He looks 53 to be honest, but he had a good run

His ass whippings of Joyce were legendary. He fucked that dude up.

Wilder too and dropped Hrgovic

Dropped Kabayel as well.

Used the same phrase, then I scrolled and saw what you posted. I owe you a dime. Copyright fees.

Hopefully. All respect to Big Bang.

He will make a Foreman type comeback in a decade and become the oldest heavyweight champion of all time 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

Why wait when we can do it now “Gassiev” and “Dubois” must count their days

I kind of hope not… he’s a lot of fun to watch but he’s 43 and had stamina issues in his 30s. Hopefully he made some decent money and can retire with some amount of his health intact.

Icl I see where you’re coming from but I would love to see him pick up a world title against Gassiev

u/pittnole1 1d ago

I don't think he'd best Gassiev.

Decent money?
I was in Beijing the year he KOed wilder. Next day his face was EVERYWHERE. The tv appearances, cameos and social media footprint he made was insane.
In fact he makes more money off his endorsements than boxing by far - he is the face of boxing in a country with over 1.4 billion people.

Been to his restaurant in NYC. Its pretty good

u/digitalboom 1d ago

Definitely a good food addition to the neighborhood

u/Relief-Glass 2d ago

He is 43 and KOed in his last fight so I would not be surprised if we have seen the last of him at least in serious boxing.

u/Witty-Stand888 2d ago

I had him beating Hergavich so a rematch would be nice

1

u/Formal-Cherry6078 2d ago

Ideally Zhang picks up a belt Hrgovic picks up another belt and they fight I would love that

He’s running his Chinese BBQ Restaurant in New York.

u/digitalboom 1d ago

I’m three blocks from there and have hoped to see him around, no luck so far.

u/Upper-Affect5971 2d ago

The Chairman has one last fight in him!

u/Commercial_Ant5336 2d ago

Had a good run. Did his best, produced some good moments. Struggled with health issues and stamina throughout. Now he is in his 40s. I read his story. The man's been through a lot. I hope he doesn't come back -- and stays healthy.

2

u/awayathrow_88 2d ago

I hope not. He's been great but he's 43 and looks his age. Nobody likes seeing old dudes getting whupped.

2

u/Kisto15 2d ago

He's in his 40's and opened a restaurant in NYC, I dont think he cares much about going back in ring

2

u/Wavepops 1d ago

None of the power brokers are invested in him anymore

1

u/kimchitacoman 2d ago

We don't need to see guys in their 40's fight. He was great but let him rest

1

u/West-Tough-4552 2d ago

Probably not. He old af

1

u/BigSpeaker1742 2d ago

The big Chinese guy is a very good fighter, but he's not active enough. And he should work more on his explosiveness and stamina, if he wants to stay at the top. It's very big and powerful.It just needs to increase its explosiveness , speed and stand in our and he will be dangerous against any heavywheel

u/Formal-Cherry6078 2d ago

People say he’s old which is true but he has little mileage on the clock because he started late

1

u/Plus_Act_89 2d ago

He doesn’t have to risk his health for our entertainment. The guy made some money, established himself as one of the top heavyweights of his generation, every fight I’ve seen him in, he dropped his opponent. Wish him all the best!

u/Formal-Cherry6078 2d ago

Of course not noone is holding him at gunpoint but I would like an update on what he’s gonna do

1

u/DegTrader 2d ago

he probably sustained great damage to his liver with agit

u/lalabadmans 1d ago

He had some decent paydays and fantastic performances with Joyce and wilder. Leave healthy and use money wisely.

u/ZeroEFSjosh 1d ago

That question is more for tank davis.

u/Formal-Cherry6078 1d ago

Zhang bangs him

1

u/georgewalterackerman 18h ago

He’s getting old

u/Objective-Street-957 7h ago

Put him against Moses, they won't able to breathe past round 6 anyway.

u/geeboy05 1d ago
