Re: Boxing-Joyce v Parker
Agreed, we all see it differently of course.
Usyk's hard to hit and would outpoint Joyce I feel. He slips shots for fun and lands tons of his own from all kinds of crazy angles. There's no way he'd stop Joyce, but I think he'd outpoint him over 12 rounds.
Wilder is the only one who could stop him in my opinion. Joyce is far too easy to hit and Wilder would tee him up like a golf ball and detonate on him for fun.
Joyce does have a head like an iron block, but I'm not sure he could go many rounds being hit that hard, and I can't see him dodging too many of those big right hand bombs.
Fury just runs rings round him and outpoints him. We know Fury has 12 rounds in him all day, and Joyce won't pressure him like he did Parker.
AJ is the most interesting match-up for me by far. I'd still give AJ the edge at this point as he's beat the likes of Parker, Whyte, Ruiz Jr, and gave Usyk a decent run for his money in that 2nd fight.
He's the one Joyce should go all out for though, he's probably the best "way in" as far as putting himself in the best position for a shot at the belts is concerned.
He is now the mandatory for a shot at Usyk's WBO belt, but I can't see him getting that fight anytime soon. Fury obviously gets first crack, so if the Fury v AJ fight falls through, which looks very possible yet again, if I was Joyce, I'd be going all out for a fight with AJ.
That would be a cracker I reckon, AJ has stamina issues that Joyce's pressure would test greatly.
