    His punches aren`t slow, he is a very good combo puncher, most heavies in the 90`s weren`t good at slipping shots and his gas tank is insane.

    AJ is a better combo puncher, and punches faster than a glacier unlike Joyce. AJ sparks him inside 8.

    I didn't think it was a particularly good performance either, and I don't buy that he was just fighting to the level of his opponent. There were times when he looked like he was trying to slip shots and failing, and you don't do that if you're just relentlessly focussed on walking through your opponent. Congrats on him for getting the stoppage on a guy who usually goes the distance, and I don't expect we'll see the same lacklustre performance next time out (providing the opponent is of a higher calibre) but I think there's a bit of apologetics going on with Joyce in the aftermath.

    Joyce doesn't flinch at all. Some of the shots Hammer caught him with were nasty.

    Your choosing a really funny hill to die on here mark...Joyce is extremely slow...and I haven't seen him in with anyone at all to test his gas tank because his competition is crap.. because the heavyweight division...is crap....Joe Joyce is just not good....the fact he's probably a top 5 heavy speaks volumes about the state of the heavyweight division....and you've got idiots on this forum saying he's this generations foreman....he's closer to this generations foreskin

    Joyce`s combos are better than AJ`s and he`s got a better hook specifically to the body, a punch AJ rarely throws.

    Joyce`s punches are very good and he`s a smooth finisher.

    To be honest he took a number of big shots from Dubois, his best win. Watch it back. He shouldn't really be doing that

    I agree he fights to the level of his opponent but he took a number of clean big shots from Dubois

    Most of those shots didn`t land clean, his movement was better v Dubois, his weight was the second heaviest of his career for this fight v Hammer.

    No need tot take time and set traps when you know you can crush the opposition.

    He came forward and threw safety out the window. He didn’t look spectacular from a boxing standpoint yet he destroyed Hammer from the second round until the stoppage with raw power and his relentless attack.

    But as you say they do this , ie GGG against Brooks, he just walked into him which made Books look better than he is...poor really not giving the opponenet the respect...
