Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang on Joseph Parker: I Think I Will Win By Knockout For Sure

[Roberto Vasquez]

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 been 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 his challenge for him.

Anyone who analysed 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.

Just look at the number of top-10 fighters Parker has fought. How many top-10 opponents has Zhang fought ? ONE.

Add to that that Zhang will retire within 2 years.

I'm not saying Parker will definitely win. It is a hard fight but I pick him to win. I never jump on unproven fighters just because I like them or because they have huge power - which most people on this forum do. I go by proven track records. And 8 times out of 10 I am right.

If Zhang does win this fight - I'm sure I could pick him to win the next fight against a top guy but until then I go with the guy with experience, the guy who lost and had to change and fix his flaws and that is Parker.

Also got to respect Parker for taking ALL fights he gets offered. He doesn't run from anyone. He walked in against Wilder with 100% confidence. No fear

Zhang is competent boxer and made of iron. Parker is faster but smaller. I think we see a Parker SD.
