    Joyce would fight Fury like nobody else, coming forward with constant pressure and workrate. Fury would break his hands trying to level off him....Fury has to revert to a box and move style to beat Joyce or manage to hurt him...

    Very tough fight. Joyce is not to be trifled with or taken lightly especially given he doesn't bring the numbers to make it a worthy risk reward fight.

    6'6" 270 pound of lean muscle mass. Great engine. Great toughness. I keep saying Fury & Joyce are a new meta of heavyweights. Total freaks, but you can't have everything. Joyce sacrifices speed & Fury sacrifices power but their stamina is special for their size. Joe Joyce has traded speed for workrate but he carries power, he's like a HW version of Maidana but Maidana wasn't 40 pounds heavier than his opponents.

    Joyce would hurt fury all over, in my opinion Usyk is an easier fight for Fury.

    I love how we have a fighter rise to the top who is then quickly assumed to be the GOAT HW, then a guy comes along, has a couple of impressive fights and all of a sudden he's 50-50 to beat the guy that they were just calling the greatest & unbeatable.

    And the reason? C'mon, y'all know the words, sing along:

    He's so big! 9'3", stats this, stats that, 700 pounds, so slow he's fast! Stats this, stats that.

    This fight won't happen. I reckon we will see fury vs ruiz or wallin, uysk vs dubois and the winners fight in September whilst aj and Joyce will fight to face the winner if they both win.

    No, he is targeting Charr. He will drop that belt before he fights a live body for less than a 100 million.

    Joyce is not ranked in Top 15 WBC rankings, So technically Joyce cannot fight for the WBC title. Joyce will need to give up his WBO mandatory position.

    Joyce will probably prefer Usyk instead of Fury.

    It wouldn't surprise me that much to see Joyce win vs Fury.

    Seeing Usyk win vs Fury sounded just insane however.
