    Joyce winning was bad for boxing

    Joyce is old and nearly done, and no top HW's are gonna be keen on fighting him any time soon.

    DDD is young, looks the part and could've gone on to have some massive fights against the likes of Fury/AJ or any of the upcoming HWs like Yoka & Hrgovic

      Nah, but he's arguably damaged goods now.

          no it is not bad for boxing. He is a good exciting boxer and a good man. Boxing fans can enjoy him while he is here. It would be better if he was 23 but he isn't. If he retires soon due to age other good fighters will replace him. DDD was overrated in my opinion and i think Joyce exposed him as a front runner and a bragger who lacks the determination and slill to back up his bragging. Good for Joyce.if DDD had won he still would have been defeated soon enough. He just is not anything special.

                I reckon Joyce could carry on fighting the way he does now well into his 40s, if he wants to. For me, he epitomizes the reasons why HWs mature later and have longer primes than the lighter weights.

                Strength, power, durability, stamina, ring IQ, are the last attributes a fighter loses as he ages, and the exact same attributes that make The Juggernaut so difficult to beat.

                  I think the Joyce win was good for boxing. Shows the unpredictable nature of the sport. Hence the bookmakers had Dubois as favourite.
