    Joe Joyce is proof that God is fair.

    Tyson Fury is proof that God is biased.

    He's so slow that it's virtually impossible for his opponents to avoid being hit by literally hundreds of his punches in usually four to six rounds, pummeled into submission and stopped.

    That Kuzmin guy is a bum. Has achieved nothing as a pro. Current Joyce slaughters him inside 6 rounds.

    All day. I think he may be a hype train.

    He looked poor against Hammer, IMHO.

    Since we're basing this on how well he takes punches from heavy handed guys in the amateurs... sans headgear, I think we may already have an inkling.

    What’s his speed got to do with anything? If he keeps winning it doesn’t matter how fast he’s going. Use criticisms like these for when he actually loses. Criticising him for winning is just hating.

    People are still struggling to
    grasp the concept of slow-fast speed.

    If you run a race against someone who is much faster than you but you get to the finish line first how can you be slow?

    If you're slow but you're landing with consistency on all your opponents then how slow are you exactly?

    You can see the punches coming but you can't get out of the way of them.

    Slow-fast speed

    He would easily be one of Joyces top 3 wins(along with Jennings and Dubois) if that happened. Not convinced it would be that easy though.

    Was Andy Ruiz a "gatekeeper level fighter" with his best wins being decisions over washed up Liakhovich and Kevin when he demolished AJ?

    I reckon Joyce's karmic mathematical mantra is.

    less haste = less waste + a methodical non stop pace = more wins.


    When was the last time you ever saw a headless chicken achieve anything?

    It shows how poor Joyce's resume is not how good Kuzmin is.

    Wiffy banter from the OP. Will be funny when Joyce steals the souls of his favorite HWs.

    Virtually any HW who has legs should be able to avoid Joyce's ponderous punches. Old George Forman from the 90s was faster.

    Alrighty mate, list me all the current top 20 HWs you think meet the criteria of having the legs to "avoid Joyce's ponderous punches" and beat him. And I'll chuckle as he knocks them down like he's playing ten pin.
