    Default Zhang is nearly 42.

    AJ won’t fight him as it’s too risky.

    Fury will avoid Usyk and Zhang and wait for them both to get even older whilst he has a rematch with Francis.

    Wilder is surely available?

    What is Ruiz doing?

    Joyce can fight Dubois and Chisora.

    Fury has one foot out of boxing and the other in show biz.

    He hasn't even turned 41 yet, he doesn't need anymore years added to him.

    He's wbo mandatory now so he'll get a title fight soon ish, maybe it'll be for a vacant belt if usyk doesn't hang around for much longer...maybe it'll be Zhang v hrgovic 2, I doubt there'll be any interesting match ups before his title fight, Ruiz was demanding 10 million to fight wilder.

    Zhang was impressive against Joyce because he was faster, countered hard and wobbled the seemingly indestructible Juggernaut. His style would always give Joe problems.

    Zhang has modified his training and diet so is better than past performances. I hope he gets a chance to win the title or face better competition before he gets too old.

    Zhang is better than Dubois/Parker level. I do think AJ, Fury and Usyk would not enjoy facing him.

    It would be interesting if he faced Wilder or Anderson, I think he beats them.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Do we have any links or proof or evidence of this ? Seems difficult to make such major gains at 40 with "Modifying training and diet"
    or is it just that "Zhang has always been decent, but nobody in the UK gave a fuck about him because he hadn't bowled over a brit?"

    Well... he (Joyce) had beaten a fairly good list of opponents up to that point. So to suddenly dismiss him as a total bum seems a bit "hindsight-ish."

    (Not to mention "Monday morning quarterback-ish."

    How about "Joe Joyce's style is tailor-made for Zhang... and Zhang would spark him 100 times out of 100 any day of the week and twice on Sundays"?

    Would that work?
