Joe Joyce's KO ratio is 93%

[Willow The Wisp]

Joyce is a good puncher. Ngannou sparred him a few years ago too. The problem is Joyce took a lot of big shots over the years and now his chin looks like it finally cracked. Maybe from the Parker fight, heading into the Zhang fights. Without that punch resistance he might never be the force he once was. Parker caught him with a hell of right hook but he only got stunned for a split second. Then he looked a lot less sturdy from round 1 against Zhang in his next fight and even more so in the rematch. So he's definitely got accumulative power, but he might not be able to take the return fire enough to make his power count anymore. Against good opposition anyway.

I'd have trouble gifting the hard work that Zhang did over to Parker. Joyce is known for taking shots, but others have taken much more and kept on truckin'.

Good points anyway though.

Wilder KOed pure bums.


Joyce beat Parker(iron chin) and undefeated Dubois, better than anyone WIlder has stopped.

I can't agree with the Fury haters, the Usyk haters, the Joshua haters, the Ngannou haters.......or the Wilder haters.
It's armchair warrior silliness.

Wilder is a pure fighter who can claim.....

• Olympic medalist with record few fights.
• Floored Fury 4 times.
• 8 years spent in the top 3 positions, longer than any other Heavyweight of the era.
• Quality of opposition on par with any other heavyweight of his era.
• Highest KO rate of any titleholder ever.
• At least Drew with every opponent ever faced.
• More wins than any top heavyweight of his era
• More KO's than any top heavyweight of his era.
• More title defenses than anybody else in the era.
• 12 wins, (11 KOs) against ranked* opponents (*Ranked by WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, The RING, ESPN OR BOXREC.com)
• More than anybody else in the era. (Fury 10, Joshua 9, Whyte 8, Povetkin 6, Parker 6, Ruiz 4, Usyk 4).
• Never quit in a fight.

Doesn't Beterbiev have a better KO rate?

Inoue is also pretty close. He's 18 KO's in 20 title fights. Wilder is 9 of 13.

Otherwise I agree. Wilder is still one of the best heavyweights of the era, even if Fury has his number. I'd like to see him fight some of the other big threats though. Him via Zhang, Joyce, Ruiz, Hrgovic, or even Parker or Ngannou would all likely be fun to watch. I wish he'd put some work into his left. If he had a left hook and liver shot to match his right...

As I stated as far back as 2020, I don't trust a guy to make it to the top if he continually eats punches. The wheels will come off somehwere. Joyce looked almost shot to these eyes in the 1st Zhang match. At 37 he would have been relegated to the glue factory in a different number of eras. Such seemed to hold true in his case in today's era. Curious though, I suspect Fury as being finished as well. If they had both met back in April it would have been very competetive, with the winner not going much farther, methinks.

ya idiots are literally pretending Parker isn't a pillow fist at HW lol.

I was limiting the stats to Heavyweights alone.

Me too. Everybody needs to stay sharp. If he's not keen on risking his top rating against a top 10er, I'd like to see him knocking somebody out.
Even now, for me, Wilder vs. Joshua is the one I'd choose above anything at Heavyweight.

And yet....Parker snagged arguably the best win of his career last week. Fighters are funny that way.

[ELPacman]

He's got 14 stoppages in 17 fights. That's 82%. Wilder is 42 of 46.

But yes, he's got some good scalps on his resume. Just can't beat the Big ****.

Wilder KO'd everyone he's ever won against.
