Zhang fights. I need to see Zhang in with other contenders. Joyce’s chin held up in the first fight. It was his swollen eye that got the fight stopped. Those 3 fights may have shortened Joyce’s career. His chin may have finally been cracked by the time the first Zhang fight was done. I’m still not sure how good Hrgovic is as Zhang is the only real contender I have seen him fight. Dempsey McKean is relatively untested & De Mori is a can nowadays. I believe Joshua should beat any of the 3 fighters being considered.
    Why are you mentioning joyce in the same sentence as zhang? How many times did he needs to be ko?

      Hope it’s the boogeyman Zhang.

      Simply to see the instant flip flopping, right now everyone is saying they’re terrified of Zhang because they know a fight with Hrgovic makes most sense.

      If they pick Zhang I 100% guarantee peeps will start distancing themselves from the “Zhang knocks his ass out” predictions.

        They’re calling Wilder to old , Zhang will be or is 40 . If Joshua didn’t get much credit for Klitschko there’s really no point in this one either .

        If Fury defeated Zhang they’d be acting like he won a superbowl .

          And if AJ fights Zhang and beats him, it will be ... AJ beat an old man, so what? Zhang is clearly over the hill, otherwise Hearn wouldn't have let AJ go near him ...

            Because I think that it was the fights with Dubois, Takam , Parker & the first Zhang fight that finally cracked that chin. His defence was blocking punches with his face. I think by the time he got to the rematch his punch resistance was gone. That is why I said I need to see Zhang in with other proven contenders. Hrgovic is still unproven in my eyes as well. I’m not sold on Hrgovic or Zhang yet. I think Joshua beats them both. Zhang is a southpaw with power but he is a lot slower than Usyk much like Wallin. I bring up Joyce because I want to know if Zhang is really that powerful or if Joyce’s punch resistance is gone. That is why I said I want to see both of them against other legit contenders. I have some questions about both fighters that I would like answered. Zhang is 40 & Joyce is nearly 39. I refuse to jump on the Zhang bandwagon until I see him in with more contenders.

              Joshua always had the heart of a Lion. He has taken on a huge amount of very tough fights in his career and seems to want more. Wilder and Fury's list of opponents are very poor in comparison.

              The Joshua vs Wilder beef was always bull****. Wilder was never fit to carry AJ's jockstrap. Almost all honest spectators realise this now. In terms of heart and effort its a no-contest. Wilder was always a bum and AJ was always a champ.

                Said AJ would check for him since they fought in the Olympics. This AJ afraid of people created by Wilder LDBC Fanboys is getting old. Once AJ gets him past 6, he is going to lay a right on his chin just like he did in the Olympics and how Juan did. I like Zhang but here we go with Ortiz boogeyman stuff again.

                Forest also fought Zhang

                All 3 of these guys move vs Joyce who has good feet but does appear to use them.

                  Why not seeing him against aj? That should be a good fight.

                    Who does AJ seem to want ? Who is he calling out ?

                    Wilder really would go out on his shield and was always prepared to be the body on his own record. Wilder with his limited skills always had more heart and effort until Parker showed he didn't.

                    AJ quit against Ruiz, needed needed the refs help to beat Parker and got schooled by Usyk.

                    Heart of a lion that plays bullsh.!t A-side diva tactics to price himself out of facing legit contenders, aging them out and rematch clauses that show he doesn't back himself so you need to beat him twice.

                    Lionhearts don't do that, pu$$y ass b.!tches do.

                      I think the Sauds see AJ v Parker as the realest fight to make after Fury Usyk.

                      Doesn't matter what many other people think.
                      What makes you think the Saudis wanna see AJ vs Parker? Sh^t those guys wanna see Bivol vs Jai more than any other fight from the Dec 23 card it feels like to me.
