    I think Joyce would pulverise Whyte and that it's not even close. Joyce is much better

    If they had fought 3-4 years ago I would have bet on Whyte. But if they fight now I only see Joyce winning.

    Strangely, even though Whyte is a few years younger he has been steadily declining since he left Tibbs.
    Joyce on the other hand seems to be improving with every fight. At this pace he might reach his peak at 40.

    Whyte & AJ are bums

    Joyce walks through both or boxes the head off both.

    Joyce has his guts for garters. The 12th round vs Parker would come in the 6th vs Juggernaut.

    From start to finish (7 or 8 rounds) Joyce systematically busts Whyte up badly, even more so than Joyce did to Parker.

    Bad match up for Whyte...

    Whyte couldn't even beat Franklin or shot Povetkin. He'd get KO'd brutally by Joyce.

    AJ stopped Joyce in one round in the amateurs, not bad for a bum.

    Shawn Porter beat Usyk in the amateurs, which goes to show that what happens in the amateurs has zero relevance in professional boxing.

    True but there is a difference between those two fights.

    Usyk was 18/19 in that fight, just a couple of years after he had started boxing, the fight was at middleweight and he lost by a close decision. Most of Usyk's defeats (15 out of 350 fights) came during that period when he was still learning and growing.

    On the other hand, a younger and greener Joshua stopped an older (25/26) and more experienced Joyce at super heavyweight in one round.

    Hearn just bigging up a fighter he promotes

    It's his job

    Deep down he knows it's complete tosh

    Exactly this. Even Hearn himself knows that this ain't true.

    Joyce would send Whyte to a long recovery...

    Speaking if Whyte has anyone actually heard from the guy since the Franklin fight?

    Personally feel he’s only a few fights away from retirement.

    Bit of a shame really, spent all his prime years fighting for interims and chasing AJ or Fury.
