Regarding AJ. Wilder and Fury are busy. He's already beaten Parker, Povetkin and Breazeale. Ortiz priced himself out, Kownacki and Pulev aren't interested. Joyce and Hrgovic are novices. Whyte is fighting Rivas.
Who would you like Joshua to fight?

This is a pointless fight. Ustinov is completely shot. Joyce will learn nothing from this bout. It doesn’t help his career in any way.

It's a poor match up, but there is a point to it, several in fact. Joyce stays busy, pads his record, gets more media time and will move up the rankings.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 08:31 This is a pointless fight. Ustinov is completely shot.

Point taken, but Joyce can achieve the same objectives against anyone not named Ustinov.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 11:08 It's a poor match up, but there is a point to it, several in fact. Joyce stays busy, pads his record, gets more media time and will move up the rankings.
I agree though.

Fwank has worked with Ustinov before and I think still has part of a promotional deal with him. He's got a good record on paper and he's a big old unit, they are the upside. The down are absolutely everything else.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 11:45 Point taken, but Joyce can achieve the same objectives against anyone not named Ustinov.

Joyce has never seen the end of the sixth round before. Ustinov has never been stopped in under 9 rounds (although he hasn't faced much of a bomber since his younger years when he fought Pulev). I'm guessing that the oldest ever version of Ustinov will at least make it to the seventh round against Joyce, maybe longer. So this fight may be decent prep for Joyce.
At the rate he's going, could Joyce be prepared for a title shot by the time he's 35? (Not to win the title, but just to be an adequately-prepared, deserving challenger.) I suppose he may be.
