'I would KO Joe Joyce In one round' AJ 2022.

So Joyce ain't beautiful, Rakesh, whaddya want? He's darned effective, the style matchup is good for him and Joshua does seem mentally and morally besieged. I'd decisively fancy Painterly Joe to wear Joshua down and get him out, myself. I get where you're coming from, but guys might just be writing Joshua off with due cause in this case; sometimes happens that the plot thickens and a damn good fighter's time passes, even while still in and around his prime.

 

@Rakesh

A good example would be, say, Danny Garcia. Is he a chump, useless? No, far from it, he's a highly competent boxer-puncher and should represent stiff opposition for anybody around on paper. But he can't buy a win against a top boy these last six years, maybe even closer to a decade depending where you set your standard for that. The plot thickened and his time passed.

 

Competitive? Have you watched the fight? He lost every round! How has he looked more impressive in HW? Scraping against Jennings? Scraping a poor stoppage against Takam? Usyk hasn't had a close fight and is the unified world HW champion

 

You make very good points my friend, I personally see Joshua taking this by a 116-112 type decision with some dull rounds.

But I can see your point as well!

 

Well, he already beat Whyte, Kiwi Joe and Ruiz, which doesn't automatically guarantee he'd beat them again (and Ruiz will always represent a kind of Altamont to Joshua, a dark event which clouded his Summer of Love and heralded extended turbulence), but I'd favor him against all three. Also beats the two Cubans, with Ortiz being spent and Sanchez being no great shakes. That's half the top ten, or just over half, since he can't box himself. The other matchups, outside of Fury and Usyk, are much more intriguing.

 

Bottom line if he actually believed this Hearn would make a fight with Joyce and not a lesser light like Wallin.

 

How about Briedis?

 

Well in fairness...........

He does have a history of stopping Joe Joyce in 1 round lol

 

Apples and oranges.
Nistor stopped AJ in the amateurs,something I cant envision happening now.

 

Did you see Usyk against Witherspoon and Chisora?

Like I said Joyce already showed years ago that he can be competitive with Usyk years ago in a five round fight and one thing Joyce has proven beyond any doubt is that he has very good stamina.

Jennings was a good win too.

 

Briedis fight was close and he's had a few competitive fights.

Also yes Joyce vs. Usyk was competitive he made Usyk work really hard in that fight and pushed the action the whole way. Joyce had only been boxing a few years at the time of that fight.

P4P Usyk is on a different level but in a heavyweight fight Joyce would be a real threat I also personally think Dubois would give Usyk big trouble.

Who did Joshua beat to earn his title shot since people are doubting Joyce's worthiness so much.

Also people are saying Joshua is being doubted because he lost to Usyk he didn't live up to the hype either time vs. Ruin, and retrospectively all his stoppages at world level have come vs. blokes pushing 40.

 

Yeah, very probably with the gloves worn by Resto against Collins

 

You mean the same Takam that took the AJ fight at short notice where the ref had to save AJ with a spurious stoppage. Joshua had gassed & the ref earnt his brown paper envelope dopey boy....

 

AJ thinks amateur bouts convert to pro bout

They are both very different to then. You can watch the bout. A total uneducated slog.

Difference is Joe has become a natural at what he does with chin and stamina

AJ has no chin or stamina and is mentally broken

hence why he takes confidence over an amateur bout

the BIG DUMMY

Joyce beats AJ up

It's like Fury losing to Price as an amateur. Means nothing.

 

That was on short notice so AJ got a complete switch up of opponent, Joycetism got a full camp and a more battle worn takam
