why is Joe Joyce so high rated right now?

Because he's very good, awkward and tough to deal with.

 

Parker has shown a clear ceiling in skill set, potential, and aggressiveness. Joyce has not yet.

 

He is?

 

Stamina, engine, chin, consistency.

 

I like Joyce as a boxer, he goes forward like a bull but has defensive flaws and is easy to hit but I still think he should beat Parker...

 

Because he is British and has a decent chin, which is very unusual as Brits are known to be very chinny.

 

Aside from the things mentioned about him being a good HW who hasn't shown his limits yet.....

Other things have fallen into place nicely to result in him naturally ranking high enough up there.
Whyte, Ortiz, Ruiz Jr, Parker, Pulev have all taken losses recently, some of them are finished or at least on the way out....
Joshua and Wilder have both been proven not to be at the very top end in their recent fights and Joyce is probably the best unbeaten man who still has more to show and is an unknown quantity up at the very top so far.

It's his time coming real soon, so to speak

 

he blitzed wilders go to madatory


ive always said joe is the goods
i remember 4 years or so ago
i said joe walks through wilder
most laughed
not so much any more
and i stand by that statement
the other statement i stand by is
wilder will never fight him
ever

 

Joyce is a top fighter but he's flavour of the month.

If Fury or AJ were to beat him in there next fights for example.... people will soon criticise the win and say Joyce was never good in the first place and hasn't beaten anyone of note blah blah

 

He's big, he hits like a truck, he has an iron chin, he has excellent stamina, and he's relentless.

 

He's been overrated ever since he beat a one-dimensional British-level Daniel Dubois. If the scorecards and referee are fair Parker will beat him. Joyce is slow as hell and has a poor defence which he makes up with an iron chin. He hasn't beaten one top 20 heavyweight yet.

 

Same reason Wilder is/was, he's got power. Unlike Wilder, he's slower but more of a technical fighter with a better jab.
