I'd like to see ZZ fight in China.

But Zhang drew with a top-80 guy. Parker is a top 5 guy who just beat Wilder.

99.99% of the top level Heavyweights, can all win rounds vs Deontay WIlder 'Wilder's style is no mystery, Derek Chisora right now? Can most likely still win rounds vs Deontay Wilder'.

Deontay Wilder even at his peak, did not win rounds consistently vs any top level Heavyweight 'Very rarely was he able to achieve this'.

Eventually Wilder was always going to be in a fight, at some stage where? He does not deck or knock out his opponent 'In that sort of fight, Wilder most of the time in my opinion vs any world level Heavyweights is going to drop rounds and be out boxed'.

If a fighter can negate Wilder's power, then what else does Wilder have? Some aggression, gameness, a solid enough jab? None of this is good enough, to genuinely comprehensively beat any all time great Heavyweights, past or present top level Heavyweights.

Note: Parker's performance vs Wilder, was a straight forward fight. Parker was reluctant to even rate the performance as his best 'Because it was not his best performance. It was a control, sensible fight for Parker nothing heroic'.

Zhang is a Olympic Silver medalist, World Championship Silver medalist in the professional ranks. His boxing skills, are proven in both sides of the sport 'Amateur and professional'.

Zhang has just ****** out, Joe Joyce twice 'The fighter who, yes had a tough fight with Parker. But the conclusion to that fight, was that Joyce eventually obliterated Parker'.

Parker whenever he has fought a proven power puncher, who can also box 'Parker for me, has always fought them with a survival attitude'.

Parker will not be able to fight Zhang in this manner? He will not win rounds consistently, while fighting like this.

Parker is not the favourite in this fight, with anyone who knows boxing 'This is a really difficult fight for him stylistically' etc.

Parker is the only opponent ever that Wilder has failed to put down. They have all hit the deck... Parker had superb discipline and executed the game plan to perfection. If he had got a bit too aggressive it could have been lights out but not aggressive enough and Wilder would have been swinging at him

Parker is a proven top-10 guy against many opponents and has learnt from losses. Zhang has just got in the top-10 because he beat Joe Joyce and has never had to fix any flaws. I think if Parker gets past 5 rounds, he will win all night. Zhang has that power but if he can land enough big shots - he is an old guy who will gas. Parker landed huge shots on Joyce too - everyone did. That in itself is nothing special.

Doesn't sound right to me. A pro level athlete didn't have his iron levels checked anytime before a fight?? Makes you wonder if he is has been taking something to cause those problems....He is almost 40 but he doesn't perform like it.....

But that still doesn't explain the poor opponent? If Zhang is as good as you say why is he fighting a super bum?

Joshua stops and decks all of the common opponents Wilder has ever fought.

Parker vs Wilder 'Was a easy fight for Parker. Parker himself, does not even rate that performance his best 'It was just a straight forward, disciplined fight'.

It was not Parker's best ever all round performance skill for skill 'Because out boxing Deontay Wilder, and taking rounds off him? Is not incredibly difficult for any genuine top level Heavyweight. It has never ever been that difficult of a challenge'.

Deontay Wilder historically at top level, if he does not hurt or decked his opponents 'Wilder well then spend the rest of the fight being out boxed. This has been the common theme in 99.99% of his top level fights'.

Note: Zhang has just fought and beat Joyce twice, and had no issue with whatever pace Joyce was trying top imposed. Parker has never at any point in his career, has he ever been a pressure fighter 'Parker typically does not beat fighters into submission, because of the pace he is setting'.

I just believe that you are trying to make up, and bestow Parker with attributes that he has never shown 'Parker is a solid fighter, a proven top level Heavyweight. And I was one of few people who gave him a serious chance of beating Wilder. Which as always bothered the people who just went along with the status quo'.

But Parker vs Zhang, is a entirely different type of challenge for Parker. Zhang has power comparable to Wilder, durability comparable to Joyce, and boxing skills comparable if not greater than Parker's.

And you know this, that is why the only way to can discredit Zhang is by 'Making some cliche observations'.

The last time Parker fought a proven power puncher, who could box 'He fought to survive more, instead of fighting to win'. That is exactly how Parker fought Anthony Joshua.

If Joseph Parker is to win this fight, he will truly have to produce his best ever performance 'The Wilder fight has gone now, this fight vs Zhang is Parker's biggest ever challenge stylistically'.

Joseph Parker, really did not need to take this fight. But he is taking it, and people need to acknowledge the magnitude of this challenge for him.

Anyone who analyses fights, soon as Parker vs Wilder was announced 'We could all see from 100 miles away, that Joseph Parker could win the fight'.

When Parker vs Zhang was announced, nobody really can envision in-depth how Parker win's this fight 'When Smith vs Beterbiev was announced, nobody really could envision how Smith would win that fight'.

The only way people could envision those fighters winning, is by relying on cliche observations 'In my opinion, that is the incorrect attitude to take into a fight'.

If Joseph Parker is to beat Zhilei Zhang 'He has to fight a fight, he has never fought before' etc.

You shouldnt go by traingle theories. But Joyce beat Parker, and Zhang beat Joyce. So i go with Zhang to beat Parker. Zhang hits as hard as Wilder nearly, but is much more of a master. Of course dont count Parker out, he has spadefuls of experience. But i almost feel sorry for Parker. He could have taken an easy fight after Wilder.
