Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce: I'm Still Here, I'm Not Retiring, I've Got Plenty of Fights Left To Be In

Joe Joyce is the prime example of why you don't stay in the amateurs for decades.

If he had turned pro in his mid 20s he would be like 30 now and have time to rebuild.

True.

Personally I hate that guys CAN be amateurs into their late 20s or 30's. I think like most sports there should be an agreed to amateur eligibility time period. I think you should get like ~6yrs of eligibility after 18 & then you are done or gotta turn pro. There are too many grown ass men who are professional amateurs in the amateur game.

Joyce saw Parker's performance and got motivated.

"Uhhh dont worry about muh brain. It can take plenty more of... Umm Frank, what do you call those things when you get punched in the face ?"

"They're called punches in the face Joe. Yeah don't worry bout that You're still the Juggernaut"

"Oh yeah. And what's a Juggernaut again, Umm sorry whats your name ? Yeah you the old guy with fish eyes ?"

It's Frank Joe, Frank and yep you got plenty of big fights left, Plenty!!!"

Now Joyce thinks he is somebody because he has seen two of his victims winning good fights on Saudi card.

But still, he is the one coming from two KO losses.

Joyce vs Wilder might have been a good comeback fight for both fighters.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Good for Joyce! I hate weak fighters who give up after a loss or two. I think he will keep same style. There is no way he can change and be effective. He just needs to avoid Wilder and Zhang and maybe AJ (Aj already KO'd him in 1 round in the amateurs)

[landotter]

I just cannot wrap my mind around his fall from grace. He did not have to fight Zhang. He did it because he wanted the challenge. That does not feel like the kind of man who just falls off from relevancy. I am willing to wager we see Joyce still fight in important bouts, winning a few.

[Mick Higgs]

Get Nosher Ali out the way & I'd like to see him fight Fabio Wardley.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I want him to fight on, but he will need a much bette ropponents that this one.

[BustedKnuckles]

He said it would be crazy to stop now. In my mind it's not crazy and makes a lot of sense if he has money for a comfortable future.

But maybe he still loves it and wants to keep going. That's a fighter's mentality, but age catches us all. Just don't come into your next fight looking like Wilder in his last fight (who sort of said the same stuff as this last year).
