    George Foreman was big against fighters from the 70's. He's small compared to Joyce.

    Joyce by TKO.

    Joyce walks through 70's Foreman

    270 pounds of lean muscle.

    AJ looks like a bloated roid monster when he gets to 250...now shrunk back to 240 which is what Joyce weighed 10 years ago & he looked skinny at that weight.

    There is only one man who Fury checks under his bed at night for and that's Joe Joyce.

    I suspect George would make fans think differently about Joyce's chin.

    I fancy Foreman to explode that chin.

    Obviously Joyce...because...in foreman's era, they were barely more technical then cavemen, and only ate garbage. :bananaride

    War and desolation. I reckon they turn the ring into a battlefield of ash and dust, which no puny outboxers would be able to energize for a long time after.

    Foreman is smaller, but at the same time has that absolute ATG power, dominating jab, and contrary to popular belief good reflexes and decent speed: sufficient to sustain his very active long guard. Even at that age I see him as the better boxer (despite Joyce being an accomplished, clever fighter in his own right), but the crushing power is where I start to favor Foreman, Joe being a little bit too hittable, despite having a solid defense when he needs it.

    Joyce's engine could be his triumph card, should he manage to endure Foreman's power and take it to the cards. If he takes some of the early rounds (I believe George would take the points early on given his jab, ever underrated defense, and faster hands), and George falls off as the championship rounds approach, he might start leading on the scorecards. Then again, Foreman never struggled stamina-wise bar the high humidity, high temperature arenas without modern tech.

    Size is in Joyce's favor, but the reach difference is negligible. Should Joyce try to clash in an all-out war then we get a repeat of Foreman-Lyle with the stadium there to enjoy the fireworks. Whether Foreman's power would crack Joyce's chin --- who knows.

    Can’t call it. But if pushed I would go Joyce.

    Foreman would KO Joyce with his no defence.

    Joyce ain't fought a world level puncher yet, let alone an ATG puncher.

    Big George connects early and often and batters the game but outgunned Brit en route to a late TKO.

    70's George Forman goes through the bloated Brit like a blowtorch through butter and gets a KO inside 4 rounds.

    Love it. People actually picking foreman.

    Oh you rose tinted goggled hedgehogs even claiming Joyce has no defence? what compared to Foreman? So very cute.

    Joyce is a 6'6" 270 pound titan.

    This is not a 220 6'3" heavyweight.

    This is the new breed. 50 POUNDS HEAVIER. LEAN MUSCLE. BIG CORY. 12 ROUND GAS TANK.

    and you shall KNEEL BEFORE THEM

    ALL HAIL FURY, JOYCE AND ZOD
