We can see that a lot of boxing fans argue, about who is the best boxer by just beating one guy, or two guys. I want to know, who is the best among - Parker, Joyce and Zhang. Parker beat Zhang, Joyce KO Parker and Zhang KO Joyce. After Joyce beat Parker, everyone was saying that he was a problem for any boxer, after he lose to Zhang, nobody is talking about him. how to decide who is the best and why ? If everything comes to just styles, why are we so sure that certain boxer is the best, just because he beat one or two styles ? What if Parker never beats Joyce ? What if Joyce never beats Zhang ? And Parker can always win against Zhang ?
Shhhhh, this is a taboo topic, "boxing fans" got almost every single fight wrong from Usyk-Joshua to Wilder-Parker and especially Joe Joyce vs Zhang. EDIT: * in quiet wishpering fashion: I am willing to bet most of the Top 10 beats Tyson Fury, but shhhhhhhhh that is blasphemy, he is number 1, uppssss number 2 and we strongly pray he does not ever face Top 10 contender ever again
I think Parker is better than Joyce overall due to the fact he can be more competitive against the top 10 Heavyweights and is a more well rounded boxer. Yes Joyce is a bad style match up for Parker but I still don't think he does as well vs Parker against big punchers for example. Joyce only knows how to fight one way and if you've got the power to crack his chin then Joyce is done for.
But what if Joyce style is that one style that can beat him. It Joyce deserve to be above Parker, just because he can beat him ? For example, Parker is the champion and he beats everyone, but only Joyce can beat him and become a champion, how do we rank them ?
