Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Gears Up For Joseph Parker, Hopes To Face Tyson Fury

[P to the J]

Great fight. A tough fight. I hope Big Joe wins. I think he can.

I think he will. Better boxer with a better engine than Parker. Parker’s conditioning has never looked great.

Yes, he managed to develop some serious punching for Chisora II, but Joyce’s head is made of that same material used for Teddy Roosevelt up Mt. Rushmore. ****ing mountain for all of those who don’t know

Slow Joe and his jab. Joe might have an iron chin, but Usyk had him cringing and covering up. I'm not going to compare Parker to Usyk, but Parker outran Andy. He took Andy's zero and drew the blue print for AJ. If Parker isn't shot, JJ will never find him.

Big Jugs ain't ready for Oilskin's smoke.

Parker wins easily!

I am not sure who I want to win this fight. No idea who is going to win, as I have not analysed the fight.

Parker is on a roll, he fought Derek Chisora head on. Only David Haye & Dillian Whyte have fought and beat Chisora with those type of tactics.

Tyson Fury also fought Chisora head in their fight first. But only two fighters have fought Chisora head on and canceled him out 'Haye & Whyte'.

Parker decked Chisora a few times so, he was in the process of canceling out Chisora's momentum.

This is a must win fight for Joyce. All of the pressure is on him. Parker has already beaten top fighters, and he is the former WBO World Heavyweight Champion.

This is a tough fight to predict. I'm leaning towards Joyce as he seems more consistent. I still don't think Parker has settled into a committed style.

BTW when the hell is Andy Ruiz and Daniel Dubois going to get back in the ring? Ruiz Jr likes to show how hard he's working with Canelo and Reynoso, but apart from a rumour about Ortiz, he doesn't seem to have any opponents locked in.

I loved it when Canelo recently said 'Why don't they fight each other' in reference to fighters waiting around for the Canelo sweepstakes.

In the heavies, it's probably Fury and AJ.

Why is the pressure on Joyce?
Hes not list a fight yet.
its not like if he loses its his career over.

I don’t see Joyce getting Fury. Fury would likely only fight again for the AJ-Usyk winner.

Joyce should win this. Dubois handles parker easily also. Would like to see Dubois and joe have a rematch that was a great fight

Dubois handles Parker easily based on what please.

What part of Dubois amateur or pro career would indicate this?

[Earl-Hickey]

Parker despite being younger is a lot more seasoned, both have very good punch resistance, Parker has a BIG handspeed advantage, Joyce has better work rate.

To me this fight is more about Parker than it is Joyce.

Theres no attribute Joyce has which is levels above what Parker has, they are well matched in most attributes.

But Parkers handspeed is LEVELS above Joyce and if he uses it to his advantage he can make this look like a mismatch.

That said Parker has a remarkable ability to fight to the level of his opponent/under perform.

It's an interesting fight, I'm very tempted to put money on Parker especially if the stoppage odds are good, but he could easily turn up in sleepwalking mode and lose a decision.

I watched a little clip of them both together last Saturday, Joyce looks enormous compared to Parker.

I'm not sure if Parker has enough to keep Joyce off him.
