Joe Joyce thoughts ?

That was a pretty good performance, but I think Stiverne is extremely overrated and not difficult to look good against at all. I think that he's in with a shout of being the worst HW champion of the modern era. He had basically no right to be fighting for the WBC title off of the record he had prior to fighting Arreola for the vacant belt (and Arreola was arguably also unworthy of that right) He was also 40+, had been inactive for over a year prior to fighting Joyce and has always seemed unfocused and ill-disciplined to me even at the best of times. He's only really ever been relevant in the division thanks to whatever black magic Don King is still able to muster. So yeah, Joyce did look pretty good in that fight, but I don't think he did anything that any other reasonably decent prospect would be capable of doing.Comment

Well im pretty sure he did better than mostwould do,he broke down stiverne with overwhelming workrate and pressure,sure i could have seen dubois going in there and steamrolling stiverne in the first couple rounds with a big shot or some others like aj or wilder again but all with patience for that kne shotThat was a pretty good performance, but I think Stiverne is extremely overrated and not difficult to look good against at all.

Joyce cut him off bombarded him with workrate and took whatever stiverne had which was hell for arreola who was used to taking a slap and even had wilder thinking about junping inComment

I take it you never got the memo that joyce could withstand anything god can throw at him
Joyce could literally stand infront of a train and the only thing that would happen is everyone inside the train would be dead
Joyce would just be standing there trying to swat the fly thats annoying himComment

Chu don't know **** bout baxingDont rate him, I think the fight with Dubois will be a massacre in Dubois favour and whether it goes long or short just depends on how good Joyce chin is.
Thats not to say Dubois is the best thing since sliced bread but I still think he has a lot more to offer and is better than Joyce in every comparable way. Dubois may still turn out to be a hype job for all we know, but Joyce wouldnt be the guy to expose it imo.Comment
