Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce On Facing Zhang Zhilei: It Is A Hard Fight, Risky Fight; Gonna Be Hairy At Times

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joe Joyce realizes he could've chosen a safer opponent than Zhang Zhilei. The unbeaten WBO interim heavyweight champion is already the mandatory challenger for one of Oleksandr Usyk's four championships. The better business move might've been for Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) to stay busy by boxing someone less dangerous than China's Zhilei (24-1-1, 19 KOs), who dropped and pushed unbeaten Croatian contender Filip Hrgovic in

Zhang vs Joyce is a insiders fight.

Outside of title fights, it is these type of fights 'That are the best fights to make'.

This fight technically does not have to happen for Joyce, he could so easily just tick over until he receive a title fight.

Joyce's last two fights have really been insiders fights 'Both Parker & Zhang'.

Tyson Fury for example his team do not really match him in statistically competitive fights 'Outside of his big fights'.

Fury will fight at a Super high level, then in-between those fights drop back down the levels and just tick over.

Fury in that regard out of his nearest competition has always throughout his career been matched superbly 'Fury's career consist of great match making, promoters maximizing, protecting and knowing when to take risks'.

Joyce could beat Zhang, but in the process get wacked and ****** about 'I have already stated before, that really so close to a title fight? This is maybe not optimal, Joyce beat Parker, but he is being wacked in the process'.

To a certain extent, this is good experience for Joyce 'But there is a fine balance, when you are in contention for a title fight'.

People realise Zhang is a great dance partner, even coming off loss. Just like clotte y was a great dance partner for pac, coming off loss to cotto.
It don't matter if you fight guys coming off losses!

'lol - "my juggernaut-ness"'

If it was a lot of fighters you would assume he couldn't find the right words. With JJ you know he was smirking when he said it. Leaving aside his boxing skills, IDK why anyone would call JJ boring. To me he has more charisma than anyone should need.
