So AJ vs Usyk is likely gonna happen now. Which leaves Joyce without an opponent. So… Who should he fight next?
Joyce vs Parker would be my first suggestion. Both highly ranked by the WBO and the winner would be in line to face the AJ-Usyk winner.
Joyce vs Whyte would be a good domestic scrap too but we all know Whyte wouldn’t take that fight.
He could also maybe defend his European title against a Wallin, Pulev, Helenius etc.
Who do you wanna see the Juggernaut fight next?
he strung joe along, he could have had both fights done this year but he know joe would have knocked him out. joes not the raw amateur that usyk fought, hes a rolls royce of a heavyweight and he would have broke him down. long 12 rounds with joe coming forward, with a jab that breaks eye sockets, best shots just bouncing straight back off him
Based on ............
Joyce vs Pulev or Hrgovic to prove how good he’s.
I didn’t learn anything from the Dubois since he didn’t do much apart from sticking out his jab against a novice who hasn’t really been tested.
Or if they can get him in there against Whyte or Chisora. Parker also won’t be a bad choice.
He's already beaten Hrgovic in the WSB. I like the Pulev fight, I think it's a reasonable test as one guy is on the way up against a decent guy who is fading. Think Joyce would beat him up but it's a fight worth making.
I think they will struggle to get him big fights. He's a tough nights work for anyone, plus the title picture is crowded over the next 12 to 18 months so if someone takes him on and beats him they still won't be rewarded with a title shot any time soon.
it will be someone outside the top 10 that they can bring over on the cheap
these other heavyweights are literally waiting until joyce gets old overnight and slows down,
If he slows down much more he'll stop completely.
I don't think Joe is dependent on speed. He'll just keep coming with his efficient jab and ridiculous resilience. There's a few years left in that approach.
Right now, you don't risk Joe taking a points defeat. He's in position to challenge and he's a chance against anyone.
Ruiz probably fights Ortiz next.
I'll believe it when I see it. I have a doubt Ruiz will take that fight right now in his comeback trail. He probably fights an easier fighter before trying to land a Joshua/Fury/Wilder fight.
these other heavyweights are literally waiting until joyce gets old overnight and slows down, its pathetic. usyk damn well knew he was getting knocked out hence why he dragged things out so he got the joshua fight, if he fought joyce first he'd have got ko'd, he took the cowards way out stringing joe along then taking the easier fight
So Usyk should tell Hearn to pack the Joshua fight (with the belts and a HUGE payday) in his a$$ so he can fight Joyce for no belt and 10% of the money he'll make vs Joshua? Replay that in your mind...............it'll come to you..........that's right, totally stupid.

not true, Usyk's manager explained why Usyk-Joyce didnt happened, it had smth to do with WBO rules, Usyk and Joyce could not sign a contract to fight for the interim title while actual champion was still available, so Fury-Joshua contract had to be signed first then Usyk and Joyce could fight for the interim
Joyce has a high ranking with the wbo and is in line to fight for a world title so I can't see that being risked. Look what happened to Whyte against Povetkin.
Apparently, Frank Warren has been trying to position Danny Doobwah for the fight with Trevor Bryan, so there really will be slim pickings for BIG JUGGERNAUT, now that the WBO fight seems off the table.
Why not BIG JUGGERNAUT vs. Dereck Chisora? Would make for a hell of a slugfest!
What the **** is this bullocks.
This is why I made my earlier statement about Joshua fans. You matchroom turds are a ****ing cancer, how the hell can you excuse someone for not taking a competitive fight? How was a shot Povetkin even a risk? Considering how ****ing terrible he looked?
"You Joshua fans.." FOOH with this. AJ fights anyone and everyone, and doesn't run his mouth. Fury has never defended a belt, and when he is not fighting the hype job from Alabama, (whose best win is a 40 year old unknown Cuban), he is fighting Sefer Seferi and Tom Schwartz types. Wilder is awful. WTF you on about, "AJ fans". He's the man at HW, and that much is obvious to anyone with half a brain.

100%. I would love to see Joyce v Whyte next.
Joyce needs to try to take down Parker, Pulev, or Povetkin.
Though I'd really like to see him take on Andy Ruizor Hughie Fury. Is there a reason that Ruiz hasn't been mentioned yet?

Sadly, you don't risk Joyce at this point. He's not young and doesn't have time to get caught up in rematches or rebuilding.
His title chance is probably still over a year away. He can't afford to delay that at all.
