Watched the Joyce Chisora fight... And it settles the debate for me! No way the antiquated fighters of yesteryear compete!!!

Not for nothing, But Lewis-Vitali was one of the most sloppy titles fights I've seen. Important point if neatness is your thing.

Wars often can be. Foreman-Lyle is considered a heavyweight classic, but technique and skill were out the window in that fight as well.Comment

Joyce's punches had some sort of "meaningless" to them, as if I could have absorbed them. Was he punching him or poking him?
Chisora at least seem to have some ban-g to his.
I guess we should respect Joyce for taking some big shots.Last edited by Willie Pep 229; 07-30-2024, 12:17 PM.Comment
