    It's real sad that there are people thinking this. Imagine how long it would take either of these shopworn warriors to dispense with Jake or even the guy who beat Jake, Tommy TNT Fury.

    I think a lot of newer fans haven't yet realized that there are levels to this sport.
    You’d expect a top 15 heavyweight to beat a novice light heavyweight, barely in the top 100.

    I think the main point of the article is that whilst both these guys can operate around the top level, they’re both renowned for being able to soak up punishment. But these days they’re taking more damage than they used to, and are not reacting well to the damage they’re taking. It’s almost as if they’re waiting to be forced out of the sport with a horrific beating.

    Couldn't you apply that same logic to most boxers, other than the few anomalies that manage to fight without taking much damage? At least they are making real money, 99% of them are making jack diddly and can't even retire on it.

    may not make sense to you or others but it makes money for those two guys. both will get two more pay days and that will be the extent of any good pays from here on out.

    Cannot believe that some writers are comparing this to the Thrilla in Manila. Fun fight between two limited contenders but come on now.

    Chances are if his had had not felt the resistance of Joyce's chin... he would have.
