    TS didnt ask for heavies but Joe Joyce. On tele the punches just look so lacklustre and slow and then you see distress signals and an opponents face trying to slide off his skull that reminds you that yeah this is a big scary dude landing big thudding punches. I'd imagine you would get a different perspective watching Joyce ringside. His jab is ridiculously heavy. Which makes him a threat. Joe Joyce is definitely going to hit you. Common sense says maybe someone will spark him out eventually but if he gets big fights I'd be tempted to put money on him because he will be a bookies underdog.

    Fascinating fighter to me.

    Captain of the who needs him club. Nobody is fighting that guy unless forced.
    Not impressed with Joyce, I think Hrgovic beats him. Having said that Joe Joyce is one of the slowest heavies that is top 10 if Joyce is indeed top 10 I have no idea.

      You're calling Beterbiev, GGG, Foremain, Carl Froch, Ugas, Joyce, Margarito, Bam Bam, Baldomor and so on counter punchers?

        hmm interesting question

        I think haney is pretty slow, he tries to fight floyds style but his hands are slow. he also doesnt have much pop, he needs to be carefully matched and isnt going to make it to the higher weight classes.


        magarito was slow but i was surprised he was much quicker when he was younger, if you watch the sergio fight he looked like a different fighter

        i thought hopkins was slow when he was old but he looked young again vs pavlik, so i guess that makes pavlik pretty damn slow

        mikey garcia is pretty slow, really relied on his ability to cut down to 135

            I dunno if Ugas is slow, especially when you compare him to the lower weight classes who are naturally faster then him, and you're comparing Ugas to the upper echelons of those divisions

              That would be a perfect fight really for fans really.

              Pretty sure both would smash Wilder to pieces at least now.

                I always thought cotto fought quite slow and methodically.
