Joe Joyce vs Anthony Joshua

AJ one sided beat down.

 

Joshua on points in a good fight, the speed difference would be too much.

 

AJ on points in a very competitive fight

Wouldn't shock me in the slightest however if Joyce gets to him late in the fight

 

He’s way too slow to be competitive with Joshua. AJ 118-110 type job or late stoppage. Joyce doesn’t have the reflexes to get out of the way of a right hand to save his life.

 

The people voting Joyce to win must be voting on spite rather than logic. Joyce isn’t on that level and will never be. Dubois was a hypejob a wish version of Joshua. AJ would batter the both of them on the same night.

 

Totally disagree and tbh he don't have to get out of the way too often

His footwork is good and he rolls out of the way of shots well

He also has a chin of stone

He makes AJ work all night

 

Not at all

I highly rate Joyce

Always have done

Not everyone who says anything negative against AJ is a hater

Your too defensive

 

Haha tbh I just can’t see him winning at all. I think Michael Hunter would also beat Joyce. He’s just not on that level whatsoever.

 

Sorry fella, you are very wrong on this

Joyce might not please your eye but he is criminally underrated

In the right pathway ,can win a version of a World title

 

At 35, Joyce is almost at the age that AJ likes, but still a little young. Maybe another couple years?

Unless they're a nobody or have a belt (eg, Parker), AJ really likes those older, 37-42 guys, like Povetkin, Takam, Wlad, and Pulev.

 

Honestly mate he can’t get out of the way of a right hand to save his life. His guard looked leaky and his hand speed is abysmal. He’s cannon fodder for Joshua, Fury and Wilder. He backs his chin way too much. Dubois always had very overrated power and Dorian Darch admitted that. He said Dubois doesn’t have the concussive power people think he has and in his words “AJ hits a lot harder.” Joyce can’t take Joshua and Wilders best shots for too long. Fury wouldn’t lose a round.

 

Joyce could be 25 and AJ would still murder him.

 

Joyce is an ATG eye test fail. There's literally nothing about his style which looks good. But it is effective. So far.

I'd favour AJ but Joyce has some qualities which would raise concern for Joshua. One is a granite chin. It's better than AJ's. The it's his work rate, punch output and stamina. Again better than AJ's.

Of course, Joshua could knock him out and do it early. But if he doesn't, if the fight goes longer the odds swing back closer to 50/50 because Joe wouldn't let AJ have the kind of breathers he had against Pulev. Yes, Joyce is slow but Adam Booth from the brief time he trained him said his footwork and positioning is high class and they are the reasons why his lack of speed is not exposed in the way you might assume. The question mark surrounds all this when he steps up in class.

It's a fun fight. I'd like to see it...

 

Who doesn't AJ murder in your view?
