Joshua: " I see as my future heirs in the HWs Tony Yoka and Joe Joyce"

That's the sound I make when something is too heavy for me to lift.

 

Joyce was schooled by Usyk in WSB, and I'm 100% sure he will get schooled again in HW. He didn't name DDD because he was knocked out cold by him in sparring. they have a beef. And he means Heir to Ruiz's throne.

 

Not only schooled by Usyk also totally destroyed and stopped by Sergey Kuzmin within 30 seconds and 2 Knockdowns before the ref waved it off because of "outclassed" and "too much punishment". Joyce will get battered sooner or later. He's a slow robotic pressure fighter with ppor defence. He wins those type of fights he's fighting right now but once he steps up the level of competition he'll get trashed. I think Dubois has a good chance to beat him right now.
And Yoka is a hype job and will get exposed definitely more sooner than later. Give me a heavy handed crafty and young southpaw and Yoka will kiss the canvas. Look what Price did to Allen and Dimitrenko unfortunately is a quit job these days. He shouldn't fight anymore. Those fights are telling us nothing about Yoka. And Yoka's gold medal was a fluke and robbery. He didn't win the final.

 

Kinda odd naming a guy who’s 4 years older than you, and has about that much time left in his career, as your “heir.”

 

Na. Hrgovic and Dychko both KO Yoka and Joyce. Usyk probably UDs both as well. Ajagba and Mahkmudov are the competitive fights vs the supposed heirs .

 

The bodybuilders ready to throw in the towel it seems. Shame, the bomb squad were looking for a new lacky to mop the floor in Alabama s finest gym. Lol

 

A lot of people here have completely underestimated Yoka's potential. Dave Allen has been in the ring with Whyte, Ortiz and Price, has sparred Joshua and Fury. He has said repeatedly that no one hurt him like Yoka did. Yoka has destructive power, he has a good jab and he is a good athlete. He's going very far in boxing. People just don't like him because he was arguably gifted a gold medal but he would completely school Joyce in a rematch in the pros IMO. Unlike Joyce, who I have a soft spot for, Yoka has hand speed, throws far better combinations and his jab is miles better.

As for Joyce, Joyce is probably at or maybe even past his prime now. He is too slow, shipped so much punishment from an obese Stiverne. His chin will crack eventually and he'd get outboxed by anyone with speed, good movement and the power to stop him from just driving forward like a big lummox.

 

"All I see in my future is a wall that looks a lot like a boxing canvas...."

 

Isn't it VERY early for Joshua to be considering heirs? Does anyone care, especially given he got blown out of his title?
