Incredible Performance By Joyce

You look at the current state of the top 10.
I genuinely believe Dubois is better than the likes of Ortiz and Ruiz, maybe even Hrgovic who has been a massive let down, on another night his eye socket might have not shattered and we would have had a very very close decision win for Joyce

 

Joyce still has 3-4 years left at this level I think, his style ages very well

 

I don't see it, he's big, powerful but also predictable and has no defence. I picked Joyce to beat them when they fought because I don't see anything special about Dubois other than power. He skill set is very basic.

I'd favour Hrgovic to beat him, I'd even pick Zhang to beat him. Ortiz he could possibly beat, simply because he's so old now but Ruiz Jr might beat him. I think the way Ruiz counters could cause Dubois problems, Dubois would unload but then get caught and I can't see Dubois winning on the back foot as he clearly can't fight going backwards.

 

It's the kind of style that can come unraveling all at once.

 

Yeah he doesn't require the speed of other fighters for his style

He can be champ in his 40s for sure imo

 

We've all been talking about 'Undisputed' this last month or so, but the term's applicability to Fury-Usyk is really only ostensible, nominal. The victor will have immediate business to attend to. Joyce cannot be ignored, has to be dealt with.

It was always obvious that Painterly Joe would gatecrash the heavyweight top table if he could lure a credible established name into the ring with him. In the nick of time, Parker stepped up and granted him the opportunity to announce his viability as a doubter to the Fury-Usyk hierarchy, and I'm glad of it. Makes things much more interesting.

 

Joyce seems very sturdy, almost george foreman-like. I'd like to see that chin tested against someone like Deontay Wilder.

 

Joyce fought well against Parker and he looked a lot better than in the Hammer fight. I even saw Joyce slip a punch! Will wonders never cease? I was surprised by how well he did against Joseph. I sure hope he gets to fight for a legitimate title soon.
