Am I the only one thoroughly unimpressed by Joy Joyce?

[mromano]

I’ve said it from day 1, he’s absolute trash. People on here were hyping him up and saying he was a top heavyweight and I really had to wonder if they were talking about someone else. I thought he had good stamina, a resiliant chin, but damn didn’t think he’d get bodied like that. Overrated and over hyped. Next.

He was precisely trash with great stamina and a great chin. That's not overrated or overhyped. It's just a fact. I don't think anyone was under any illusion as to what he was. He was exactly how he looked.

But that was enough to get him to Interim Champion status. That, and the guys he beat, absolutely made him a top heavyweight. He was in line for a title shot.

I'm actually gutted for him. He didn't need to take on Zhang and I think most of us understood that was a big risk to take when he could potentially just stay busy and fight for a title.

But credit for taking that fight. It's just a shame that doing it pretty much ended his career at the top level.

Hes never passed the eye test and until fairly recently he wasnt viewed all that highly. Ive always liked him though, not gonna be fickle now. Obviously slow as **** but a big strong guy who had the durability and motor to absorb everything, keep coming forward and break people down. Not a great strategy for a long term career but it was fun while it lasted.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I give him a credit for fighting Zhang when he didn`t have to.

Joyce got 4 nice paydays: DDD, Parker, Zhang 2x. If this is the end of the road for him, I hope he is ok with money.

He's not a good brawler, there's no sharpness to his technique, he's static, he's slow, he hits mediocre for his size.

Why should anyone watch this fighter? He's light years away from Joshua and Fury.

No, you're not the only one. I always considered Joyce a slow, one-dimensional, silly forward-jumping man with limited technique and slow speed. He is strong, he is tough, appears a nice (and ******) dude, but that's it. The overhype is finally over. And I don't even think Zhang is that good - he definitely is great for his age and is good, but not that great.

And who is great nowadays?

He was always a bum. Grade A top of the line bum.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Joyce looked like he didn`t even wanna be there.

I am sure he took the fight only to prevent Zhang from fighting Fury and for another pay day. Warren`s games.

[The plunger man]

No your not he’s an absolutely appalling hyped up heavyweight...even when he boxed in the amateurs I hated his style and saw he had hardly any natural talent...having a chin was his only outstanding atribute
