    I like all of them.

    AJ will batter Fury. Whyte is salivating at the thought of being inside a ring with Wilder the fraud - like a badger with a rabbit, he'd absolutely crush Wilder.

    Povetkin V Ortiz is a good match but I think AP has too much experience and ring craft for the old Cuban dude.

    Ruiz V Wilder. If Andy come in shape he is a different fighter altogether, but yes, an in shape Ruiz baffles and stops the ducker.

    Dubois has done nothing wrong so far, he's a threat to all the guys, he wins this one.


    Joyce Vs Parker: An absolute slugfest. Two tough hombres, hard to pick.

    Ajagba Vs Wilder. Battle of the loose cannons, take yer pick.

    Miller Vs Joyce: ??

    Fury Vs David Price. Fury boxes his ears off but can Price land something big?

    Nathan Gorman Vs Wilder. Gorman wide points UD

      I like Dubois but I just think he's still too green and too young. I think his jab is pretty solid (which is the best thing about him thus far). However, I just don't think he's ready for hard hitters. He has only fought person that can punch back and it was some short/old Ghana man who arrived in the UK a few hours before the fight. And the old man who's not even a heavyweight hurt him a few times in the exchanges. So I'm iffy about him coping well against any puncher who can take his punch and hit back.

      He's also too open to be hit, gets carried away too easily and his footwork is still very poor.

      Frank Warren needs to let him develop properly and not rush him into getting brutally knocked out.

      Joyce destroys Miller.

        Joyce V Miller...yeah I guess you're right. Joyce has done far more to this point and from what I understand about Miller (not that much tbh) is that he's a bit pitty patty - which won't be enough to deter Joyce from just coming relentlessly forward and beating him up.

        I hope Miller gets himself together, we need a good USA heavy to be in the mix and Wilder is utterly done. Mentally and physically he is so far out of depth against any Dubois, Joyce, Hrgovic type let alone a top guy like Whyte or even AJ.

        So...Miller having some presence would be good.

          I see Joyce battering him ,even Jennings was a better match up. You can’t just walk in front of Joyce ,you need some sort of punch deflection abilities if you are going to mimick a tank. Big Baby would get hit with to many bazookas ,he’s all forward motion and bullying tactics won’t work in that one .

            Joyce, the big, very deliberate, changeup* throwing heavyweight who just keeps coming forward.

            He could be a guy everyone is sleeping on. I just think you gonna need more than sheer determination when that bell rings and you are in against a top top dude. But so far so good, his unique, 'slow as molasses' approach has worked thus far. He's a sliver medalist too.
            If it aint broke....

            *Changeup, in baseball, is a ball thrown deliberately slow by the pitcher and it flummoxes the batter as they were expecting something different, faster. Maybe JJ has figured he can just fool everyone by throwing changeups all the time, he is comically deliberate in his work.
