And he predicted the 2016 Olympic silver medallist would be too strong for former sparring partner AJ.
Atlas said on his podcast: “If he fights Joyce, he is getting knocked out.
“This man Joyce, is too big, too strong and too tough for Joshua and too hungry right now at this point in his life for Joshua.
“He’s done great things, but he’s not hungry. Like the great Marvin Hagler would say, maybe he’s been sleeping in silk sheets too much now.
“It’s hard to sleep in silk sheets and still get up at 5am in the morning, and do rope work and then get in the ring with another man, who is trying to destroy you.”
Joshua, 32, is coming off two consecutive points losses to Oleksandr Usyk, most recently in August.
But he landed shock talks with Tyson Fury, 34, after Usyk ruled himself out of a unification bout with the Gypsy King.
Negotiations are still ongoing for a December 3 WBC title bout at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Joyce, 37, meanwhile remains an alternative for either British star, although Atlas doubts AJ would accept the fight.
He said: “Joshua would never get in the ring with him. That’s not a knock on him, he’s a smart guy.
“Joshua knows his limitations now, so he ain’t getting in there with Joyce.”
