Comments Thread For: Joyce: This Is Not It For Me; I've Got Plenty More In The Tank; Open To Rematch With Dubois

[Boricua181]

As I posted elsewhere, Zhang has broken Joe's psyche once and for all. Too bad. Now I even see Joyce losing with Dubois in an eventual rematch. Something has been ruined inside the Juggernaut by these two last fights.

Without a doubt, Zhang, ruined Joyce.

So now, when both guys tested big roads, it is time for Dubois - Joyce rematch?

I think Joyce beats him again, by a stoppage. Dubois is a quitter.

I feel for JJ but there's most often a winner and a loser in every fight. He certainly took a big risk in facing ZZ in the first place but he rolled the dice and came up short. I admire his courage to fight on but his style is like his nickname...Juggernaut. You just can't just exchange shots and hope you break your man down.

A rematch with Dubois, or fights with Whyte or Del Boy, would all do well in the UK, and he'd be the favourite in all. I would also favour him to beat the likes of little Ruiz, old man Ortiz, Jarrell Miller etc. So nah dont think he needs to call it quits right now unless he wants to.

Yeah, something like that. he can still fight a little under world championship level.

Chisora, Whyte, Miller, Bakole, Takam, Ortiz, Ruiz..I think he can still beat all these guys.

I don't believe that Joe's chin suddenly left him. And I don't believe that his basic skill set is ineffective as I saw him win Olympic silver, beat Takam and destroy Dubois and Joseph Parker, all very high level heavyweights. What I DO believe, having followed China's greatest martial artist of all-time by about 150 lbs since he won amateur world medals on 2007, 2008 and 2009; is that Zhilei Zhang is truly something very special.

He moves now to the number ONE contender position for the world's title in the multi million dollar combat athletes class, ahead of Deontay Wilder, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and all the rest.

That's not due to Joyce’s failings, all you armchair critics; it's due to Chinese Power!!!

Needs to build up a rematch with Dubois

both need to pickup a win before end of year

then position a rematch for the spring in the UK

Should sell well and receive solid pay

Two emphatic losses and he still wants to go , says something about his will to win BUT his defence is full of holes and he seems slower than ever with a now suspect chin ....Good luck to nice guy Joe but the odds are stacked like never before..

[PRINCEKOOL]

Joyce might as well keep going until there is no more 'If a fighter cannot go out at the top, that is how I like them to fight. Fight until there is no more, it is a very Honorable approach to the game and life' etc.

[Echo Falls]

This is all very similar to David Price when the wheels came off in back-to-back defeats to Tony Thompson.

Retire now Joe, or you’ll be fighting Dave Allen at Doncaster Leisure Centre before you know it.
