Fury, Wilder, Usyk and I'd include Joyce as well. AJ looks tentative when throwing shots, the confidence isn't there.
AJ needs to pack it in. A decent guy but one fighting 'not to lose' and afraid of doing the chicken dance. Going on will spoil his own legacy in the sport.
How many of us still believe Joyce would beat Joshua ? I still think Joyce would have a decent chance against THIS version of Joshua as of now. However, I’d make Joshua the slight favourite now. What tonight has shown is that Joshua deserves a lot more credit and respect to be honest. His win over Povetkin has been criminally underrated to be honest, as shown tonight with Zhang’s performance against Joyce.
AJ 6 years as a pro, multiple world champion, 24 fights beating 5 top 10 ranked opponents. Joyce 6 years as a pro, 17 fights, no world titles, beaten 1 top 10 fighter. Dubois 6 years as a pro. No world title, 20 fights beaten no top ten fighter. The fact that anybody even questions Joshua's activity and accomplishments but say nothing when it comes to others in the same time frame is really quite absurd. Joshua is on another planet and the Franklin fight in no way made it look like the likes of Joyce or Dubois would beat him. Those guys havent done anything to suggest that to be the case.
Joshua overwhelming favourite IMO and it’s an unashamed flip flop in opinion from me as I said in the RBR. It’s mental that Joyce came in lighter against ZZ yet looked EVEN SLOWER. So long as AJ believes in himself and doesn’t box on the outside his handspeed is just way too much for Joyce and AJ does hit hard. Based on what we just saw, Joyce v AJ ends within two rounds.
Only Fury and Usyk. People are so dramatic. Joshua has lost to a lb for lb great. Who even Fury is scared of facing. He doesn’t deserve to be written off for them two losses nor his Ruiz loss he avenged.
But Tiresome beat Chisora and Wilder 3 timez!!!! Hes amazing. Zzz. Can only imagine of the heat on here if AJ lost to Zhang. Zhang would be labelled a old man. Now? He's some talented fearsome hitter type boogeyman. Nobody even heard of him unti 12 month ago.
Fury, Wilder, Joyce, Usyk, Ruiz, Franklin, Zhang smoke him He still has enough left to smoke Dubois, Whyte, Miller
The only 3 that matter (Fury, Usyk, Wilder) all beat him. The rest, including Joshua, are as average as each other with the only difference being that some will quit and some won’t.
