    Zhang is the perfect opponent for Deontay Wilder

    Stationary, immobile, big target. Zhang has skills but I see this pheonotype match-up as very favorable to Wilder and the only unknown is the motivation level.

    If Wilder really wants it, he should be able to best this giant Asian

        Wilder is also the right opponent for Zhang. Wilder has no skills, no inside game.

        I think Wilder is more washed up than Zhang.

          I see zhangs straight left being kryptonite for wilders leaky defense when pressing the action. For me the winner will be whoever lands first.

          Wilder could end up being 6 feet 7 inches of kung pao chicken to zhang

              Leaky defence against pressure fighting. If zhang goes swarming I'll eat my shoes

                I've never seen a man that powerful fall to bits like wilder does once that pressure begins.

                  Another terrible take. Swarming is not the same as pressure fighting. Ortiz is probably the biggest puncher that Wilder has faced. Zhang is a whole different animal. Wilder gets hit flush in every single fight. He pulls back in a straight line, and is predictable in his footwork. The question is whether he can land his Hail Mary punch and what effect it will have on Zhang. He's got to make it out of the first 6 for Zhang to start slowing, and Zhang has very underrated defense.

                    Ortiz is a Cuban Zhang. And Ortiz got two chances with Wilder with the same result
