Efe Ajagba is returning this month, most exciting heavyweight that even both Joyce and Dubious would bitch out on same night. :TU: :TU:

I like the proposed Wallin V Breazeale fight.

Would also love to Ruiz v Wilder.

As you serious dude? Ajagba looked rubbish in last fight and hasn’t really impressed since turning Pro.

Dubois, Ruiz, Whyte, Kownacki, Washington, Wilder, etc.
All need to pack on a win or two and soon.
You don't want to ride on a loss to long.
Or jump into another one back to back.

He changed team and trainer. He looked soft at weigh in and probably needed to adjust different per his new trainer wanted , so he was bit hesitant to fully trade punches with johnie rice who isn't a walk over and came prepared

Efe is miles from being top HW. I"ve been on the bandwagon since he went pro, but his last several outings has tarnished my thoughts on him. "a bit hesitant." c'mon man.

Ajaba strikes me as one of those unpredictable type of fighter, capable of all out war or complete snooze fest depending on how he is feeling on the night. A bit like Chisora in that sense (although with a completely different style, obviously).

He still has a lot to learn. So far, his power, size, and athleticism has seen him through. He has SOME skills, but a ways to go. I think he can still learn, unlike Wilder.

Hey go easy on boxtune, he is a real asset to this forum. Just imagine how dull it would be if everyone on here were sensible, intelligent and knew what they were talking about. Big props to you boxtune for providing the light relief around here :TU:

As to the OP's question if indeed that's what it was ...

I've probably got more respect for Joe Joyce than almost anyone on here, in fact I'm struggling to think who on here might have typed more kindly about him. The one massive blemish as I see it, is the WSB masterclass by Usyk against him. Usyk made Joe look like an arthritic donkey with three legs. I know it was only five rounds but Usyk is known for his engine: I'm not sure Joe would have done any better over ten or twelve rounds. Different times n' all that but I can't forget how easy that was for Usyk. I'd have to pick Usyk but then again I would say that Joyce is better than Chisora and Dereck gave Usyk some problems at least in the early rounds.

It's a pick 'em fight but I fancy Joshua to knock out Fury. Wilder is the harder one punch hitter but Joshua doesn't throw one punch. If you are fast, mobile and you know how to box, it's easy to keep clear of the big right hand but when your opponent has a big right hand, as well as a fine jab, an ability to throw hooks and uppercuts to head and body with both hands, can box at range going forwards or backwards, has an inside game, and is adept at controlling the distance, that is a whole different ball game. Fury is a fine fighter but he's been put on a pedestal as a result of crushing a long time champion who had never been tested at the highest level, and who was ultimately not as good as many had been led to believe. Joshua is a totally different proposition.

Wilder v the voices in his head? Well ... Joan of Arc did pretty well after she began hearing the voices in her head. She was a pretty ferocious pressure fighter constantly forcing back the opposition. Admittedly her career was not a long one, came to a rather abrupt end, and we won't dwell on what happened to her after that, but she's gone down in history as a national heroin and a French ATG. Maybe there's hope for Deontay yet :D
