    Lol never fails. British (or American for that matter) heavy strings a decent unbeaten streak together, people start saying he'd beat an ATG

    And Foreman wouldn't get exhausted by a monster like Joyce lol? Like I said, I stick by what I said. He would wear Foreman and eventually get him out of there. Foreman didn't have great defense, Joyce is bigger and stronger and can outlast him.

    How many lesser fighters than Parker lasted more than 3 rounds v 70`s George? Parker is known for his chin.

    Joyce looked to be in good shape vs Dubois at 258. I don't see how the weight is useless. And Joyce certainly seems far more capable than the big guys you mentioned from the 1970s so not sure how they are relevant

    Dubois is a slow as well. Any boxer with speed would of moved and tired out any 258 pound fighter. Second you don't know how capable Joyce is since he hasn't really beat anybody. Joe Joyce has to be the slowest so called top level fighter I ever saw. If you honestly think Joe Joyce was more skilled than Roy Williams, Gerry Cooney, Al Jones, ect then maybe you shouldn't be watching boxing. Third I know 99 percent of the guys if not all of them I named from the 70's you never seen fighter. 4th how are the guys I mentioned from the 70's relevant? Because there were tons of 6'5 fighters from the 70's when clueless boxing fans like you and others believe there wasn't.

    Parker would be the 5th best guy who Foreman beat, behind Frazier, Norton, Moorer, and Lyle. And that's being generous Lyle. Dubois might also be the fifth best or better, depending on how he pans out.

    Foreman by destruction inside 4 rounds.Size does not matter against Foreman who is rated second hardest puncher in boxing history and had top 10 chin in boxing history.

    How about no. Pierre Coezter was better than Joyce. What did Joyce prove so far in his career? He beat overrated Joseph Parker and overrated prospect Dubois.I would even put guys like none drugged out Bert Cooper above Joyce. George Chuvalo was better than Joyce, Gregorio Peralta was better than Joyce and would beat Joyce easier than Usyk did. Even Lou Savarese was better than Joyce for crying out loud. He fought way better people in his career so his has lost on his records. Shannon Briggs was better than Joyce. Joyce is a hype job. The moment he faces anybody legit he will be stopped.

    Mike O Halloran and few more guys bigger than him.He knocked them all and I do not think Joyce is better than any of them.

    lol! 90`s Foreman isn`t beating Joyce and neither are any of those fighters you mention here, Cooney had already been knocked out by Spinks when Foreman stopped him, he wasn`t even ranked in the top 10 by that stage.

    Foreman from 90s beat Cooper,Briggs and Moorer and went distance with Holyfield which Tyson could not and Bowe struggled to do.Foreman from 90s is beating Joyce by late KO but prime Foreman would embarrass him.You think that everyone of these were good as Joyce but even that is doubtful since Joyce did not beat any good boxer to prove he would beat old Foreman let alone young Foreman.Who except Spinks every knocked Cooney, and Cooney was on Coke and Booze that night?Do you think Joyce could survive those left hooks from Cooney Holmes and Foreman took?I do not think so.
