    I would actually favor Grant. Joyce is slow enough to give Grant opportunities and he would probably also hold his own in the boxing department

    I favour Joyce to win by stoppage. Joyce is more durable and Grant is too hittable.

    Joe Joyce - better chin, better stamina.

    Joyce in his prime wins this.

    Michael Grant was a hype job of the highest order.

    This would be a good fight between fighters of similar size...

    I would agree. Grant is sorta a neo Cleveland Williams in that he looks way better on paper then he was in reality but I'm not a real Joe Joyce believer.

    Michael Grant had glass jaw. Joe Joyce exploits that mandibular fragility and starches Grant sometime before the 5th round.

    A prime Joyce does Grant in under 8 rounds.

    When your main weakness is your chin and durability, then Joyce is a horrible match up for you.
