Why is Joe Joyce getting rated so highly?

I think it's his style to just come forward and take all kinds of punches and still beat the **** out off everybody.


I would really rate him even higher if he takes Zhangs biggest punches and still be ok

 

Because he doesn't avoid anyone, unlike Fury he is willing to fight anyone, why would anyone consider him overrated if he is not, he deserves a fight with Usyk and not Fury...

 

The big names have been avoiding him.

Joyce was until recently high risk low reward. Since the Parker fight Johnny Casual has realised he's actually really good (having mocked him for years) so there's a bit of money in fighting him. But there was no way previously anybody was going to risk getting pummeled for relatively low PPV buys.

 

Joshua hasn't fought a big guy besides Wladimir, who nearly KOd him. Against Pulev, Povetkin and Ruiz the second time, he relied hugely on range to get the job done. I don't necessarily think Joyce would beat AJ, I'm just saying that Joshua, who recently has been reliant on range in all of the fights he has actually won, probably isn't "built" to fight taller heavyweights. Additionally, Joyce has a good jab, even if he's slow.

Cause he is from the UK

 

Because of the poor state of boxing.

 

To paraphrase Terry Crews in those Old Spice commercials...

PA-PA-PA-PA-POWER!

 

Get real. Ortiz has only ever lost when fighting someone who isn't a bum

 

No, he was rated the lowest ever known - 7%. By the noble team of Usyk.

 

Moronic statement in any context and lacking all self-awareness considering you were boosting Dubois!

 

Lerna is better than anyone Ortiz has beat. Would probably beat Ortiz too

 

Joyce is 36 and the biggest name on the resume is Joe Parker who no one rates?

 

He's proven to be a solid contender and if he beats Zhang, that can't be denied.

 

He's the only one that KO'd Dubois and Parker and has like a 90% (T)KO record
