    Too old? But the younger man compared to Zhang. What's Zhang then if Joyce is too old? Should Zhang now retire, lol.

    Boxing at heavyweight is more about miles on the odometer than time on the clock. He still has a two year window imo (spoken by a guy his age lol)

    He’s obviously past his athletic/physical peak, a good few years past it, but as a plodding SHW he should have plenty left in the tank career wise.

    He started his pro career late, but his problem wasn't his activity - for 6 years he has 16 fights, while Usyk has 20 fights for 10 years, for comparison. Joe's problem is he never changed or improved.

    Joyce should have made him move more and just peppered him with the jab until round 6
    Don't trade with a hard hitting southpaw
