I like the Juggernaut. He's had some good wins over his brief professional career. He should.consider hanging them up, he won't ever punch any faster or improve his defense so even the victories will be hard-earned, nevermind the losses.

I think Joyce is véry likeable, one of the most likeable boxers today certainly but boxing has never been his sport.
To see a punch coming and how to react is something you learn before you start fighting competitively. Joyce doesn't see anything coming, not the most telegraphed punch.
The fact that he has had success is because of his incredible stamina and great chin. The latter has now gone. He still seems to like boxing but he is taking a lot of punishment for no good reason (not going to fight for a title)

Same goes for Chisora when it comes to eating punches but people are overlooking something.
The main talking point is the effect on him and CTE but almost all of Chisora's fights, he fights to absolute exhaustion ánd way beyond.
This is really unhealthy for the heart and this worries me even more at his age than CTE (in the short future)

Poor Joyce, he was B side, so he had no choice but to accept 10 round fight. He would have stopped Chisora if there had been 2 more rounds IMO.

It's sometimes so eye opening how quickly one can be at the top or near the top in boxing, and suddenly quote a fall.

Joyce was a top contender, rated one of the top three in the world by many, and then Zhang happened, and that was it.

I think he should keep going. He's still the same Joyce who beat Dubois and Parker. If i was a boxer and had reached top-15 (or whatever it was) in the world, I wouldn't give up either. He still looks good (for him)

And it’s time for both of you to call it quits. No mas.

[stourleyk]

No, Joyce is not the boxer who beat Parker and Dubois. Please. And if one thinks Joyce would have won in 12 rounds then he would have needed a knock out, as adding two rounds to the score cards of the judges doesn't add up to a victory.

You got to respect fighters. They enjoy this. Why is chisora still fighting, he's fought everyone

[MusoMeanderings]

Joe and Derek sure had punched CTE out of each other's brains.
