The doubters and disbelievers look really stupid now. Yes, he's a beast, a very unique beast at that, and an absolute scholar and a gent outside the ring too. It's impossible to dislike him and anyone who does, as with anyone who dislikes Usyk, is human vermin.
Yeah if you hate Joyce or Usyk then who is there left to like FFS. What else can anyone do? Both elite athletes, killers in the ring, but would help your mum across the road with her shopping. Both are interesting character outside the ring too, I find it fascinating how they can perform in such a brutal arena yet have such refined interests outside of it, and still be such nice guys.
No ducking or dodging from either either. There's really no good reason not to like them and if for some strange reason someone doesn't, they should, at the very least, respect them. Yeah, Usyk loves writing poetry and Joyce loves painting.
This discussion has reached a new level of "Worst Thread ever" and an example that social media has gotten completely out of control people who spread their nonsense and think they know more than boxing experts or are better than some boxers themselves , see "Charlie Zelenhoff" as example its so sad. Listen if people here seriously believe that "Ben Askren" would knock out a prime "George Foreman" then that's just utter nonsense. on television, everyone would make a fool of themselves in front of professional boxers, promoters or moderators with these arguments. And as for Mike Tyson against Joyce. a minority would bet a large sum on Joyce here, he would be the clear outsider with bookmakers etc. , fact
Destroys?? Sure, the fighters obviously aren’t pro’s, but amateur refereeing is nothing short of a joke.
Parker is better than most of the fighters Tyson beat and has a better chin than nearly all the fighters Mike stopped, he`s better than Tillis Green as they were when Tyson failed to stop them and he`s quicker than boneclutcher was.
Bringing the fight to a prime Tyson while being easy to hit and using your head to block is a recipe for disaster. I'm a big Joyce fan now but some Parker shots stopped him in his tracks and spin his senses for a second. I know he's older and started late, but should still try to improve his defense. Absorbing huge shots every fight is cumulative and your chin could eventually give out. Parker is not the the combo puncher Tyson is to follow up jolting shots when he clocked Joyce. I'd like to see Joyce against Ruiz, if Usyk - Wilder fight next, heck even AJ - Joyce would let us know what his chin & defense really could take.
