    I rate Joyce, begrudgingly.

    I thought he was trash as I had never seen such slow punches in my life, even for a heavy weight he looks like hes underwater at all times. I watched his win with my girlfriend and said (having picked Dubois) watch this guys punches, they are the slowest you will ever see. She agreed and knowed nothing about boxing questined why is he so slow, what is up with him?

    He went on to win, I knew that jab was weighty but I thought Duboius would win.

    Joyce made a fan out of me, to make a style work where you are so physically slow is impressive.

    This leads me to my question, many ask whos punches where fastest, and whom possesed the hardest punch. But mine is..

    who is the slowest you have ever seen?

    Carl Froch comes to mind though Arthur Abraham made him look like SRL, Foreman too was very slow and his pitty pat punches were to lull the fighters into a false sense of security before he mixed a hard shot or two to rattle their bones.

    Joyce is probably as good as you can get for a man of his speed.

    He could easily solely rely on his chin and barrel forward but there is a little more method to his madness

    Sneaky timing and punch selection but still is happy to stay on the outside against men the same size as him.

    Relative to his division he's quite slow, not Joyce levels but you get it.

    Joe always reminds me of that dream when your in a fight and you throw a punch and it’s in slow motion and takes forever to get there.

    Ustinov was pro KBer who started to fight as a pro boxer late, damn he really is considerably older than uncle Povetkin.
    Valuev always was slow but people are remembering him from his latest fights when he was 35-36-37 y.o and with very serious joints problems. Then he turned from really slow to damn slow fighter like turtle and these were his latest fights.

    Agreed about Foreman but that was just the older, return from a 10 year layoff Foreman. During his first career he had relatively decent hand speed for a big guy.
