    Joyce looks shot to smithereens but Whyte is also shot to smithereens.

    It’s a difficult one, but ultimately Joyce reached a higher level of the sport before Zhang destroyed him.

    Did he? Both their best wins are Parker, but Whyte did have a world title fight - I'd argue Whyte reached a higher level than Joyce.

    Whyte went life and death with Parker. Joyce smashed Parker into the middle of next week.

    Also Joyce's second best win over Dubois is better than Whyte's second best win. And then you have the question, what is Whyte's second best win?

    I thought the rumors were that it's wilder v Joyce?

    Whyte the next Joshua opponent?

    Anyway Joyce rolls forward and beats him down

    Shot old wilder takes his head off if he turns up and throws punches.

    How did Joyce reach a higher level in the sport?

    I think Whyte would take him, if he can get himself in shape to fight 12 rounds. If the unfit Whyte turns up Joyce will take over and take him out

    I dont agree either. Joyce may have beat Parker more conclusively but the Parker who fought Whyte was in far better shape

    Yeah but at the same time, Jennings gave Joyce problems and Jennings got beat down and KOd by Rivas who whyte beat, so lots of circling we can do. Not taking away from Dubois win by Joyce was a good win.

    Probably Chisora because let's be honest Povetkin was a corpse of himself even in the first fight. Chisora had a sort of Indian summer thanks to Hayes special juices.

    The ghosts of broke heavyweight legends will be turning in their graves if Whyte gets to add some Saudi sports washing petro dollars to his already inflated career earnings.

    Genuinely don't see how either knocks the other out & I think it's hard for Joyce to win on points as his work is so messy and untimely, think he walks onto about 200 jabs off Whyte and about 40 of his swingers and he Whyte gets a UD win.

    If what we saw at the weekend from Joyce is what we can expect going into a Whyte fight then I think Whyte stops him somewhere around 7/8/9. Whyte doesn't hit like Zhang but I dont think he'd need to, Joyce looks shot, the chin could be breached now and he'll be gassing. Whyte might not be much better but I think he might just be marginally better and the ref mercifully saves the fans any further suffering.

    Ruben Tabares was the common denominator...
