Joe Joyce v Filip Hrgovic

[Denilson3.0]

High quality chins & hearts, low quality everything else. Not sure where Joe goes from here. Sounds like he wants to go on. Why ? To be food for Itauma ? To fight Johnny Fischer ? Seriously where can he go ? He should retire, yes he's very lucid and talks fluid but I can see a James Toney / Tommy Hearns speech coming in later years.

what else can he do to make the sort of money he does fighting? i'm not sure if he has been smart with his money, hopefully he has. but if he hasn't then fighting is his best bet to set up his family

If you are 1-4 in the last 5 fights, it's time to rethink your position. Joyce said after he fight "I’ve still got my wits about me"

Isn't THAT the time to retire?

So you keep your wits about you?

He's already 39yo and has had a STELLAR amateur career has ALMOST won a world title having captured the WBO Interim belt.

He can retire knowing he STOPPED 2 former world champions in Parker & Dubois and the fact that someone as basic as Joyce has done all that ?

ASTOUNDING.

But that's HW boxing I guess, you don't have to be as skilled as the lower weights

I don't know his financial situation and yes I agree, I doubt he has made enough money to last him the rest pf his life but very few fighters do

"Isn't THAT the time to retire?"

for me the time to retire is when joe wants to or he can no longer get licensed. if he could get a comms job (not sure that's suited for him) or open a gym, that'd be great. these people saying joe needs to retire should stfu, unless they are offering him another means of income that is equal to what he makes in the ring

Said by someone who doesn’t give a fuck about him or any other boxer as long as he gets to watch.
This ain’t the fucking colosseum mate, we’re supposed to have moved on by now.

i've never said i don't give a fuck about joe or any other boxer. i just prefer every adult be free to choose how they live their life. i can care & not agree with their choices, doesn't mean i want to take away their freedoms. as far as i am aware joe is not being forced to fight, he is making the choice to fight. you seem to think you have a higher claim over another man's life & can tell him what he's allowed to do with it. sounds like slavery, we're supposed to have moved on from that by now

1. You don’t have to say you don’t give a fuck, your comments make it blatantly obvious.
2. Not slavery at all. It’s not about a higher claim. All I’m saying is there should be more medical checks , brain scans etc. and if there was, he clearly wouldn’t be fit to fight. It’s called compassion mate.
Yes we all want to see good fights, yes we all want to see people show heart and courage.
But we don’t want to see deaths and people in vegetive states. At least I don’t , you’re clearly ok with it, and that’s fine because “ I can’t tell you how to think”
