    His slowness is also somewhat deceptive as he can break out of his rythtym quite unpredictably at times - whilst he may well be too slow for a master like Usyk, he poses quite a challenge for any of the other top 10 heavies IMO.

    Really looking forward to the Parker fight, where I think the Juggernaut will be the 1st guy to stop Parker.

    He's actually surprisingly agile. He did a capoeira kick after one of his fights.

    It’s the way of boxing, especially with heavyweights.

    People jump on bandwagons and hop off when they get exposed.

    Even though he won, a lot of people who said Flip Hamburgers was the next big thing now have quietly moved on after his fight with that Zang guy.

    Joe really hasn’t done a lot, but he hasn’t been exposed … yet.

    Let’s be honest all Joe Joyce is, is a slow plodding heavy handed guy with a good beard. The only reason he’s talked up like he is is because it’s a weak division and everyone wants massive paychecks these days. Does anyone honestly think Joe would have competed with a LL, or a Vitali, or a Wlad? Supposedly Fury and AJ boxed circles around him in the gyms. Look personally I like Joe and wish him well but let’s be honest he is extremely limited.
