[edit] Amateur Career
Joiner was the 1962 National Golden Gloves Light-Heavyweight Champion and compiled an Amateur record of 86-6 (The Ring, March 1964).
[edit] Professional Career
He was a promising heavyweight prospect in the 1960s who failed to live up to his promise. A slick boxer with little punch, Joiner is best remembered as being the only fighter to last the distance with former world heavyweight champion Sonny Liston on March 28, 1969, during Liston's comeback.
He also fought (and lost) to top heavyweight contenders Zora Folley, Oscar Bonavena, Mac Foster, Alfredo Evangelista, and future heavyweight champion Larry Holmes.
