    I stopped reading after fast hands... He is slow as molasses.

    But obviously heavy handed. More like old George Foreman.

    So he's not elite, but could beat a guy who arguably had a draw against Anthony Joshua?:lol: If he could beat both, that means Joyce for this so so division, is among the elite.:deal:

    Joyce is a monster, the first Brit Heavyweight I've seen in quite sometime that truly impresses me. I concur with everything @f1ght3rz wrote, he's spot on.

    Joshua has been a scared ***** since Wlad gave him PTSD. I still had him beating Parker easily and clearly. Parker sucks.

    :lol: The first part couldn't be more right, but you're underrating Parker and his performance a little IMO. Oh well, no big deal.

    His hand speed is about average, but his body movement is exceptionally good. Calling him "slow as molasses" makes you look a fool.

    Definitely. A lot of people severely under estimating this lad. Why people insist that a heavy must have fast hands to be at the top is beyond me. Vitaly Klitchsko, Lennox Lewis, Rocky Marciano, George Foreman, none of them had very good hand speed yet dominated the division in their time. When you have the work rate and size of a Joyce or Miller, hand speed doesnt matter so much as they take their fights into other dimensions. Joyce most definitely is a juggernuat. Big strong lad. Excellent skills, excellent work rate/pressure, very awkward capoeira style movement. Hes ready to step into the top 10 today given the opportunity, and he knows it. Could easily fight for a title in less than 10 fights. I rate Joyce better than the former amateur stars/prospects as with his style, hes already ready to challenge the top heavyweights.

    he better have a great chin, because he has zilch for defense. lets see what happens when guys quit taking dives for him.

    That’s not very old,say if he’d been pro from his early twenties you’d probably say he’s in his prime.
    Get what you’re saying though,which is why they need to step him up as I think that was the plan for him going the short route as appose to the tried and tested long game.

    He’s 32! Hardly a prospect from an age point of view.

    Not me,he’s a huge lad so he’s never gonna be overwhelmed or bullied and for such a big guy he has surprising deftness,I’ve no reason to think he couldn’t hang with a Breazeale or even a Miller.
    His next opponent has to be someone better though as these one,two round knockouts aren’t really doing much for him.

    Yeah hard to call someone a prospect at that age,probably couldn’t do this in any other division.
    Lots of U.K. HWs to have a go at such as Price,Chisora,Hugie Fury,Dave Allen and then obviously Tyson Fury,AJ,Whyte and Dubois so the future looks good for someone wanting to make money and do well.

    evgeny romanov. both are 32 and need to step it up quickly. i think it would be a good fight and tell us if either or both can go anywhere.
