The Chinese Heavyweights!
Zhilei Zhang- 20-0-0

Junlong Zhang- 19-0-0

Taishan Dong- 6-0-0 (Inactive, but was a former kickboxer like Jarrell Miller)

Dong is the least skilled. Plus he appears to have stopped fighting and has not been in the ring since 2015.
Zhang is the more superior fighter but with less amateur pedigree than Zhilei it seems, but Zhang aka "The Dragon King" has the more pro-friendly style and has ALL KNOCKOUTS plus a higher quality of opposition- although he has been feasting on blown up cruiserweights for the most part.
I would like to see Zhang face a Joe Joyce, Dillian Whyte or David Price (Since we love to see Price get his block knocked off so much around here).
I think Zhilei should also be a title contender by now- Most of his fights have been in the USA, as opposed to Zhang where all of his fights have been in China. Zhang should be an opponent for the #1 title challenger in any of the organisations and/or named to be fighting Joshua, Wilder or Fury.
But no one talks about them.
Re: The Chinese Heavyweights!
I think the Donger has called it a day after some TV exposure and ho hum fights. Zhelei missed out on a nice November showcase vs Ustinov after visa issues. Michael Hunter stepped in with a great ko and they mentioned a Dec.22 possibility with Hunter and Zhang but nothing materialized???.
Re: The Chinese Heavyweights!
These guys are pretty old, and the guy that fights in America really doesn't look that good at all, I can't for see him having much success he is big and strong though... I do like doing and watch dong anytime I can.. Never heard of this boxer though :S...

Cool. That would have been good for Zhilei.... I would have loved to have seen that.
Is Ustinov overrated? I remember when he was supposed to be the next, big Russian bear. But he is a Jameel McCline of today's era- Just big but no real threat!
Re: The Chinese Heavyweights!
I remember Arum doing a show and it was on box nation but really can't remember if the fighters were any good.
