Zhang with the upset of the year and the KO of the year. May be the heavyweight of the year.

    I don't really know what people mean when they say Zhang is bad matchup for Joyce.

    Joyce can't box for ****, is very slow and isn't a power puncher.

    If anyone faster than him is bad matchup for him...

    And anyone who can outbox him is a bad matchup for him...

    and anyone with power is a bad matchup for him...

    What the **** is a good matchup for him? People with no speed, no power and who can't box? A.K.A, trash opponents? Lol. I really don't get it.

    Seriously, any Joyce advocates reading this thread, what high level opponent archetype is a GOOD matchup for Joyce?

    I'm a bit worried about my boy miniq here. He's getting more desperate by the day to keep Fury somehow relevant.

    Zhang would splatter that tiny, barely-even-literate Gypsy brain all over the canvas though so Big Bang is yet another fighter who suddenly became just "a foreigner nobody knows or cares about, nobody wants to see me beat him" type of guy. In 48 hours, the whole Fury herd will talk about how Zhang is not worthy to fight Fury. The Morecambe Duck will do what he does best: keeps ducking anyone with a pulse while talking about how he would beat them all. All talk no walk, the Fury way of life.

    Heavyweight is dire at the moment. Joyce may very well be top 5

    What upset ? He was not a underdog in the books, moderate underdog at best... this was no upset.

    At best, if we are being very generous he’s 5th. At best. Fury, Usyk, AJ and Zhang are all clearly above him.

    So 5th at best. In a dire division.

    Plenty on here trying to convince us that Joyce is some sort of freak athlete. In reality he’s just another a fringe contender in an awful era.

    Guys like Joyce are a dime a dozen.

    I'm with you. I expected Joyce to lose. The hype around him was irrational on this forum.

    I thought Joyce would win because of his speed

    Oh, completely forgot about this fight, until I saw the headlines this morning.

    Good on Zhang, I'm off to watch it on Youtube.

    That's basically the end of the line for him. He rolled the dice and lost.

    If his chin's cracked he might as well retire, since that's a huge part of his game.
