    I tip my hat to a spirited defence and good knowledge of pre War British Heavyweights but I still can't swallow these choices Jack.

    I think you're missing the point Mark. For Bruno v Wilder see Bruno v Smith.

    How the **** do you know this and we’re talking about Bugner-Wilder not ****ing Bugner-Fury?


    Among your (myriad) of annoying traits is speaking in absolutes when you don’t actually have a clue and are only speculating and then also going off on a tangent not relative to what’s being discussed in the first place.

    I’ve tried giving you a chance Mark but you’re close to going in the too hard and too ****ing annoying basket with me.

    Joyce could very well steamroll Wilder and hits harder than Fury. So he could take Wilder out.

    Dubios doesn’t look very special to me.

    What a surprise....a heavyweight fight ends in a stoppage......naturally the one on the loosing end is now a bum, should retire and even Longshoreman drunks from a century ago would beat him.......the haters finally found a fighter in Wilder who lost so they can unload on him with their "knowledge" while not even knowing how to wrap hands and fancying a 50 inch beer gut.

    FMJ received the same hate despite being the best fighter of the last 30 years and they could not wait for him to loose but he never did.....they could not discredit him with skill so they refered to IV's crooked judges and "cherry picking"....being "afraid" and ducking...still today......

    So those never achieving anything Arm chair pistoleros have the perfect pray in Wilder......but I have a question, is spitting your mouth piece out and quit a patent trade marked by the Bodybuilder ?

    Joyce has a good engine but not top end power, he is also slow of both foot and hand.I've see a few of his fights from ringside including the Jennings one, if Jennings could hit Joe would have been in trouble.
    He gets caught square on and is not hard to hit, Dubois has a very heavy jab and good power in both hands, and he is learning to vary his punching now ,going to the body more often.He is still only a kid Joyce is 35,time is not on his side.
    Joyce would be stopped by Wilder because he is there to be hit he has no head movement and doesn't know what a feint is. Fury was not there for Wilder's return fire and feinted Deontay out of his socks on occasion.

    Joe Joyce reminds me a bit of Ray Mercer both in style and the fact that they both turned pro at a older age ( more so in Joyce's case) If Joyce proves to be as tough and resilient as Mercer, he could have more of an impact than people think but time definitely isn't on his side.

    No doubt that is why they have taken the Dubois fight.

    Stop projecting you p1ssy little sook.

    You bigged up Wilder for months and he got totally exposed as badly lacking in basic fundamentals and being a total one trick pony., now your throwing aspersions everywhere and at everyone because you’ve been made to look a total gullible sap for buying into Deontays hype.

    Deontay is tall and hits very hard with the right hand but he’s very beatable and many have suspected this for a very long time. You couldn’t see this but that’s your lack of boxing knowledge showing and no reason to have a big dummy spit. Deontay isn’t anywhere near as good as you (and others) trumpeted, deal with it.

    The scorecards are the scorecards Mark.

    I suggest you look them up.

    Fury is far more skilled and powerful than Carnera was, and Wilder has a far better chin than Carnera did, Primo was much slower than Fury and Wilder, no comparison at all. I meant you said Holy was a blown up light heavy/cruiser, what I was saying is that while he was at heavy nobody weighing 175 could have stood toe to toe with him and at heavy he would have stopped Spinks and Foster if they went toe to toe wityh him, he could have taken Frazier and Ali`s shots better than Foster did and took Tyson`s shotrs far better than Spinks did, his body at heavy was far stronger than Spinks or Fosters, Spinks body looked soft at heavy compared to Holy`s strong muscular body, he bullied Tyson in the clinch when they met.

    Okay, but Frank was catching `spoon all night and the whole of Britain thought he wa well ahead at the time of the stoppage.
