Joyce looking way too big and strong and relentless at the moment. I've got him 5-2 now.
 
If Kelly wasn’t such an alco he’d have been ATG
Really good fighter. His fight with Edison Miranda was brilliant. Of course he didn't have have the class against old man Hopkins but generally speaking he was a proper handful. Joyce reminds me of him in how imposing and aesthetically unpleasing he is, but you cannot argue against the fact he imposes himself on opponents.
 
Parker looking quite beat up now. 6-2 Joyce.

This is probably better than what AJ did against Parker.
 
Parker put quite an effort into that round. Not sure if it was enough and it may make it harder to survive the distance. Not entirely sure how to score that one but Joyce certainly 3 or 4 ahead.
 
Parker just doesn't have it in him to stop Joyce's forward pressure, although he does do some eye catching work. Parker probably needs something's dramatic.

Man he was fecked about 4 rounds ago, probably ended his career tonight
 
Wow. That's genuinely impressive from Joyce. What can you say, he's outperformed AJ, he's destroyed a top level heavy with a good chin. Deserves his shot.

It was extremely impressive. Big, relentless pressure, power…..and a fecking stone head. Tough combination
 
Joe Joyce; seemingly like a final level boss on a game. Relentless and immune to pain.

Definitely. Theres not many that would want to face that. Would Fury be a big favourite? Definitely because he has the chin, speed and boxing ability to just outclass Joe slightly. But the rest should be pretty worried.
 
Think Joyce lacks the handspeed to trouble the real top level guys, but he's definitely a 'juggernaut'. Deceptive power, good workrate and just keeps pressuring.

You can tell Parker really didn't enjoy that one. Amazed he lasted that long.

Fury would be a 3:1 favourite I reckon. But I doubt he’d want to fight Joyce over some of the other options he has. Which belt is Joyce mandatory for now? If it’s one of Usyk’s I’ve genuinely no idea how that fight would go down. Usyk outpointing him maybe

Yeah but there's no guarantee the top level guys knock him out with one big shot.

Joshua and Wilder have their own weaknesses. Neither have 12 solid rounds at the pace Joyce sets. Neither like working every second of every round and both can be hurt.

There are pluses and minuses for all of them in my opinion but if they don't knock out Joyce quite quickly they're in a lot of trouble.
 
You can paddle shipmate….I’ll steer :lol: :lol:

Hard to bet against a man with a head like one of those indestructible termite mounds
Only you and me know fighting then Tyson never been intimidated before
 
Fury’s the only guy I’d confidently take over Joyce

Everyone else.. Joyce has a real chance
 
I’d pick Fury and Usyk over Joyce.

His chin, if it is actual titanium might take him past Wilder/AJ potentially.
 
Doesn’t feel as though Fury ever wanted the Joshua fight. Wanted some press coverage and when Joshua called him out, he’s set a ridiculous deadline and called it off. Shame as that could still be an awesome fight.
 
Who do people think is the best modern era champion (anything this century) in terms of fighting the best opponents. Had a look at PBF record and whilst he was a decision machine, the resume is very impressive. Can’t think of a big name in his era he didn’t fight.

Pretty boy Floyd ? He has great names but all picked at the right time. Same with Cancelo.

First name that comes to mind is Froch and his run in and around the super 6. Pascal - Taylor - Dirrell - Kessler - Abraham - Johnson - Ward - Bute.
