    Joe Joyce vs Anthony Joshua is a possible replacement if USYK is out. How does this one go?

    AJ gasses trying to knock Joyce out, then Joyce stops AJ. Afterwards Joyce mumbles incoherently for 3 weeks.

    AJ is faster and more athletic, and there's no way JJ can outbox him. AJ by UD.

    AJ isn't that stupid. AJ has outboxed opponents before. AJ can easily outbox Joyce, just like he did to Parker.

    It will be an interesting fight, AJ wont knock him out, but will beat him via UD.

    Even of Joyce has a McCall like China, AJ to fast and Joyce is far too open defensively - would be putting 3 or 4 punch combos for every 1 Joyce lands. Considering that it's would hard for Joyce to get past 7 rounds with AJ. If Joyce does manage to do so and drags this fight into the latter rounds Joyce engine and work rate could see him take advantage of AJ lack of endurance and stop AJ late.

    I'd be rooting for Joyce in a potential fight but I think AJ wins.

    Both big super heavies. So no size advantage to either. Give the edge in boxing agility and speed to AJ. Would give a big advantage in punch resistance and endurance to Joyce.

    50/50 fight at this point. A few yrs ago would have said Joshua all day but think he's too fragile and his gas tank is shockingly poor, that levels it out for me.

    Two Usyk victims battling it out to occupy the bottom 5 of the division. Great fight.

    Joyce eats all of AJs best shots and mentally breaks him

    Would depend on if Joyce can cut the ring off and get Joshua in exchanges. If he can AJ goes out in around 6 to 8 rounds.

    AJ by clear decision - he would get the better of Joyce catching him cleanly.

    As much as Joyce has a solid chin no man can just eat these shots without it at some point detaching you from your senses so an AJ stoppage isn't beyond the realms here.

    AJ's decline is going to be like a cliff fall.

    Getting knocked out by every man and their dog

    Too many AJ haters that also shows how little boxing knowledge they had. There is levels to this. AJ will murder him. And 80% of me believe AJ will KO him, no matter the chin. AJ operate with combos and Joyce chin won't be enough. But that is a god damn good fight and i hope its happen.
