Joe Joyce vs Deontay Wilder in the works for "a summer showdown"

I am not sure how gun shy Wilder would be against such a slow and stationary target.

Joyce can’t just rely on the opponent getting tired by hitting him so often in the fight, then coming on strong.

 

Joyce looked awful slower than ever and that's saying something

 

Yeah it's an unknown mate.

Maybe it was inactivity and he's not shot.

Will be interesting as I believe it's a done deal?

 

Wilder barelythrough a punch VS Parker. If he's that far gone there is no snap to the right hand he's toast to any of the top 20.
That said he didn't look Joyce didn't look great Vs Ali so it's the battle of who is more shopworn. Neither is a young up-and-comer both suffered bad KO defeats. Both can only box one way and their definanty attribute seems missing.

Pick them really. Joyce should push Wilder back, but if Kash Ali can land, Wilder can....

I honestly don't know where i'd put my money. Maybe Wilder - just

 

If my memory is correct at one point the voting was very close.

Apparently that "sparkling" performance by Joyce over Ali has caused a rush of votes for the "what has he got left" Wilder. A win resulting in less fan support. It would be funny if it wasn't sad. I generally like Joe. He's socially awkward and maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed. However, and it's nearly unanimous, he looked slower & stiffer than usual in his recent bout Which is saying something for Joe.

If not vs. Wilder, then Whyte. Hard to pick Wilder-Joyce, but looks like neither will ever win - or challenge for - even one HW belt.

 

Im just thinking about Helenius and or Breazeale for this one. Difference is Joyce will absorb a few more KO punches before he goes.

 

No idea. Depends if Wilder can get his spite/anger back.

 

When you're as slow and easy to hit as Joyce you should stay away from the big hitters. Wilder isn't nearly as skilled as Zhang, but he should be able to land that right hand on Joyce.

 

Wilder is slow or less confident on the trigger but Joyce can't get out of the way of punches and regardless of being a win, this fight this weekend he looked horrendous............I may actually pick Wilder here as you gotta at least be able to get out of the way of Wilder's punches and that's pretty much not possible for Joyce.

 

wilder is a terrible match up for joyce even a faded wilder

 

They are terrible match ups for each other, a high out put, high stamina come forward pressure fighter with a decent (although possibly cracked chin) VS a rangy unorthodox puncher...(although WIlder might have lost the speed and snap that made him dangerous)

I do wonder if Joyce's weight had an effect he's a massige guy but he looked out of shape and very heavy. Hopefully, he comes in a bit lighter for his next fight.

 

Based on Joyce last few fights I'm going for destruction by Windmill.

Joyce has shown no ability/ willingness to adapt and improve on his glaring weaknesses. Wilder will land easily.

 

Joyce can't avoid the big right hand... from anyone. And Wilder has one of the biggest right hands in the division. So unless Wilder literally doesn't throw a single right hand or gets KOed early then he'll be landing his right on Joyce's big square head. I don't fancy Joyce's chances in that case.
