Jaw too strong, they are trying to build him back up to a monster, not remind people he's a one trick pony. Sorry Joyce, you just don't meet the criteria at this present time.

I want that fight so much right now. I hope it happens soon — they’re both getting old.

For the record — if Wilder sparks him out like it’s nothing, I’m eating crow and agreeing he very well may be the hardest puncher in boxing history.

I’d like to see Joyce completely juggernaut him. After years and years of seeing Wilder demolish guys with one shot, and even have Fury badly hurt, wouldn’t it be the most amazing spectacle in our lifetimes to see Wilder’s right hand glancing off of Joyce’s face, like he was punching a steel security door at a bank or something?

If I have to go with my gut, though, I see the fight playing out a bit like Wilder vs. Duhaupas, with Joyce faring a bit better than Duhaupas did.

I think Wilder catches him with some bombs early, and people are shocked as Joyce is wobbled, yet manages to keep his feet and keep plodding forward. I think he has his moments mid-rounds and troubles Wilder (similar to Ortiz’s short-lived successes in their first fight), before Wilder makes a last stand and unloads several right hand bombs and hooks on Joyce, cuts him up pretty bad and puts him on wobbly legs, and the fight is waved off or he retires on his stool — Wilder TKO (or RTD), round 9.

But I would love a Joyce win, and it would probably be one of the most amazing moments in boxing history if he can Juggernaut Wilder, simply because of what we are so used to seeing Wilder do to all his opponents.

Joyce knows Wilder would be tough he admitted it himself in an interview. He said he thinks he could take the right hand but obviously he doesn't want to get hit by it because he knows it could put him out as well. Joyce has a good chin but he only really faced one big puncher in DuBois and although he dominated with the jab he played it a bit cautious, Wilder is faster than DuBois and rangier, it's really whoever lands first. Obviously Joyce is a big guy and has good fundamentals but he is very slow this is truly a 50-50 fight.

Yes Wilder v Joyce is intriguing for sure , can the iron chin withstand those huge bombs?

Just listening to Helenius stating the fact that Wilder has a new look to his style after so many rounds of sparring with him, he said Wilder could never fight going backwards and that's why he chose to try and walk him down as his game plan. I'm wondering if the same fate awaits Joe .......great matchup!

That would be an exciting fight if it ever happened.

Joyce has a very strong chin but no one would want to get hit with too many right hands from Wilder. I would favour Joyce on points or late tko.

Joe Joyce has the strongest chin in boxing and Wilder has the most power in boxing. I want to know which one will win. This would be good.

I would take Wilder by KO in a real thriller.....

To be fair Wilder caught Luis Ortiz with that same exact punch and stunned him in their first fight so I don't think it's exactly new, but he is relying more on his athleticism to set things up from what I saw in training and that can only benefit him.
