    Fury??? Are you taking the ****?
    He has an okay chin.

    Joyce is the only answer from this list

    We've never truly seen Joyce hurt, amateurs or pros

    It might be that Frankenstein monster Joyce, tho that may change once Parker starts tagging him.

    Mariusz Wach, knocked down for the first time this year at the age of 42 and it was due to a rabbit punch from Makhmudov. Fought Wladimir Klitschko, Jarrell Miller, Dillian Whyte, Alexander Povetkin, Martin Bakole etc the stoppage losses were due to punishment he was taking while staying on his feet.

    Joe Joyce and Andy Ruiz are runner ups

    Ruiz doesn’t have the best chin, you must be joking. The guy got dropped by a shot to pieces inactive Chris Arreola. A much better version of Arreola did absolutely nothing of significance to Wilder years earlier.

    Joe Joyce could eat bombs that would knock Ruiz out.

    The same Parker who got knocked down in 8 seconds by shot gatekeeper Derek Chisora?

    Tough group. All are solid but Joyce and Usyk come out on top for me.

    It has to be Fury at this point, whether people like it or not, since he's faced Wlad-Wilder-Wilder-Wilder, eaten bombs in each fight and survived.

    Wlad and Wilder are the biggest punchers in recent times.

    The Joyce talk is ridiculous. Until he's fought punchers like Wlad and Wilder and been hit clean, don't even compare him. Hey, maybe he actually does have a better chin than Fury or anyone else, but it's not proven. Dubious is not Wlad or Wilder and who else is even a KO artist that Joyce has fought.

    All you Joyce fans are quite absurd, really.
    The guy went to the Olympics, is the wrong side of 30, and has one prime fighter on his record in Dubious, himself unproven at top level.
    Joyce is just about to have his first 'top' opponent in Parker, who is probably past his prime now. People complain about the resume of Fury etc., but check this guy out. Fury is about to retire and Joyce hasn't even fought a top fighter yet.

    Joyce would have to be the most protected and coddled prospect/product in modern boxing.

    You forget that Fury is never, ever the best at anything.
















    And yet, world's heavyweight champeen for the better part of a decade now. Go figure.

    It's between Joyce and Usyk for me. But I say Joyce just because he gets hits so much. Usyk showed he could take the odd huge bomb now and again but Joyce can take multiple big hits in a single round and not even notice.

    Joyce protected? Stop it. He'll have his 15th pro fight this month and those 15 fights include Jennings, Takam, Dubois and Parker. Tell me which other current heavyweight had a resume like that after 15 fights.
