      Joe Joyce main objective was to be a champion. I think most think thats unlikely now, thats why the calls for retirement. But if he wants to box to get money and also just to improve resume thats okay too, look at Chisora. Chisora was never really a world beater but noone begrudged him making a living and hes did ok too.

        He is one of the worst and most overrated fighters. He is a joke. Easily the slowest and easiest HW to hit thats ever laced their gloves.

          But we already know that
          His gimmick was catching punches with his face and retuning fire
          Who could withstand his shots got the W , likely

            Isn't THAT the time to retire?
            So you keep your wits about you?
            Nope, one has to be rendered a full retard to feel that it's time to hang 'em up.

              Joe Joyce isn't doing a 9-5.

              Imagine having the option to earn a few hundred thousand for fighting. He's going to keep fighting.

              I'm not sure he will have earned enough to keep him in retirement yet.

                  Parker fight was 3 years ago
                  Dubois fight was 5 years ago
                  Joyce has no chance of beating these fighters today

                  DDD was green as fugh and Parker hadn’t come into his own

                    Out of concern for you and nothing else, I advise you to get on the Big Doobie Train while there's still room for you. In fact , I'll discount your ticket down to $25 , American, payable by CashApp to yours truly. Congratulations in advance and have a Big Doobie Day !!
                    I was on the Big Doobie train. It was headed to Oilskinville but Doobie got off at the station before and caught another headed the other way.

                      Joe, the point of retirement is to do so while you still have your wits, not wait until they're gone. The fact you don't get that says they're not as present as you think.

                      Joyce isn't going to win a world title against any of the current crop of contenders, let alone the champ. And I'm not sure he's got any money fights left either.
