Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Comes In Heavier For Carlos Takam Fight Than He Was For Daniel Dubois Bout

One things for certain....we're gonna know FOR SURE how good Joe Joyce is or if he completely sucks......if you know me then ya know my stance...Joe Joyce is highly overrated after beating a never-could-be in DD. I fully expect Joe to take a loss here....possibly by knockout.

I agree. Could be some good money to be made on takam win

If Joyce wins, and I think he is highly likely to, it will be harder for either Joyce or Whyte to avoid each other, if none of them will be scheduled to fight for the belt. They both will be highly ranked. To me Whyte-Joyce would be 50/50 fight, but if pressed, I'd probably give Joyce a very slight upper hand actually for his chin, stamina and pedigree. But for some reason I feel that Whyte wouldn't be keen on fighting Joyce.

Whyte only interested in fighting old men. 4 more years and Joyce will be in whytes preferred over 40 age bracket.

Not sure why Whyte would be highly ranked, when he's just got KTFO by a 40 year old

I dunno, I think we know exactly what Joyce is. He's a big, slow throwing, arm punching fighter with little head movement. He's also got a first rate motor, thudding power, ******* jab and solid chin. He has liabilities, he has strengths.

I expect Joyce to get hit by a game Takam and the fight to be entertaining until he slowly grinds the Frenchman's resolve and punch resistance down.

We won't really know what he does against AJ, Fury or even Wilder until he steps in the ring with them. It's a matter if his liabilities or his strengths prevail against that particular opponent.

Completely agree. We don't know how far that can take him. At the moment it looks good for him. Takam is a good test - a proper resilient gatekeeper who will make him take a punch.

We talk about chins a lot and I reckon it's usually overrated. Get hit by a real big puncher and you're in trouble but Joyce's chin is clearly a bit different. Will be interesting to see if he can eat Takam's best (I suspect he can).
