    Ortiz is better than those two for now and Usyk could beat both those guys too.

    Its stacked with guys who don't fight each other, yes. Mandatories aren't being used or fulfilled.

    1.Joyce would batter Miller. Its not even a thought for me to see how that fight goes when Miller does not punch back when more then 2 punches are thrown at him.

    2.Whyte has the most difficulties with pressure fighters, he would have severe difficulties without a good straight right hand keeping Joyce off him

    3. Ortiz gas tank would run out by round 5 with the way Joyce fights. hes to big and powerful in the late stages of a fight for Ortiz to cope with and may not see the championship rounds.

    No. It's probably welterweight. But that division is currently suffering the same problem as heavy.

    They're not mingling.

    Yes that's all well and good but it hasn't happened and Joyce is a prospect not a top 5 but agreed to disagree here

    Joyce is ranked top 10 ( hes not a prospect) !

    He's actually in contention right NOW for a Joshua title fight I WBA and if he defeats Charr its a done deal...this is NOT a prospect. lol

    Whyte and Ortiz are far better than Miller, Whyte`s catch and punch style is something Joyce has not come up against yet and Ortiz is better than both of them, the only way Joyce beats Ortiz is via age, Joyce is a hype job I`m afraid.

    He`s not a legit prospect because of the gulf in class between him and AJ.

    Joyce has done 100's of rounds with Joshua whos a far better catch counter puncher then Whyte. Ortiz has no fights that suggest he is better than them because he has no important wins outside 4 years ago.

    You don't come to conclusions without breaking down weakneses ,which puts Joyce over them. his only real weakness is open defense,which we all know he can take a punch and makes up for that with work rate ...NULLIFYING the others strength s while exploiting their weakness.

    I'd love to see Joyce vs Chisora, lets see where Joyce is at.

    Whyte vs Joyce would be a great , toss up fight. Whyte is solid but he's looked unimpressive in a few fights to me (Helenius, Chisora 1+2). Not convinced he beats Joyce.
