Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang: Hearn Won't Let My Anywhere Close To Joshua, He Knows What Will Happen

Emperor Zhang would crush AJ flat. Eddie has no more cash cows and won't risk it.

That is a fact.

In the olympics you were on all fours. Now you're 40 and out of shape, went life and death with Jerry "can" Forrest. Couldn't put away Hrgovic who didn't block or slip a single punch in the whole fight. His only notable win is Slow Joyce who took 700 power punches to the face from heavyweights in the couple of his previous fights. He was likely damaged goods already which we will see in his next couple fights.

Talk is cheap. How about you beat someone of note first? Your record is full of taxi drivers and street vendors.

I personally believe that Zhang would knock out Joshua. What they have been doing with Joshua is feeding him tomato cans to get back his confidence before throwing him in with a more credible fighter. With the way that Wilder looked in his last fight, I would consider him a tomato can at this point. Zhang is too high risk for Joshua. They need to find someone low risk for Joshua but with enough credibility to make him look better. Wilder is that guy.

Come on. Zhang beat who? Joyce and a select group of dudes who fight like they were picked from a local pub. He got a gift against Forrest. He couldn't dent Hrgovic who has zero defence.

If you compare AJ record and Zhang record you cannot say AJ has faced cans. Unless ofc you're full of it.

Eddie will never ever let any decent fighter go near AJ. There is a big risk with Francis even, but at least he will squeeze his puppet for the last time.

Zhang has everything to knock out Joshua, even worse than Ruiz did. What he doesn't have is the endurance for 12 tough rounds where AJ is a little better.

Zhang is biggest puncher in HW division and has fast hands. He will land his shots on every opponent. Only question is who can survive. The one who can take his Power punches can beat him. But I do not see how AJ can survive because he has no strong chin. He can only try to outbox him from distance.

Hrgovic won that fight only because he has strong chin.

I agree Hrgovic has a strong chin for now. But the way he fights it’s gonna go sooner rather than later.

But what is your claim based on that Z is the biggest puncher? Why wasn’t he able to stop Thomas, George and Goode for instance?

It is just my impression based on last few matches that I saw. I think that he is now in his best prime.

Hrgovic will show us soon who he is.
