# Teddy Atlas Takes Aim At Joyce Abilities And Scolds Whyte’s Performance V Fury

After [Joe Joyce beat Christian Hammer](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/joyce-beats-hammer-with-by-stoppage/) last weekend many questions put to ‘The Juggernaut’ were about him fighting for a world heavyweight title.

The WBO number one contender is in line for a shot at the [Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua 2](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/usyk-joshua-speak-at-first-press-conference/) winner and has even been mentioned as an opponent for Tyson Fury by the WBC champion’s co-promoter Bob Arum.

## Teddy Atlas on Joe Joyce

Teddy Atlas, renowned boxing trainer and analyst, gave his opinion on the potential future world title challenger and was not very complimentary about the 36-year-old when speaking on his podcast [‘The Fight’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWTGSEZWnfQ).

> “First of all, people should know he is an Olympic Silver Medallist. He’s a big, tough guy, there’s no doubt about that. He takes a good shot, and he has to take a good shot because of his lacking of technique in certain areas especially defence.”
>
> “He’s a good puncher, a heavy-handed puncher, he’s not a snappy puncher but he’s more of a clubbing heavy handed puncher and he can wear you down because he keeps coming at you.”
>
> “He’s slow, he’s predictable, he’s one-dimensional, his feet aren’t fast so him and Tyson Fury it doesn’t seem practical. The only thing practical about it is they’re both across the pond.”
>
> “There’s more of an interest over there than there ever would be over here \[in America\]. Even though Fury is known everywhere. Look, they put 90,000 people in Wembley to see Fury with Dillian Whyte. If you could put 90,000 people in a stadium for Fury to fight Dillian Whyte, why don’t they put some people in there to see Joyce too.”

## Atlas scolds Whyte’s performance against Fury

Atlas then turned his attention to [Whyte who put in a poor showing against Fury on April 23](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/dillian-whyte-wants-a-few-more-big-fights-before-retirement/) which ended in a sixth-round knockout for the champion.

> “He \[Whyte\] came so unprepared. It’s like he didn’t understand what he was fighting. Really, it was shocking.”
>
> “He got in there, he had no idea what to do. Go lose, I don’t care but show that you were prepared with what you’re dealing with.”
>
> “It’s like he had no idea of the style, the abilities, and the weapons that he was gonna have to deal with that Fury brought to the table.”
