Yeah... a pic would be nice... but what kind of fixture was there before you removed it.. if it was a ceiling fan, there may be a brace holding it in connected to the 2 opposing joists. You could carefully cut around the box and take a look and see if there is anything else holding the box in the wall... sometimes people painstakingly reinforce ceiling boxes.
