Joe Joyce is now the 3rd best heavyweight in the world

I don't think Joyce is impossible to outbox or anything, he is after all spectacularly slow. I also don't know his chin is impenetrable when the best puncher he's faced is Dubois, who was unproven himself. I'm not saying Joyce isn't effective and doesn't provide almost unique challenges in today's heavyweight division, but let's see him fight somebody coordinated, who can box or at least move. His defense against top fighters is also a question mark. Parker would be a real test. I think Ruiz would too with his fast hands and ability to put punches together. Ortiz is much more technically skilled, however given Joyce's engine that'd be an interesting fight. Joyce vs Usyk would be a great test for both guys. I'm not sure how a Whyte fight goes, but I might slightly favour Joyce to get to him late on in that one.

I cant imagine he beats Aj, Fury, Wilder or Ruiz. He looks too sluggish and just lacks the sharpness. I’m not sure he beats old ass Ortiz either. As good as his resistance seemed, not sure I’d pick him over Whyte either. Once you reach the upper parts of HW, doesnt matter how amazing your chin is. You cant let anyone hit you that much.

Hes obviously behind the belt holders tyson fury and Anthony joshua. But he's clearly leagues above ortiz who wasn't even in the same class at olympic level. Would kill the likes of windmill wilder who who has no skills whatsoever. Would comfortably beat dillion whyte who has been ko'd on numerous occasions. Would jab povetkins brain into next week. Would not be fazed by the likes of Joseph Parker, he doesn't offer much. I dunno he's still got Usyk who beat him as an amateur. Also Parker has fast feet, solid chin and no problem with taking to the scorecards so that is a question mark at least. Ruiz could be fun fight as well with his chin and hand speed. Ortiz and Povetkin haven't got the gas tank imo. Not sure if Dillion has either maybe his left hook could test Joyce's chin again. Wilder not sure since he got beat by his dress in the last fight and I've always said I favour anyone who's half decent and takes the fight to him he's just not a dog in a fight he doesn't trade. Joyce could be too slow but his chin might take Wilders right. Would be happy to see how it works out.

He’s behind Povetkin Virtually the same level resume as Wilder, bar the loss to Fury Can see an argument for 4/5, as no one else in the division has done anything The exception to that is Ruiz but that’s a difficult one

Not sure about that yet but I think he gives a lot of the top fighters some problems I think Fury is out on his own really and will cement that v AJ. But outside of Fury, I think Joe is in the mix. Defo. Him vs Usyk is a great match up with their history and a nice clash of styles and the acid test probably for both actually. It will never happen but him and Wilder would be hilarious. Absolute box office.

Because he beat the 30th best HW in the world?

I dunno about that. But I think its the 2nd best win any HW has gotten this year and should clearly solidify him in the top 10.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself following this win. There are still questions to be asked of him. Tbh, there isnt. He's 35. He goes with what he's got against any of them.

I am willing to bet cash you also predicted Joyce to lose this fight... I swear I think British boxing fans are ****ing poison. You people really do a lot to ruin this sport with your ****ty attiude and takes. And that comes from someone who think Joyce is the best heavyweight prospect by some distance.
