    Slaughterhouse - I'm weak with the English language, but that's what google translator says.
    Not quite Lewis Vs. Golota 2

    Joyce would have about 30 pounds on Lennox. How in gods name could Lewis win?

    It's OK.

    The words have not yet been invented to describe how much of a slaughter it would be.

    All the nostalgia driven old timers are gonna say Lewis is more skilled, but 30 lbs is a lot. Joyce is a modern, skilled, defensively masterful super duper deluxe Heavyweight, and has nothing in common with oafs like Carnera and Buddy Baer. He's lke a slightly worse but way bigger Pernell Whitaker.

    Lewis is ****ed dude.

    Exactly, and Joyce has all that fast twitch as well. We've got an athlete facing a post farmer plodder from the 90's.

    Of course — Joyce is a prime product of modern training techniques and nutritional science.

    Yeah the 90s were ass, man. Did they even count their macros or take creatine back then ?

    Lewis would win, but peak Joyce would be way more difficult than Mason or whomever the rose tinted crew is fond of.
