Derek Chisora vs Joe Joyce is set to headline the O2 Arena in London on July 27

To be fair Haye hits as hard as a mule kick. If you don't carry serious power you ain't knocking Chisora out.

 

Two dinosaurs from the Jurassic age, I'll go with the younger dino Joyce

 

Haye was still a cruiser weight and according to so many people here who love to use the term super heavyweight. You can't have power unless you are 6'5 plus and overweight.

In any case Fury and Parker still aren't known for being big punchers. Joyce has only knocked out 1 fighter of notte and Daniel Dubois a guy known for having a questionable chin.

Joyce isn't anything special and neither is Chisora. I would say Joyce should still win if Joyce has anything left after being stopped twice by Zhang.

 

What's it got to do with Hearn?

 

Joyce by KO.

 

If there was a fight which a poster child for that it would be this. If Chisora was a bit younger and less brain damaged I would probably actually favor him here. Too tough, durable and would eventually find the right sequence of shot/s to get Joyce out of there.

 

Joyce is just treading water at this point, and I don't think there's enough time left in his career for him to ever get a title shot.

Usyk will soon be stripped of the IBF belt which will go to the winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois on June 1.

AJ will likely take on the winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois in September, and he'll likely win the IBF belt.

Fury vs Usyk II in October.

Another fight for undisputed, this time between AJ and the winner of Fury vs Usyk II (assuming no rubber match) in Spring 2025.

If the 2025 undisputed champion is Usyk or Fury, either of them would likely retire at that point. If it's AJ, he'll probably stick around because he'd still have a few more decent years left in his career.

If it's Usyk or Fury and they retire, then the belts get splintered and MAYBE Joyce gets a shot (at nearly 40 years old), IF he can make waves in the interim, which is unlikely.

 

Excited for this fight

 

Precisely this.

Joyce looked pretty awful against Gash Ali of all people.

Joe's very slow, extremely limited defensively and simply looks to outlast opponents and trade as much as possible... Which is questionable even with an iron chin - but once that iron is cracked, it's hard to tell just how much it can take.

This is an interesting one, moreso than many seem to have it - Chisora's not afraid to fight, not afraid to get hit and he can bang pretty hard... Joyce would have to eat a bunch of nasty overhand rights to grind him down - can he take that anymore?

Delboy should be retired - but if he's desperate to test himself in fights he's not hopeless in... He could pick worse.

 

Jurassic Joe Vs Derek Chisorasaurus

Love it.

 

Joyce is bad.

Chisora is worse.

 

Why in the world is Chisora still fighting? Jokes aside, his cognitive skills have already clearly deteriorated. He has as many losses alone as Usyk, Joshua, Kabayel, Fury, Parker, Dubois, Anderson, Hrgovic, Zhang, and Joyce put together (no, I'm not kidding or exaggerating – these ten have a combined total of 13 losses, just like Chisora alone). Why would anyone want to watch him, and why would anyone want to fight him? Pointless bout.

 

It's a Frank Warren show, but your point stands.

 

Couldn't care two ****s for this one, delboy needs to pack it in, the law of averages will catch up with him and he will never be able to reverse the damage he may be inflicting on himself.

 

Chisora is so used to concussions that he probably feels weird not having one.
