Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang Believes He'll Put Anthony Joshua To Sleep

[Wacked_Out]

Andy Ruiz is 6'2", Oleksandr Usyk is 6'3". Torrez has big power unlike those two. I think he can get to the top of the division in a few years.

And Mike Tyson. There are some exceptions but I think he's gonna be more like two steps up from Joey Dawejko. I think he'll achieve more than a guy like Joey based on his olympic pedigree and the push he has, but if he's gonna **** with the bigboys his peaks not gonna last long. Ruiz and Usyk arent seek and destroy like Torrez seems to be.

I see Torrez as a 6'2 meatball. Those little fireplug guys get tore up in the HW division at higher levels.

Yep lol. I like Torrez. He seems like a fun, likeable dude & I'm rooting for him, but I think his ceiling is gonna be around top 10, top 20 if TR keeps moving him well & don't throw him in with a killer before he gets there. I don't see him touching a HW belt or even getting a chance to fight for one. I've been saying since early on he should try to become the face of the bridgerweight division. He's a smaller HW who'd do well there & I could see him fighting for & winning the bridgerweight belt with that division being so thin still.

Zhang would definitely lay that big for nothing aj out. Every body talking about how slow his last opponent was but he was actually moving and circling the ring. Or trying to anyway. Zhang chased him down and caught him with some quicker hands than the haters are willing to admit.

Besides, this is hw. What hw fighter of this generation floating like a butterfly? You mfers really do be reaching for sit to talk about and it's sad.

Jeez every is willing to sh.it on poor old AJ now.

AJ is significantly faster than Zhang. AJ could absolutely dance around 6'8 20 stone man with gigantism.

Zhang needs to prove he can beat a top fight who can actually move his head. He couldn't put Hrogivic to sleep.

Its HW man. A lot of these guys learned boxing from playing rock em sock em robots as a kid.

Zhang is a 40 something dude & he's a top ten guy. He's obviously a bad mfer & can hang with the top guys regardless of hitting ppl with head movement skills or a lack of them. Outside of Fury this whole HW era is a rock, paper, scissors kinda era where a lot of guys can beat each other on any given night.

I think AJ vs Zhang would end in the same way as the Joyce rematch - Zhang would steadily break AJ down with the southpaw backhand before switching his lights off with a monster right hook from outside the line of vision.

This is how I see it also. Zhang's left is quick and accurate and carries thunder (leverage from sound technique). Joshua's footwork is capable but his jab is too basic and slow; Zhang will eventually time it and slip past it to get in range consistently for his power shots. Bad night for Joshua.

There is a difference between what you can do and what you have done and proved. What you can do is still up for debate because you may not be able to do that. And while Zhang may be able to beat a few people in the top 10, I am not sure he will do that to any of the top 5. This thread is about Zhang putting AJ to sleep and I do not see that happening.

Joshua doesn't move his head. Ruiz, Usyk and Helenius were landing at will

He does now and Helenius wasn't landing at will. Ruiz is pre-movement era and Usyk did so because of his skills, speed, and pace of the fight.

Zhang sleeps everyone. How flip survived is anyone's guess. Id like to see wilder v zhang. Can be billed as the battle of the general anaesthetics

I don't think the top 5 is as rock solid as you do obviously. Its a fluid division right now imo.

I also don't have as much faith in AJ as you do. I'd probably pick AJ to win, but I can see AJ sh^tting the bed vs a lot of guys based on how tentative & unsure of himself he's been looking like lately.

Joshua dropped Zhang in the amateurs. He stops Zhang.
