    Now THIS is a matchup. A highly technical fighter vs. A fighter with an iron chin who won't stop coming after you.

    Who wins?

    It would be the same as the WSSB fight they had,Usyk has the skills and movement to negate Joyce. That being said is Usyk still capable or could Father Time be catching up with him as well as Joyce,surely he can’t keep eating clean shots for fun as part of his defence,not that Usyk has the sort of power to trouble Joyce .

    Well, yeah, but WSB fights are only 5 rounds. It's MUCH harder to win a 12 round fight.

    Lame fight. I hope it ain't happens. Usyk by Decision. Footwok wins.
    - Usyk won in 2013 (Joyce was way faster than nowadays)
    - Usyk already defeated AJ twice & AJ is faster than Joyce

    Joyce Fury would be more entertaining.

    You have to favour Usyk based on their WSB fight.

    I think Joyce has a better chance now as a pro, he's bigger than before and in a 12 rounds fight maybe he can come from behind and win the fight in the 2nd half. Usyk is also heavier and older than before he might not be as able to keep Joyce off him as he was back then.

    But I think in the end Usyk will win a decision. He has a very good chin like Joyce and his movement and counters will just be too much.

    I just hope it happens because I suspect it would be a very good fight.

    Not if your Uysk it isn't. If anything it's harder on Joyce. Uysk gets stronger as fights go on and almost always lands at a higher connect percentage later in fights while throwing more punches.

    Usyk has excellent stamina, as you can see in his past two fights.

    He would do even better against Joyce in a 12 round fight, sweeping the later rounds as he did with Joshua.

    Would Joyce's pressure affect Usyk in the later rounds, in their WSB fight, Usyk looked fresh after 5 rounds so I have full confidence he'd last all 12 and probably win 117-111 116-112 type decision.

    No it wouldn’t

    Now weighing 225lbs, Usyk can’t move that way for 12 rounds against a fighter who makes you fight for every second of those 12 rounds
    Joyce is far better than he was then, bigger and more experienced too.

    it’s a good fight but nothing like their previous encounter

    Usyk too busy and has the skills
    Wouldn't risk my mortgage on it mind you

    I think Joyce beats Aj and Fury

    Right now i make only Fury Heavy favourite against Joyce, and Uysk slighter favourite. Everyone else could get squished.
