    That’s what I don’t get, the sad bit is we all know the thread start is a moron. It’s the idiots that actually reply to him and then make it about something that it isn’t....

    Fact is those two called it that he quit, there was no crowds to throw anything, and we haven’t seen tonight’s report of the fight from anyone else.

      We have a very weak and pathetic culture which hates on anyone that threatens our mild sensibilities.

Hence why guys like Fury, Eubank, Lewis, Benn and many others were always kinda looked over.

      There is a lot to enjoy about Joyce even outside of his boxing, most of all is the fact that he constantly challenges himself. He constantly looks to evolve. Tonight he did again with an even better jab and head movement. That's what makes good fighters. Not consistently fighting B level talent, taking 70/30 splits in rematches and then claiming its all about "being humble". America, on the other hand, doesn't really respect you until you're taking on and defeating the best. As much as yanks annoy me, I respect that about them. Their fight culture is all about breeding excellence. Even if you medal at the Olympics, no one gives a **** until there is little doubt about your abilities. Hence why, despite Wilder's bronze medal and WBC championship, no one really acknowledged him due to his subpar resume. Its the very thing which forced him into hunting down guys like Povetkin, Ortiz and Fury. Look at the UFC (a very US centric product), I dislike the poor fighter pay but at least they're constantly getting the best fighters to go at each other.

      Dubois was just another in a list of overhyped British heavyweights. And, rather oddly (and just like in the cases of Bruno/Lewis and Joshua/Fury) it seems like we actually possessed the superior talent all along.
      Lol Stfu up Tank Davis and the Charlos are PPV in the US and their resumes stink.

      Wilder was booking himself up with the Ortiz rematch a week before AJ fought Ruiz so he had a premade excuse if AJ won and called him out. Lucky for him AJ lost. He decided to fight Fury after he saw how awful he was against Seferi after three years out that shet ain't chasing excellence.

        The Charlos are some of the best talents in their weight class (if not the best) and Tank Davis only real challengers in a stacked division are Handy and Lopez. This is what I mean, you ****tards are so mediocre. You have no concept of talent. Davis just bodied Cruz after taking out Gamboa. The same Gamboa that Haney just fought a garbage fight with. And that Haney that your idiot bumboy Hearst is betting his US exposure on. Get the **** out of here you dumbass. Youre legit sitting here wondering why Floyd's best protege is putting bums on seats? Jesus.

          Angulo took punishment to that eye for several rounds. Dubois is a b i t c h

            Agree with all this.I actually think Joyce is an interesting character too,he isn't boring, hes got a low key sense of humour and he comes to fight, has a strange compelling style of coming forward like a terminator, just tries to break guys will.Obviously for some reason ,hes face doesn't fit with what the luvvies like,they like hype not authenticity. Maybe they know they cant make politics out of him.

              [QUOTE=mart321;20914841]Name one uk media outlet or person who said eubank won that fight. You are lying.
              The observer scored it 6 rounds to Eubank 5 to Groves with 1 even, now apologise for calling me a liar.

                How can you talk rubbish like this on a forum with other boxing fans who know what’s up?
                Tank only has two competitors? How about Loma, Luke Campbell and Garcia. Tank hasn’t fought anyone who is a threat to him and won’t for the foreseeable future.
