JJ v Whyte is a fight that would have been massive 3-4 years ago.... now it is a battle of the broken but still could be fun.
Whyte can bang and has decent jab and left hook but chin is sus
JJ while his chin has been cracked still takes a whack, his one punch power I think is less than Whyte but his output and thudding power could be the difference here.
JJ still probably has ambitions to take on a belt holder while Whyte is trying to get a last decent paycheck to add to the millions he earned over the years being the can man.
JJ slipped up facing Zhang before he reached the big paydays (although Im sure he isn't skint) so the motivation should be stronger than Whytes
Joyce by late stoppage

A toss up fight. But if Chisora can beat JJ, think what Whyte could do to him. I'd take whoever gave me the odds.

I think AJ fights Chisora to try one last time to get his career back on track. I think he'd be too fast for Chisora.

I think Delboy has aged better than DW
Whytes inactivity through bans and KO's has cost him...if they fight again Del wins

Matching up some of these fighters—like Whyte, Joyce, Chisora, Joshua, Wilder, etc.—against each other could make for a nice little round-robin. A heavyweight-style WBSS featuring second-tier contenders.

Hopefully for the sake of his health Del gets to 50- win ,lose or draw quits....probably won't
The others yes - all should be 2-3 fights away from the end of their careers so a tournament between them would be fun and $
None should be in consideration for any title challenges anymore

I think Turki had an all heavyweight card several years ago. He needs to do it again with the guys mentioned above.

I've heard calls for all of them to hang 'em up.
