    These two fought in the WSB before, but who would win in the pros? Usyk is unquestionably the better boxer, but Joyce has an iron chin, great stamina, and hits REALLY hard.

    I don't think much of Joyce.

    Usyk should win a comfortable decision.

    Joyce is way too slow to catch Usyk. He gets clearly outboxed.

    Joyce is one of the most overrated fighters in the sport since beating Dubois.

    Can't see Joyce winning much.

    Usyk wide UD.

    I like both but there's too much a speed discrepancy for Joyce to overcome Usyk on points.

    Usyk on points but Big Joe's combination of size (let's not forget he's an absolute beast of a man), chin and durability, strength, power, insane engine and work rate, and of course his elite of the elite level slow-fast speed and mummified British Slickness are a nightmare to deal with and if you ain't got the power to take him out you better make sure you're a master boxer like Usyk and have hell of an engine yourself because if you don't he will either roll right over you or take you into deep water and drown you.

    He isn't easy on the eye, looks slow and ponderous and even when you see him hitting pads you'd certainly think he isn't all that....

    Yet he is just so damn effective and breaks people up.

    Strong, rough, tough, great engine and durable.... he's giving anyone a tough night. I know Fury for example has sparred many rounds with Joyce and speaks extremely highly of him.
