    He has so much torque at the hips he makes it look effortless.

    Some people are born with power and he definately is blessed with it.

    Probably the best physique too out of all the HWs.

    Don't see the comparison. Joyce doesn't get leverage behind his shots like Foreman did and Joyce's footwork is very wasteful while Foreman's was very efficient. Abel should be able to help somewhat, but Joyce might just be too old, since he's 33 years old with six pro fights, but is levels below Joshua, Fury, Wilder, and even Whyte skillwise. Also, Joyce's chin is untested. Foreman was very experienced when he made his comeback, since he already had over 50 fights.

    they have no point of reference for boxing, they are like kids arguing over which super hero could beat the other. To them a top 10 heavyweight in 1920 is the same as a top 10 heavyweight today. Some of them have no idea what amateur boxing is like today and they have no idea what it means for boxing that the rest of the world is now involved. Those guys still think that knobby kneed, skinny, unskilled fighters from the 30s are the same as Joyce, Joshua, Povetkin, etc. If they have read a boxer's name in a book, the person whose name they read automatically beats anybody who they haven't read about. That's what happens when a person has no idea what they are looking at.
