Watched some highlights, looks heavy-handed but hasn’t faced anyone too good just yet. Switches from southpaw to orthodox pretty well. Good power in the right hand for a lefty.

I'd like to see him in with someone we know, perhaps a fringe contender like Hughie Fury, Gerald Washington, Charles Martin, Otto Wallin or Christian Hammer, so then we'll have a clearer idea of his capability.

heavy handed, thudding, crude clubber

should fight someone who is euro or fringe euro level next, like kuzmin or hammer or price

[morm]

Kuzmin, Takam or Schwarz next for him ... perfect

zhan's most recent fight, vs alexis garcia, who is most notable for battering amron sands

zhan's got a bit of a weird style. constant stance switching and squaring up. one of the more committed hw body punchers. euro title level is about his level i think

By the time he stepped up his pro campaign somewhat he was over 30 I didn't think he would quite make contender status (say, the top 15) as his amateur career wasn't really world class. He's done pretty well lately though and now I think he's probably going to end up in the various ABC's top 15. But like others have said, I still don't see him beating a legit top 10. Seems to have a decent chin but his jab seems really slow, the opposite of a "sharp" jab.

fighting duhaupas next week, he's at least been keeping fairly busy by heavy standards with 4 fights in the last year

Unbeaten? More like never beat anybody. I guess Kossuobutsskiy - Duhaupas is a fine match-up, though, to find out some more info about both. Although, at age 41, Duhaupas is pretty much on the way out.
