I know people count out AJ but I still think he is 50/50 against Tyson, Wilder, Zhang, Dubois, and Joyce.
AJ needs to avoid shorter fighters that have decent to good footwork. Those shorter fighters can get in, throw a quick combo with their shorter arms, and get out and away.
Maybe a few years ago he's 50/50. But I dont think he beats any of those people in his current state. Maybe competetive with Joyce and Dubois but against WIlder, Fury and Zhang he getting smacked up

Big Bang Zhang who I watched fight to a fukking draw against Jerry Forrest after knocking him down 3 times is considered a top HW now. Good lord this HW division sucks.:mjlol:
i dont consider him a top HW..but he def put himself on the map as a notable one...shyt i didnt think that highly of him before the forrest fight....he should have lost that fight so all that talk about him really being undefeated is nonsense...BUT dude rebounded to remove the boogieman status of 2 heavies back to back..so his stock is on the rise....in a division where there is a log jam due to politics and bullshyt and inactivity zhang is going to stand out

i just realized as im looking at the fight schedule that canelo-ryder fight is like 2.5 weeks away.....no type of buzz or even an undercard mentioned yet

i also realize it may mess with my VPN usage seeing as i plan on watching tank vs ryan on DAZN this weekend barring any last min changes in location. the shyt may not reset in time for me to use it for canelo vs ryder

Zhang feels like the new Luis Ortiz to me if that makes sense

i can see that in a way.....his best win/performance was KO'ing bryant jennings and it was pretty good at the time...ortiz until he lost to wilder the first time never looked as vulnerable as zhang did
