    Zhang was an underachiever. He never won or fought for a World championship title. While Wilder on the other hand, won the WBC Heavyweight crown and defended it a total of ten times.

    A feat that was only replicated by Muhammad Ali. I must admit that your very weird and strange obsession with Deontay Wilder is a bit creepy and spooky!

      A better hypothetical question would have been who wins in their prime; Zhang vs Wilder?

        I believe that Wilder's last two performances should be omitted from the record books. Since he was no longer the same fighter after the Tyson Fury trilogy.

          Wilder was just a shell of his former self when Zhang defeated him. By that time Deontay was already a ruined fighter. A prime Wilder would have whupped Zhang's ass clean.​

            I give Zhang his credit. He got the W. All I am saying is that he defeated Wilder while he was on the downside of his career.

            However history is not going to record that. It would go down in history as a victory for Zhang and l can accept that result. It is still a win so congratulations to him.

              The Fury trilogy and the worst trainer ever Malik Scott ended Wilder. He fought Zhang like he was terrified, that was never what Wilder was about, sama against Parker. Parker and Zhang beat a shadow of the Great Wilder. Wilder is far better than both. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

                Wilder and fury can't have been that good to allow one fighter to take so much out of them. Fury hardly took much punches.

                  Wilder actually had a belt and actually defended it ( agaisnt bums) lol. I mean you can make an argument he was robbed of the lineal title in the first tyson Fury fight since most referees would had waved off tyson Fury. Not a fan of Wilder either.

                    Zhang was technically superior to Wilder and he beat him when they fought, although it might have been a more competitive fight a few years ago. Wilder might have even beaten Zhang a few years ago. Depends which versions fought, because the lesser version of Zhang was in trouble against Jerry Forrest. The best version of Zhang might be better than Fury too, lets not stop at Wilder.

                      but to be honest, joshua is a much better fighter and more skilled than wilder and zhang.
