    Great comparison.
    I agree a 250 pound penguin, I also compared him to an old hippo. Still very dangerous & wiley

    I think JJJ will steamroller him but I wish he'd stop being so reckless.

    I get what you're saying.
    Wilder was possessed in the rematch. Joyce might clock Bermane out cold I agree but Bermane broke Arreola's nose really bad. If Bermane still shows that timing & accuracy face first Joyce might get flattened.
    Did Hanks Break Joyce's nose?
    Idk if Bermane has shot legs? This will be a brutal fight imo

    No I don't think Hanks broke JJJ's nose

    I think JJJ will blast him out of there early, Stiverne has fought once in over 3 years and that was a KO1 loss and he's got 6'6'' and 260lbs + of man mountain with anvils for fists coming at him

    He’s not a master of mind games FFS! he’s a disrespectful nobody running his mouth from a position of relative safety. He made himself and by association Jo Joyce look like tools!

    There is no greater testament to his mastery of mind games than the amount of feathers he manages to ruffle and he's obviously managed to ruffle yours as well.

    Exactly, he already has a legion of haters despite the fact that nobody knew who he was a couple of months ago. I'm just going to buckle up and enjoy the ride because I get the impression it's going to be a blast riding the Sam Jones Express.

    You are right.

    It was Wilder's 39th win, thats how trash his resume is.

    How many here actually believe Stiverne was once very good, and how many think this version will have more as a puncher's chance against JoJo?

    I think he was a solid fighter when he was beating Arreola. Arreola was always a gate keeper level fighter and Stiverne showed he was at least better than that, I'd rate him above guys like Kevin Johnson, Amir Mansour, Washington, maybe not as good as guys like Chisora and Takam.

    He had skills in his prime, was a decent counter puncher, good power, decent at mid range, but he had poor movement and was too small with a short reach. He would of always struggled with bigger, taller heavies. Don't think any version of him beats Wilder or even Joyce.

    Sam Jones reminds me of the classic villain who has a towering silent Henchman in Joyce to do their dirty work. Like Cersei and the Mountain.

    To be fair, the manager is only bringing the heat because Joyce is the least charismatic human ever born from his mother.
