    Any combination of Hrgovic, Joyce, Bakole & Dubois would make for a good fight. Ideally it happens and the winnera fight each other, unlikely though.

    I thought the deal was being finalized for Joyce vs Dubois?

    Not happening Joyce is with warren and hrgovic is with Hearn.

    Joyce due to his babe only wats money fights. He’s taking the Dubois fight for a decent payday and nobody’s wants to fight him as the pay is peanuts. I’m still surprised Warren is putting Dubois and Joyce in together as it doesn’t sell out the o2 or do big viewing numbers in the UK as neither are known to the casual fan.

    Warren seems to have a hard time funding fights for decent names they can build them both from but surely getting Povetkin or Chisora for the like of Dubois is a better plan than Joyce

    The value of Joyce to the rabid UK fans will go way up once either Fury or Joshua losses in 2020-2022.

    I don’t see his team risking a big fight until he gets a crack at the title or one of the UK’s top two men looses.

    Then again he is a much older prospect in the rise.

    Wow Hrgović is waaay to easy to hit. Hrgović has a limited amount of punches and not all that good. Hrgović is overrated and he will not go far. He is no Vitali Klitschko that is for sure. Wilder or Joshua would kill Hrgović.

    Joyce will beat Hrgovic with ease. Hrgovic gets hit to damn easy and he throws the same punches over and over. Hrgovic is a Vitali wanna be but he just do not have the skills or punching power. Vitali was taller and was able to avoid punches unlike Hrgovic gets hit a lot. I just do not think Hrgovic chin and skin is going to hold up to all those punches he gets hit with.

    He'll win. Joyce is too slow, and easy to hit. Hrgovic throws good straight punches as well as short hooks to the head or body. We'll see how tough Joyce really is and we will know that as soon as he stops pressing the action.

    Hrgovic isn't a finished product. He could use his legs and jab more than he does, but he's been fighting to impress, not necessarily to win rounds. Joyce is as good as he's going to get, and he's not good enough if this match is made.

    Laughable, wrong, and predictable. Hrgovic has proven to have a grade A chin and has never been cut or floored.

    He's a pure warrior, serious about the game and does some things even better than Vitali himself. Such as body punching, and hooks. Not that you'd notice it, but he also has a better reach ( 82" ) and zero injuries. Few had Vitali's sense of distance of innate ability to avoid a punch. Vitali took a while to develop as a boxer. Hrgovic is still developing. I hope he ruins your heavyweight boxing for 10+ years as the Klitschko's did.

    Joyce would break him with pressure.

    Neither Joyce or Hrgovic have impressed me yet as pros. Both seem very upright and defenceless

    We need a four man tournament just for DDD, Hrgo, Joyce, Bakole.

    That would be fun.
