Showed a good chin too as Stiverne landed some real solid rights in the 1st, but Joyce took 'em well. I definitely look forward to seeing a lot more of Joyce. You gotta figure his flaws will catch up to him against the Elite guys, but win or lose he'll be fun to watch almost always I'd imagine given the way he fights. I'm a fan.

You think he's fun to watch? He's like "the Mummy." Painfully slow. Slo-mo-Joe! I agree Stiverne hit him a really good right in the first round flush, and Joyce walked right through it. Highlight of the fight.

Fun as hell to watch. I don't care that he lacks speed. He's aggressive, and steadily on the attack with big shots in combination, on top of that he has a leaky defense, and gets caught with heavy shots himself. What's not to like?

Okidokee! To each his own. I'll decide after I see him fight a more challenging opponent. Maybe I'm wrong, or it's taste or something, but he is so painfully slow I can't stand watching him.

Miller was so on the money when he called Joyce "Brown Lurch".
Joyce is about 15% slower than most of the top 12 guys. Joyce Vs Parker would be terrible.

Pathetic name on the resume at this stage

Yeh. And he wanted to go 6-8 rounds.. he got that.. he showed good chin against someone who can punch, had experience, even though it was quite one-sided.

He was getting hit too clean IMO

I think Fury outboxes Joyce and Wilder hits too hard for someone as stationary as him but I think that Joshua fight could be interesting especially when AJ tires around the middle rounds, if Joyce was to make it that far then his relentless pressure could prove tough for Joshua

For the record I believe Joshua to be the best heavyweight around but styles and all that

Outside of the top 3 it's in a sorry state i very much doubt Joyce can beat any of the top 3,you've got Ortiz,other than that imo it is a weak division,don't know what you's two see in it that makes it so competitive outside of the fact for fury,wilder & Joshua its competitive

But that's boxing,opinions differ,

The top three are competitive with each other. The rest of the top 10/15 are pretty competitive with one another. Not saying the division is strong or weak. There are a lot of good matches to be made.

So far, Joyce has been able to set the pace for every fight and every round he's fought. Once that can no longer be the case, he'll tire quickly. He's no match for Joshua at this point, and IMHO, he never will be. Wilder would spark him as Joyce is easy to hit and has no head movement. Fury would outbox him easily.
