I cant imagine he beats Aj, Fury, Wilder or Ruiz. He looks too sluggish and just lacks the sharpness. I’m not sure he beats old ass Ortiz either. As good as his resistance seemed, not sure I’d pick him over Whyte either. Once you reach the upper parts of HW, doesnt matter how amazing your chin is. You cant let anyone hit you that much.
Joe Joyce is now the 3rd best heavyweight in the world

I don't think Joyce is impossible to outbox or anything, he is after all spectacularly slow. I also don't know his chin is impenetrable when the best puncher he's faced is Dubois, who was unproven himself. I'm not saying Joyce isn't effective and doesn't provide almost unique challenges in today's heavyweight division, but let's see him fight somebody coordinated, who can box or at least move. His defense against top fighters is also a question mark.
Parker would be a real test. I think Ruiz would too with his fast hands and ability to put punches together. Ortiz is much more technically skilled, however given Joyce's engine that'd be an interesting fight. Joyce vs Usyk would be a great test for both guys. I'm not sure how a Whyte fight goes, but I might slightly favour Joyce to get to him late on in that one.Comment
