Joe Joyce

[Alzi]

Can anyone knock Joyce out? Wilder?

I can see Fury and Usyk outpointing him but I can't see anyone else beating him.

Joyce walks down Wilder in my opinion. He’s much stronger and does some serous damage.

Only thing against him is his age. Don’t think he’d be fast enough to bother Fury or Usyk too much. I think he takes apart Joshua though.

Joyce has obviously come on but he has been schooled by usyk in the past

Yeah I've seen that fight before, like you say its a long time ago but that's one of the reasons why I picked Fury and Usyk to beat him on points.

You can tell when watching Joyce that a mobile fighter could box rings around him. The Fury that beat Klitschko for example would just be too fast and hard to pin down. The Kronk Fury doesn't beat Joyce but I think Fury would be smart enough to box and move against Joyce.

As for AJ and Wilder, I could see both landing some absolute bombs on Joyce's chin and still part of me wonders whether one of them could hurt him. But I don't think either have the gas tank to live with his work rate.

At best 7-3 to Joyce heading in to the 11th no more than that. Joyce was out working him, hurting him - pretty much dominating. Parkers work rate wasn’t there - clearly trying to nick the rounds with some “good work” in the last 30-45secs of each round but it wasn’t good enough as Joyce was throwing more back in return and more than taking Parkers power shots.

weirdly Parkers work rate is usually very very good, but he was blowing after 2 rounds, it just shows what a different level Joyce's work rate is at.

Only Wilder in my opinion and we have no idea what's left of him after the Fury trilogy, he could be absolutely cooked at this point.

I suspect he will be because he looks punch drunk by round 2 in most of his recent fights.

They could but, devils advocate, Joyce won't stop coming forward and the work rate required to do that over a 12 rounder would be off the charts, Fury likes his little spells of rest, he wouldn't get that, and Usyk would need to stay on his toes for 12.

Joyce has a knack of closing peoples eyes too, or at least puffing them up with that jab, moving and avoiding shots when your vision is impaired can't be easy
