but joyce isn't a slugger. he operates behind a active and accurate jab, which is also powerful (see dubois fight). so joyce doesn't require cooperation from his opponent the way you're suggesting. Not saying he beats either Usyk or Fury, but 12-0 is absurd imo.
He isn't a slugger but gets hit a lot (hence all the deserved credit he gets for his chin), he has a good solid jab but his style is pretty rudimentary, let's be honest. It works though, I'm not really knocking it. You know what he's going to do yet he's really hard to beat all the same. I don't think 12-0 Usyk is all that far fetched considering it was 5-0 in the WSB and Usyk has stamina for days.
The one thing that would change in a 12-round pro contest with Slow Joe is that Usyk's punching power isn't going to get the sloth's respect for the full 36 minutes, unlike Joshua, and so I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a come from behind, glacial, slow motion KO
this tyron zeuge fighting now was WBA 168lb champ apparently. and had multiple defenses till he was KOd by rocky fielding
speaks to the mediocrity of the super middleweight division. way too many euro journeymen able to get belts over the past decade.
Joyce is not very good, but I get the feeling he just can't deal with southpaws. He will be "in it" against an orthodox boxer.
Watching Joe Joyce throw a jab to the midsection is like watching a 90 yr old man reach out for his walking stick, except less interesting.
Joe Joyce is ridiculously slow, but he's a huge dude with a lot of heart and a solid workrate, a very uncommon combination. No he's not close to being the second coming of Lewis but I think he's still a very solid contender considering the current state of the division and would love to see him vs Whyte
At least you won't need to wait for the break in between rounds to go to the bathroom.....the break in between jabs will be plenty of time to drain the snake, make some toast, smoke a brisket etc...
I think Chisorah bet on his house again and lost, that’s probably why he really needs the money to fight Joyce. He seriously needs to hang them up.
