[@jxrdz_gaming1477]

Exactly what I was thinking, he’s extremely slow

[@brianhanes5413]

Just goes to show how good AJ and Jermell Charlo are. AJ beat top 10 after top 10. Only slipping up to Ruiz then won those belts back. Till he lost to a top 5 in Usyk. Because Joyce, Whyte, Fundora, Hurd, Williams, haven't been able to sustain those top level runs. People act like everyone should be like Usyk but that's nearly impossible. We don't even know if Haney will keep up his run and AJ's is comparable to Loma's. Losing to Teo is like losing to Ruiz especially with how Teo got beat by Kambosos right after. Jermell beat a bunch of top 15 contenders in his weight class. Suffered a robbery loss to Harrison and a draw with Casanto. There is no Usyk in his division (that would be Crawford) but he did what most of these hyped pros couldn't dream to do.

[@brianhanes5413]

And I guarantee Franklin would be a hard fight for both of these guys. He would be outboxing Joyce and his output and headmovement could make him more of a challenge for Zhang. But people didn't want to give Joshua his due credit for schooling a top 15

This fight verified my feelings about Joyce. First , he is probably the SLOWEST punching heavyweight I have ever seen . He punches like he is under water. He holds his hands up but, they are apart leaving him open to straight shots down the middle which Zhang took full advantage of. I never saw Zhang before this fight. He fought perfectly in the first round. What surprised me was he actually looked a bit gassed in the second round! Mouth wide open and huffing and puffing already. Lucky for him Joyce was such an easy target. I enjoyed the fight and look forward to seeing Zhang again. Joyce on the other hand will have to be matched very carefully if he wants to win. I don't see much of a future for him. Just being honest.

Zhang is very solid. He's not a dummy like a lot of the non-champions are. He's a real boxer and takes it very seriously. It's really tragic because, due to his skill, he can't get an interesting fight because anyone who has some ambition will try to avoid a risky opponent like Zhang!

Zhang is a dangerous fighter without doubt with his power, he has that natural size and strength as opposed to the "body builder" like strength and physique that never provides the same stamina. However it's hard to gauge how good he is, because Joyce was such a static target, who threw virtually nothing back that prevented Zhang from landing punch after punch. How much of it was Joyce having a bad night, or just a clash of styles, and how much was Zhang just being so good that Joyce could do nothing, remains to be seen when Zhang takes on another highly rated fighter.
