Was Joyce's Chin Overrated Or Is Zhang Just That Powerful ?

I disagree on your scoring, but fact of the matter is that fight was competitive and close, and rematch worthy, but that time has passed. But Usyk mandatory isnt called, and if by any chance Fury-Usyk happens, Hrgovic will have 2 options, Zhang remtach and AJ (which Eddie mentioned).

Those 2 carry the division right now, the best thing would be if Zhang attacked Fury and Hrgovic-Usyk, then unify.

 

It's not that Joyce's chin is overrated, but Joyce is also overrated as a boxer. For starters, AJ, Wilder, and Hrgović would beat him. And the list doesn't end there.

 

Fury won't fight neither. He is going to have another stinker after Ngannou. You can mark my words on that.
Usyk next 2 fights are going to be Hrgovic and Zhang, if he beats Hrgovic.

 

Fury should have been stripped long ago.

 

It won't happen, as WBC is beyond corrupt and it's obvious Warren pays them. They also get 3% off Fury fights, so why would they strip him ?
At this point there is only 1 Undisputed Champion and that's Usyk. Fury is just a pretender with a paper belt. WBC should not be considered a major belt by anyone.

 

Look, it could be worse-imagine Wilder as a champion, guy had 10 defences against nobodies

 

Joyce’s chin was very good but when you fight like him and his biggest assets were his durability and size advantage over most opponents, It was inevitable to see it tested against a larger and harder punching opponent. The thing I’ve noticed through the years is guys with a good chin who once knocked out or staggered badly usually it is indicative of the armor peeling back and their punch resistance starting to diminish. Joyce will not be able to fight big punchers or he will get stopped more often.

His durability expiration date has arrived.

 

The KO punch was a right.

 

It was a right hook from a southpaw stance. Not a conventional right hand. A right hook from a southpaw comes from an unusual angle. Nothing like a straight right.

 

Zhang was putting punches together and landing clean n the second and third. The stoppage hook was lights out on most chins. I'm actually impressed Joyce got back up so people like Froch saying his resistance is gone are wrong. A guys who's chin is gone is Dubois.
