Still a lot of details to be added...hair, sweat, neck, shoulders...

Probably Dillian Whyte I guess. I'm sure Whyte would fight Joyce too, I'm not sure what good it would do Joyce though.

gilgamesh wrote: ↑28 Jan 2025, 14:51 It's honestly stunning that he has a win on his record over Dubois followed by a loss to Chisora. He's probably the only boxer in the World that will have that on his record.

That being said, the fact that he could've even lost to Chisora means that something must've happened. Either a bad injury, or something must've happened that significantly affected Joyce's ability to perform.

But yeah if you can't beat Chisora in 2024. I don't really know what's left for you. You're not even a Regional Champion really if you can't get by your Country's old Warhorse that almost everybody gets by.

Hah, well because he does a bit of painting himself, I thought i'd tag him in it once finished...although he might not appreciate that piece of fine art!

Something did happen. It’s called getting Zhanged. And twice too

I guess the engine might not be there in the same way. But I would make him favourite against Parker, Dubois, Wardley.

I'd like to see him in with Joshua.

I feel like a normal sized human being could well die from a flush shot by Zhang. Joe is a massive lump himself but in a way thats his downfall: he relied on his chin way too much. I noticed when some iron chinned boxers finally get their chin cracked, they are never the same.

interesting isn't it - do you think it is physical or psychological thing?

I think physical - the force (or cumulation of punishment) required to switch them off is so great that when it happens it has lasting effects
