PED fraud Whyte managed to find the one guy slower than him.

Joe was always slow and terrible at interviews but he was never one to stare blankly into oblivion and just respond “umm” or seem completely lost as is his wont lately.

It's a travesty that a relatively young man has declined so much in so little time right before our eyes.

But the reality is it's nothing new in this game and it'll continue to happen for as long as the sport exists.

I suspect though I'm not completely convinced Joyce will beat Whyte and I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Don't know if either has much left. Should be a good fight though

That and only that should be motivation to retire
I already suspect Joyce is suffering from something mental hence his interviews where you can see him wondering and looking out yonder

I think Whyte sparks him out early with a big left hook. Joyce getting dropped in every fight now. If he fought Parker again he would get KTFO…

Whyte. Joyce. Joshua. Wilder. Grown men who have the right to continue their careers. But they are all badly washed and someone who cares about them should step in. And for the Hearn nuthuggers who would suggest Joshua isn’t washed - watch his violation by Dubois again objectively, if you can step away from suckling Eddie’s weiner for a moment. Not only was he dominated and KTFO violently, even his fictional power barely rattled Dubois, who was knocked down by a cruiserweight Lerena. All these guys are going to wind up eating food through a straw unless someone steps in now

The ref in the Dubois fight may have been trying but he did Joshua no favors. None of these guys have defensive skills! There is a reason why Lamotta (for example) SEEMED able to take punishment. He took a lot of the heat off the shots, as did many fighters who had underrated defensive skills.

Its their choice!

They know the risks. They have to accept the consequences...Short term gain for long term pain.

It's not something I'll watch though.
