    Today at the gym we were talking about Beterbievs power, So someone said that he can hurt everybody, HW included. SO I have a question, can he hurt Joyce right now ? or it's too much for him ?

    Yes he can. Canelo a few years ago could've beaten Usyk @201lbs as well

    Oh wait...

    Do you really think Smith could have taken the same amount of shots he took from Beterbiev from Zhang? Smith would get finished by Zhang in two rounds and it would be a one punch KO, Joyce would destroy Smith too, Beterbiev is only 5`11 with a 72 inch reach and no where near as quick as Mike Tyson was, Frazier vwould have destroyed Beterbiev too.

    Joyce is a fair bit easier to hit than Smith though, so I could see Smith lasting longer than a couple tbh.

    Zhang would take a while to get to Smith but would definitely chin him.

    Beterbiev didn't even land any clean power punches, Beterviev hits so hard his jab busted him up and his short fast punches KO'd him.
    If Beterbiev landed something with real authority Smith would have needed that paramedics.

    I think Beterbiev could deinitely hurt Joyce but I dunno about a KO

    Yes it would be felt especially if you let him bulk up but not damage enough to give him some leverage in a fight.

    He hits like a small heavyweight

    I don't think so in normal circumstances.

    Beterbiev has good one punch power but he his heavy hands is what causes damage, he gets his knockouts with accumulation of damage.

    To Hurt Joyce you need incredible one punch power, something that Beterbiev doesn't have

    Not for me. The size is just far too much, JJ is almost 100lbs heavier lol.

    Parker couldn't put a dent in Joyce.....

    The only guys that can hurt Joyce are the elite heavyweights, big elite heavyweights.

    People are getting very carried away now.

    I don't rate Joyce but he'd walk right through Beterbiev.

    Totally different. The question was do you think a LHW can hurt a HW not the other way around.

    Zhang has a far longer reach than Beterbiev so would catch Smith easily, Joyce is far too big for Beterbiev he punches far harder than Smith.

    A very small heavyweight.
