    It will be a crime if Zhang doesn't one day fight for the title.

    Can you inagine what it would look like if Zhang fought for all the belts?

    All of China behind him. Would be one of the boggest sporting events ever

        He has to earn it and needs to deal with Parker if he gets past Wilder. Then AJ and then deserves the shot, so never happening.

          Yea, if someone slow fights against him, it will definitely be like fighting in a bog. Or swamp. Or marsh. Or fen. They will wallow in that mire. Or moor, you name it.

            Here's the thing with Zhang: He could be a lot slower. He gets criticized for his speed (or lack thereof), but for his size, he actually moves considerably well; at least until he begins to run out of gas.

              Maybe Zhang can fight winner of josh v ddd/flip. But how old will Zhang be by then, nearly beating George foreman 43 years old

                Never going to happen. He could have been in Hrgovic's position, and about to fight for a title. He could have been in Parker's position (which in reality still isn't that close to a title fight).

                He just wasn't good enough.

                  All four belts? That would have to be vs. Usyk shortly after Fury.

                  Zhang is past his best. He is the first Chineese heavyweight , or first Asian to be ring magazine top 10 ranked or Box Rec top 10 ranked. That is very unique legacy.

                    If he beats Wilder, could see him face AJ in September for sure.

                    No title, but a huge fight.
