This was done a few months ago, but before the Chisora fight, seeing if opinions have changed. Who wins this matchup?
No. Joyce isn't the same fighter since the Zhang losses. Joyce, the best version, stops Grant. Joyce has the better chin. There is nothing Grant can do here.
Prime for prime I'd expect Joyce to outlast the initial power of Grant to wade in and melt him..................Joyce would win because his chin was better. That's really the beginning and end of this fight.
Grant had a Chin made of complete paper mache. Joyce wins this one easy based solely on the Chin alone.
i dont think people understand how bad joyce really is, because of how bad his contemporaries are as well. he really is a terrible boxer, in the context of top 5 talent. only reason he got as far as he did, is because hes tough as rawhide and his opposition werent good enough to time a slow as molasses guy who dont move his head. i like joyce as a man. i think hes a genuine and stand up guy. but hes not a boxer.
Grant had some good wins early in his career but I don't think his chin would hold up against Joyce's pressure.
