    The man mountain Joe Joyce is determined to knock out the much smaller Joe Louis. "This cruiserweight has nothing for me" Joyce says at the press conference. The 6'6 280 pound Joyce emphasizes the word cruiserweight.

    Joyce is just too hittable for Joe, though I think his significant volume would present a threat for however long he’s in there for.

    Not just to hittable, but far far to slow.

    he's a clumsy looking fighter, with a Chris Eubank swatting punch, poor, poor awkward stance & movement, mind you I haven't seen him for 2 years, but when I did, I despaired!

    That just makes him a bigger target.

    This won't be pretty.

    In fairness, you have to ask what might have been, if Joyce had got into the sport much earlier.

    6'2 197-207 pounds vs 6'6 280 pounds. Lots of slow singing and flower bringing
