    Call me fickle but I'm done with Joyce now, big dumb lump, he's made Zhang look like a legitimate killer, he's made Hrgovic look better than he is, he's made Jerry Forrest look decent. That's him done, he's not coming back from this, he's going to need to take time out now and then have two or three fights to try and rebuild but it doesn't matter, the weaknesses have been well and truly exposed and the myth has been busted. That Terminator entrance followed by him getting totally smashed up and stopped is all he'll be remembered for now, the Parker fight forgotten.

    Joshua v Zhang will answer serious questions.

    If he cannot take that fight then Evander Holyfield is planning a comeback.

    I don’t really want to see a rematch to be honest. There are lots of heavyweight contests to be made and we need to see them all.

    I wonder if Warren makes Fury against Zhang next.

    Zhang is 39 though and Joyce should have beaten him though if we are being brutally honest.

    Never liked this fight for Joyce. You could see from his last fight that Zhang was a bad mother******. AJ decision not to fight him was absolutely correct as he probably gets done in a couple of rounds. Not sure Joyce can come back from this. He was hurt early and often

    Usyk and Fury would have smoked Joyce.

    Franklin would beat the **** out of Chisora and was a decent opponent coming off back to back losses.
    Fury fighting Chisora was a complete disgrace.

    Not in a million years. Zhang finishes this version of AJ in a couple of rounds

    Tong Po types are hard as nails.

    Hopefully Zhang gets a well deserved shot at Usyk next or a fight with Joshua in the summer.

    All the US pundits who predicted an easy victory for Zhang were right.

    He hasn’t had many fights though professionally. Zhang has gassed in all his fights previously. Joyce should have beaten him if he was as good as we all thought.

    Even Joshua Joyce next is a fun fight. I expect to see a rematch though.
