    Bakole could literally fight anyone, but it's always Zhang name mentioned, why?
    Like George foreman v Ron lyles!
    Zhang wants title, why make him go through hell?

      Only reason why his name got mentioned

        Yes, but bakole saying everyone ducking him. Not sure it should be Zhang who answers call.
        At least promise Zhang a title fight if he gets past bakole

          I like the Bokole fight better for Zhang than the rematch with Parker. Parker will probably employ the same strategy and tire Zhang out for a decision win. Bakole vs Zhang can be a slugfest while it lasts. Of course Zhang needs a title shot asap and Parker has the WBO interim. Bakole is the hot item right now and a win between Bakole and Zhang could entice the desert Turkey to get them a title shot after

            I love Bakole, I really do, but has he ragdolled anyone Zhang's size? Zhang ain't Jared Anderson. And Jared Anderson clearly ain't Zhang.

            Dangerous AF fight for either guy. I like it. But, I do think Zhang deserves ONE more shot at the Top 5 mix. If he loses, feed him to Bakole and let Bakole enter the mix instead.

              I like that fight if it happens. bakole is top 10 now, he must fight another top 10 guy next.

                Yeah. The Bakole win was an upset. But those in the know knew he was as live an underdog as there has been in a while.
                It was no upset IMo. I expected it. Anderson was top 10, he probably still is, but he was overrated IMo. he struggled badly with a late replacement Martin.

                  Speaking of Superheavyweights, let's not forget The REAL Big Baby Jarrell Miller.

                  We all love to hate him, but against the Joshua Slayer, he just planted himself into title contention...Again.

                  Remarkable comeback.
                  I'd love to see Bakole vs Miller too.

                    Bakole "handled" Anderson's power but if he's thinking of doing something similar with Zhang, it's gonna be an early evening for him. Parker had to get on his bike to survive and he's got a proven chin. Bakole's chin seems stout as well but 280 pound Zhang punches too well I think for anybody's chin. I don't know if Bakole has the temperament to give up ground but I don't see another avenue to a win.

                      I would like to see that. I don't know who wins, but I would pay to watch it. Both men have suspect stamina and would gas badly in the second half of the fight. If I had to put my money on someone, I would say Zhang because in his last fight Bakole paid no attention to defense and came in out of shape. He cannot show up like that for a fight with Zhang.
