I’m not even gona bring the top 3 in to it. Parker, Povetkin, Pulev, Ortiz and Whyte will destroy him. Hughie dances rings round him. Kownacki and Breazeale id have to give them a serious chance.
Joyce is completely overrated, he`s just like a powerful version of Audley Harrison with a much better chin, is that all it takes for some fans to beat a top 10 heavyweight now, I`d give him a strong chance against Miller though.
I don't think too much of him. Slow, defensively open and if he had much power he'd have had Stiverne out way earlier.
He reminds me of Breazeale. He can give most of the top 10 a good fight but it is hard to pick him against more than 1-3
Very true, he’s no good though and things just won’t happen for Joyce - he’s too old. I hope he does well though.
He's big but limited, I think he'd lose to most of the top 10 right now. Joshua, Wilder, Whyte, Povetkin, Fury, Ortiz all beat him. Parker and Pulev might beat him too, though he might be able to outwork them as they lack the really big punch to hurt him. Guys like Kownacki, Miller, Chisora, Breazeale he'd have a chance of beating but they are all risky fights for him.
Lol...at all you guys thinking 90% of the top 10 gets by Joyce. You guys are in for a very bad reality check.... Ortiz beats Joyce? I'll take that bet...Ortiz won't see the championship rounds.
Is he overrated? I think the general Boxing public see him rightfully as a forthcoming, bottom of the top 10/just outside of it heavyweight really. Unless you're listening to channels or promoters who obviously, promote him that is
Joyce lack of defence really did show tonight. At the moment, povetkin and Whyte would brutally KO him. Pulev and Parker would school him. I am stil unsure about Ortiz due to the lack of quality in his opponents. Joyce vs either Breazeale or Kownacki would make for entertaining fights - all offence and no defence. I'd probably still favour Joyce as I believe he throws the better combinations and probably edges the other two for power as well.
