    Is Joe Joyce a modern day Jim Jeffries?

    I see an athletic, strong, big man with basic skills. But with a good gas tank and with a chin that can absorb massive amounts of punishment.

    Yes. I believe that he just may be. One caveat is that between 96' and 04' Jeff had cleansed the Division, which remains a WIP for the Juggernaut. He impressed the hell out of me last night.
    Strictly as an aside, while Parker gave a great account of himself in a great fight involving two elite big men, Brazeale, Takam, Povetkin, Whyte, Martin, Pulev and now Parker. One by one the legacy of Anthony Joshua unravels.

      - - AJ ducked by a who's who' of top heavies in his American debut, not the least of which were Blubber and Deyonce who preferred their lowhanging fruit for peanuts rather than the riches AJ brings.

      OK,U luving blubber luv handles, propped up by Ring/MTK monies for 6 years and one failed drug test, stripped of every belt he ever own to end up with 2 title defenses, one of the AJ duckers whom he was fighting in his 3rd fight against for peanuts, and the other where he had to eat the Shyte of Whyte whom AJ destroyed years earlier.

      Yup, 6 years propped up Ring Champ, one failed drug test, and two defenses wif he and his promoter banned from America just about prime for his T-I-M-B-E-R moment.

      Sorta like l'l floydy bodyguard Jizzy Mack whacked out by a little Japanese guy on their Exhibition tour.

        It's an interesting question.
        Of course,should he be beaten in his next couple of fights The question will be deemed
        ridiculous.
        But ,should he not be beaten, perhaps we might say .;

        How would he have done against ;
        187lbs Sharkey
        170lbs ? Fitz
        188lbs Corbett
        199lbs Ruhlin
        167lbs Choynsky
        ??????????????

          He looked good against Parker, and continues to improve. I think I might compare him more to a young Foreman, but with less one-punch power but better stamina. We will see how he does against the top tier HWs.

            Or perhaps we might ask:

            Would any of these LHWs/CWs even be allowed in the ring with him?

                - - Ruhlin would if he downed a quart of beer before the weighin.

                  Only time will tell if Joyce is any good. Fantasies will not reveal his outcome. I have seen too may big deals go down the drain when they faced someone good. Parker is MEDIOCRE, the poor bitzenburger. He got to be world level somehow, which is no shame. He should bow out of the game. He must have pretty good money salted away.
