Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Reflects on Breaking Down Daniel Dubois With The Jab

[Tecnoworld]

But why? First decent guy who fought back and he lost. Problem DD has is - he hasn't been in with enough good live fighters to learn the skills he needs to beat a top-level guy. Joyce isn't even top-10



Are you serious? Joyce has had 12 fights and his already fighting someone of Takam's quality. That's a very fast progression!

Joyce is very gifted by nature but is getting old despite being an olympian and an outstanding amateur. AJ had a fast progression. Now it's a very difficult time for a good hw, with so much to be decided among few names (wilder, usyk, fury, aj) and a couple potential extras (ruiz and whyte). I don't see anyone else having a shot before 2023. I hope to be proved wrong.

I like JJ but describing him as 'very gifted by nature' is absurd. He is marginally quicker than a sloth & has the reflexes of a Hereford cow. He is enormously strong & has a great engine. His jab is horrible but he somehow makes it work for him. JJ is a nice guy who loves fine art, which makes me doubt he can be competitive with beasts from the street like Dillian, Deontay & Tyson but I might be wrong. I can't honestly see JJ going anywhere but, again, I might be wrong. JJ certainly is incredibly strong & moves forward like an overfilled wardrobe. I'm sorry, I can't see JJ being competitive in the top ranks of H/W boxing &, if he is there is something wrong with H/w boxing.

I saw several videos of joyce doing capoeira and other kinds of movements which I think are incredible for such a huge guy. He seems slow but he is also super precise and sharp. I'd like to see a fight vs aj.

I feel Big Jugs and The Mighty Oilskin Parker are on a collision course.

That fight would make or break either of them!

i think dubois will be #1 HW soon and for a while

Lol.... dream on. He'll be back fighting guys with out a pulse. If he can't beat Joyce then he's clearly c grade at best.

You can tell just by looking at him, he doesn't have speed or skill to compete at top level. Joyce proved that.

A young Jack Johnson was KO by Choynski, a young Joe Louis was KO by Schmeling, a young Vladimir Klitschko was KO by Cory Sanders.

Don't write a man off because he lost a fight.

Wait why? He is way younger than Joe Joyce who is a top 10 ranked on almost everyone's HW. To me, 2 judges, and most he was winning even with an injury.
