    Call me crazy but Usyk vs Zhang is still the fight I want to see

    Because I'm telling you now, no way does Zhang spend the fight running away on the back foot fannying around, he's going to be center ring the whole time, I want to see if Usyk can chop him down and the threat is there because if Zhang connects with even one left hand it'll be the hardest Usyk's ever been hit.

    I can't think of any other stylistically interesting fight for Usyk at the moment.

    Zhang against anyone is good, he deserves some fights before he calls it a day.
    But usyk should win on points. But if usyk wants reputation as top 10 ever, he needs a more in depth resume and Zhang fits bill.

      Usyk will retire after the Fury rematch I feel

        This would be one of the worst matchups out there. Zhang has notoriously bad stamina and he can't even keep up with Usyk when fresh who will just be cautious until the second half and then drown Zhang with little resistance.

        This is not to **** on Zhang either. I think he's solid and entertaining but Usyk is all wrong for him style wise.

          If Zhang was younger, lighter and with endurance for more than 6 rounds as he is currently, then yes. Now I am not sure this fight would be interesting: true, Zhang is big, strong, southpaw and punches hard with great timing - the risk of hurting Usyk or anyone will always be present but that's all I can see. Then he totally gasses out by round 8 and survives the fight purely on size dominance and inactivity.

            Want to see if fair. I wouldn't mind seeing Usyk play with a lumbering, flat-skulled, troglodytic, cro-magnon **** like Zhang, sauntering around the ring with all the speed of a tortoise myself, but, ya know, there are better fights too.

              I love Zhang. Tough as nails, always goes for the KO and is avoided by the top guys. Killer straight left too.

              This will be leftie vs leftie. Intriguing fight

                Props to Zhang, he makes being stationary look very great and I love him to death, but Usyk would eat him alive. Come on.

                  It would be a good fight for Usyk to get a deeper resume at hw.

                  Zhang is dangerous for 6 rounds, after that he gasses out and loses.

                    Usyk get hit and marked up in every fight he's had at heavyweight.

                    Zhang hits harder than anyone else at heavyweight except maybe Wilder with a full extension right hand.

                    Zhang put Parker down heavily twice with shots that weren't even full power, they were just quick little sneaky left hands. Those are the kind of shots that Usyk does get hit with, he can avoid big loaded up power shots but Zhang doesn't need to throw shots like that to do SERIOUS damage.

                    It's a fight I'd very much like to see and would add to Usyk's resume.
