Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce rejects talk of retirement: ?I?ve still got my wits about me?

Someone should show him videos of Ali..

[HisExcellency]

His wits have ALREADY started to go...he's slurring his speech, getting caught with almost every punch and his speed, power and punch resistance have all dropped off a cliff.

Time to hang 'em up Joe before you become the next boxing tragedy. You're already 39yo and have had a STELLAR amateur career and have ALMOST won a world title having captured the WBO Interim belt.

Your saving grace is that at least you can retire knowing you STOPPED 2 former world champions in Parker & Dubois.

99% of fighters can only dream of achieving what you've already achieved!

Is Chisora really having that good of a late career resurgence? 3-4 years ago Hrgovic was some sort of alleged boogieman. Chisora looks like at 40 he could still beat Hrgovic & a few of the other top 15... Joyce is a likeable guy but that chin isn't iron anymore...

Much like Tua beating 4 former champions by KO including 2 in 1st round...

I mean olympic silver medalist (should have been gold if were being honest) British, Commonwealth,European and interim world champion. Probably made some really good money aswell.. been a good career alot better than most so he should call it a day, he's clearly deteriorating in every fight he has now and it's either call it a day or just get fed to upcoming heavyweight talent like Moses Itauma

I always though Hrgovic would win this fight so I don't see a problem for Joyce. Joyce is still taking shots that would stop other HWs. Joyce needs to fight someone less durable because he doesn't punch that hard. Not sure why they put him in with Hrgovic when he needed a win.




Well no doubt Dubois won but there were a lot of head butts. Dubois quit against Joyce and Usyk and got put down 3 times in one round by a journeyman in Lerena. I would say Dubois and Hrgovic - we still don't know how good they are. Dubois is largely living off a great win against Joshua. But Joshua has a terrible chin and terrible recovery. How would Dubois fair against someone more durable?

That's Revisionist History. Dubois was considered to be cattle feed after he got stopped by Joyce and quit against Usyk. He was panned for being weak mentally. No one expected him to even beat Fat Baby Miller, let alone AJ and Hrgovic.

Joyce is D-O-N-E. He has zero head movement. Another 2-3 fights will result in permanent brain damage. It's amazing that someone this basic and vanilla won an Olympic silver medal. Astounding.

He had the chance to find out versus Parker, but decided to hide under his bed with a case of the sniffles and piss his pants instead.

How many durable guys we have around?

Joyce - Whyte should be next.

"I’ve still got my wits about me"

Isn't THAT the time to retire?
So you keep your wits about you?

Isn’t that what all insane people say
Just sayin’
