Joe Joyce vs 70s George Foreman

I think they are different types of puncher, but yeah, I think Geoege hits every bit as hard, might even edge it. I'd concede Zhang has better timing, disguises his punches better, and it's the punch you don't have time to react with that hurts ya, but I think brute force for brute force, George is up there

 

Foreman's workrate is a lot higher, but in my opinion Zhang, when he does throw and land clean, is simply shattering. His punches come faster and straighter and he's a lot bigger than Foreman. Seems clear to me.

 

Foreman by KO, Joyce was forced on the backfoot against Dubois and lost to a shot Chisora only the usual suspects will lie to hype this era up

 

See this is a simple one for me. While yes Joyce is way bigger than that George, he’d be an absolute sitting duck for George’s power shots! I don’t think this is a good fight for Joyce at all. I think something in his face breaks or he goes out by the 8th.

Being a sitting duck against Foreman is bad news.

 

I remember Joe controlling that fight with his jab but eating a couple of Dubois big bombs. One of his more 'educated' performances.

 

If Joyce could take Dubois shots no problem he would've tried to plow through him like Miller, we know because he tried it against Chisora and Hrgovic. Joe has a good chin but any bigtime KO puncher is going to have him in trouble

 

I think he knew how dangerous Dubois was and the plan was always to work behind the jab. I think getting clocked a few times was Joe's downfall. He fell in love with his chin and like so many things in life, everything is all right..until it isn't...

 

Exactly, Joyce would be smart to box Foreman, he's not taking that power for several rounds like he did Hrgovic, eventually it becomes too much, I mean Joyce has never successfully walked down a KO puncher has he ? Foreman is not Parker. Jennings had Joyce hurt to the body, so I expect a stoppage for Foreman anywhere from 5-8 regardless of Joes tactics. Dude just lost to an old chisora

 

I picked Foreman earlier man, we are on the same page...
