And Wilder, who KO'd twice by Fury? And of course JJ got beaten up over the weekend. Gotta say, the heavys are a crap shoot now.
Yeah, the heavys protect themselves and don't fight so often.
Fury I belive beats anyone in the division IF his mind is right. Consistency is key and his main weakness is discipline and motivation, it could cost him, I think he's aware of that these days and is very picky about who and when he fights. Remember Wilder 3 he delayed it and John Fury said it was because he wasn't happy with how camp was going. He almost lost that fight also.
Wilder, we know he has a liteny of technical flaws, but he invariably lands the right hand, Fury is the only person who's been able to take it so far, but for sure there may be others who can.
We need to see the fights.
Would Zhang/Fury be a good fight? I don't hugely rate Zhang, but Wallin troubled him as a southpaw and Zhang does know how to fight. Both are about the same level of hand speed and power.
I think it's a good match up, it has potential to be entertaining but I can also see a situation where fury moves around early, Zhang has a 198cm reach, Fury has 216cm I don't think Zhang has the feet to catch up to fury if he moves, I think it's a fight fury can be comfortable in if he's sensible, I'd like to see the fight though.
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 04-20-2023
Depends on whether Fury fights Zhang like he fought Wilder which would be wrong. Fury ain't pushing Zhang back and does Fury have the legs anymore??
I just don't think Fury wants tough battles anymore and will negotiate his way out of a fight with Zhang then say Zhang ducked him...basically a Fury rinse and repeat
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 04-20-2023
How did Fury fight Wilder? Laying on him? Yeah, he won't do that to Zhang. I think if they fought in China, it would be bigger than the UK, and that's saying a lot. I think Wilder needs to fight Zhang in China and pick up some of the $$$ he left in his previous US fights.
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 04-20-2023
Guess Zhang doesn't want Wilder:

RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 04-20-2023
On Zhang I have heard he has some political heat in China due to not being aligned with the CCCP so a big fight there may not be possible for him

WBA #2 Bakole demolishes Shevadzutskiy
WBA #2, WBC #7, IBF #12 heavyweight Martin Bakole (19-1, 14 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Igor “Hulk” Shevadzutskiy (10-1, 8 KOs) in round three in the Babic-Rozanski co-feature on Saturday night at the G2A Arena in Rzeszów, Poland. Bakole dropped Shevadzutskiy with an uppercut/left hook in round two and then battered him for the rest of the round. The referee waved it off in round three. Shevadzutskiy protested to no avail. Time was :45.

Real Big Baby to headline first fight card
ESPN has announced that they will air Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson (14-0, 14 KOs) against Zhan Kossobutskiy (19-0, 18 KOs) on July 1 in Toledo, Ohio, Anderson’s hometown. This will be the big-punching “Real Big Baby’s first main event. Kossobutskiy Will be making his U.S. debut. He has previously defeated the likes of Johann Duhaupas and Joey Dawejko, so looks to be a step up for Anderson.
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 04-27-2023
Good to see Anderson stepping up
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 04-27-2023
...as JP steps down. Sad that Mr Higgins says that JP has to take fights on offer now, instead of waiting for the big ones.
