I always thought Joe Joyce ****** and he does

[KidDinamita]

He absolutely sucks but the only fighter I'd feel comfortable picking over him is Usyk and maybe Fury - but he's maybe just wrong for Fury also?

I'd favour Usyk 9/10 times I think he has the footwork, angles, cardio speed to neutralise him.
I'd favour Wilder to level him, Fury and possibly Whyte to catch him with that left hook but I wouldn't bank on it.

I don't even understand him his head doesn't even snap back anything he gets hit with just bounces off him like its nothing lol

Not sure if Joyce beat Usyk in the WSB. might be wrong though.

Fury would be comfortably outbox him off the back foot.

Joyce is a tough night for anyone else tho including AJ.

Actually, Fury would never fight him because he would either feign Covid, fake an ankle injury or retire after getting caught on PEDs. Either that or try and kiss Joyce in the ring. 5 years, 0 title defenses and has ran from 3 rematches now...

but let's blame mental illness and depression though...

But in one of those cool Margarito type ways of sucking. Despite sucking, I'd pick maybe 3 heavyweights to beat him. He'd put Joshua on his bike for sure.

If you mean the whole division sucks, yes sir. Nothing contradictory about what you said. One of the worst divisions in boxing. If I had to choose the best of a weak division, I'd go with Joshua. His Wlad win was a dog fight, very memorable fight. That still makes me respect him. For the rest, not much.

Haven't seen the Joyce fight.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I saw the co-feature. The black British guy (the one Joyce beat last) is nothing to bet on. I call fighters like him "What you see is what you get." That means final product.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Super Durability, endurance and decent enough power can take you a long way in this game.

It will only be the elite level skills of the top guys who will exploit him.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Dorks, it is a heavyweight division. Superlight guys don`t exist there. I don`t know why guys that think that the whole division suck, even post here. Go watch your small guys and have fun.

Usyk beat Joyce comfortably.



I'd favour him to win again FWIW but not with quite as much confidence as Dan Cov... More like 60 - 40, 70 - 30. Their relative experience gap has closed considerably since the WSB and I think the longer pro fights favour Joe's style more.

I like Joyce, so many odd things about him, his chin, speed or lack there of, he is educated but blocks punches with his head regularly, his interviews make me laugh, he seems so genuinely friendly and unassuming, similar as DDD. Two monsters who seem shy and polite, maybe it's a UK thing, although Parker is a bit like that too I guess.

[mromano]

Was not impressed one bit by his performance at all. It looks to be that he does a lot of slapping with his punches and does not get a full fist behind his shots. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here and how he matches up vs upper tier fighters. I cant believe I said upper tier fighters. LOL

he's absolutely giant. lots of these guys lift weights to get that size, joyce rolled out of bed that big and if he didn't get on his toes and box all the time he would probably be 300 lbs and carry it like it was nothing. some of these guys get billed as 6'5" or 6'6" and they get near a guy who you know damn well is 6'2 and they're only a little taller. joyce is 6'6" with a bullet and his head sits on his shoyulders with no neck to speak of. the guy was born to get big shots bounced off his dome. he's so slow you wouldn't see him wobble anywya
