    I suspect Joe Joyce's chin is as good as Andy Ruiz Jr's chin. At 6 ft 6 inches and 260 pounds, is Joe Joyce a modern day George Foreman?

    I think Joe Joyce can give Joshua and Fury a run for their money.

    Maybe he's the best in the world, I actually have a bet with my brother that he'll beat Usyk (and I like Usyk), I think he'll be a top guy for the next several years, I think maybe he could pick up that Ring heavyweight championship, too.

    The Guy is average at best a slow plodder, never seen the hype in him. Even serial loser Chisora could beat him

    Usyk will box his ears off. But I like Joyce, too.

    I agree, I think he will beat Usyk, and get revenge for loosing to Usyk in the Amateurs. After I saw Usyk running from Chisora for 12 rounds, I think that a juggernaut like Joyce is all wrong for him.

    Fury would toy with him

    I'd like to see how well he fairs fighting AJ like he did Dubois

    Chisora will never be able to beat Joyce let alone stop him

    If the right fight comes along Joyce can win a version of a World title

    He would give AJ and Fury a hard nights work that's for sure

    I don't see why people rate Chisora so highly? Chisora can only fight going forward, and against a 260 lbs juggernaut like Joyce, Chisora will only have one gear: reverse. It will be a mismatch, Joyce is too big, too strong, and an unstoppable force in the ring.

    Correct. Any tall strong fighter who weighs more than Chisora and is not intimidated by his antics will beat him 10 out of 10 times.

    The only tall strongish heavy fighter who Chisora can beat is Gerald Washington, since Washington will be intimidated by Chisora, just like how he let the bully big baby Miller intimidate him.

    Joe Joyce's slow hand speed is deceptive because he has pretty quick feet supporting it. Hypothetically if Fury or Joshua loose one of their world titles after this undisputed fight i can see Joyce catching it. He's a very seasoned fighter and and would either beat or give most top 10 fighters a hard nights work except Fury maybe ?

    He could go 12 rounds with Joshua and Fury but lose on points. Wilder KOs him.

    Anyone else, Joyce has a good chance of beating.

    I see Joyce as being just behind Fury and Joshua and capable of beating the other top contenders. He's big, tough and clever with a good Boxing brain.
    If a version of the Title becomes available, Joe would be one to avoid.

    He'd batter Whyte imo. Somebody like Whyte is perfect for him.
