Silly statement from Haye IMO. Zhang's 40, and is fighting at his highest weight after running out of gas against Hrgovic. He only went 3 and 6 rounds against Joyce. If Parker is there after 5 rounds, he'll wash Zhang.

50/50 fight. Depends in who implements their fight more effectively. Parker's Wilder win is a little deceiving because Wilder was not pushing the fight. It will be a different story with Zhang. Pressure changes everything.

I'm a little concerned about him coming in so heavy. That's definitely not good for his gas tank.

Exactly this. Wilder barely did anything that fight so it is hard to really gauge how Parker will do. Zhang has a good beard so I think we can rule out a KO there. Parkers best bet is to move in and out all night and hope he gets a UD>

I agree. How can haye say Zhang didn’t run out of gas against Joyce when the first fight only went 6 rds ? I pick Parker by decision.

Good that Haye respects Zhang so much. But he predicted Parker to lose to Wilder? Ouch. Haye might have jinxed zhang, Haye dont seem to be a good predictor of head to heads!

I have Zhang winning this by TKO

Same. I'm thinking he intends to smother Parker, which might not work.

Wilder didn't do anything, because Parker prevented all his actions. 99 % of guys here predicted Wilder to win by a Ko.

Parker deserves all the credit.
