    Vitali kept the legend going about his ability to take a punch despite his TKO6.

    He had other qualities though and could handle a war, Joyce clearly can't, he just gave in yesterday which was quite sad to see, he knows he has a round to save it and he just continued to do the same thing that got him in that mess.

    Right, he's at a certain level. So? That doesn't mean he shouldn't make as much as he can from the sport. Joyce is what he is. A brave man with a lot of heart but not far off 40 and easy to hit. He doesn't have time to change much. For Joyce it's all about getting pay days now. He's earned them. He'll get big money against the big China man in Asia in the rematch and will get good offers after that to fight back at home helping sell out a ppv and stadium fights. Not everybody can be the number one. Joyce needs to be appluded for giving us worthy fights and staying active. The only big loser from last night's result is one of the elite belt holders who didn't scalp Joyce when he was hot rather than fight Chisora for a 3rd time.

    Spot on. Fury should have made the fight, AJ should have made the fight now its list a bit of shine but I'd still be up for watching them rather than Chisora of Franklin.

    If Fury had of done what the China Man done to Joyce that would have been a win as good as his over Wilder. And that's a fact. It's mental that internet dwellers are shitting on Joyce for actually cleaning out the fringe contenders without even having a belt.

    Earned them? He beat Parker and lost to a 40 year old. Give over.

    Yeah I never said that Joyce shouldn't make as much as he can from the sport, just that as a contender he's totally done, just like Chisora was about 7 or 8 years ago. I've enjoyed his career and I'm gutted that it's gone this way, I genuinely thought he was going to stop Zhang in the second half of the fight and then call out Fury or Usyk, that was all completely turned upside down in the second round and it never recovered.

    Why is every win of Tiresoms his best or 2nd best? Zhang has beaten another prospect in Filip before last night. Big deal. Fairy fans try and turn shyte into chocolate they really do.

    Let's look at facts. Let's look st his run.
    Zhang (Am Star)
    Parker ( Former belt holder in this era. Destroyed him)
    Hammer (A typical Fury level opponent)
    Takam (A proven high level opperatorer at this level. Just beat the Olympic gold medal winner)
    Dubios (Joyce was the bookies underdog here. Destroyed Dubios.)
    Wallish (A typical Fury level opponent)
    Jennings (decent opperator and the man who exposed the aging Wlad.)
    Ustinov. (big old lump fringe man from the previous era. Ducked by Fury.
    Stiverne. (former Belt holder. Possibly Wilder's best win. destroyed)
    Joe Hanks. (Padded american hype job.)

    In this same run. Fury (the man) has fought Wilder and Whyte.... Why people would knock what Joyce has done as a non title holder when the actual champ can't be ****ed to defend his title is beyond me.

    He knew time was running out and he didn't up his game or fight with any kind of urgency which was really disappointing because I was hoping/expecting him to go for it after the look at his eye prior to the stoppage.

    Well he couldn't really have been any busier because he'd spent the previous three rounds throwing the kitchen sink at Zhang (ineffectively). He was also half blind.

    tying yourself in knots bud.. Joshua’s best win is against a 41 year old who was retiring who had been stopped thrice by dross, his second best win is against a 39 year old (so to you that’s 40). His next best win is Parker who he couldn’t even put a mark on his face and Joyce bludgeoned, his next best win is against another 39 year old (so to you that’s 40) haha lol

    I'm glad that Queensberry chose to stream the undercard last night on youtube and I'm glad to see that almost 90,000 watched. Those are pretty good numbers.
