    Thompson is next from all accounts if Price turns it down.

    Managing it's quite a bit easier if you got such a powerful and talented HW

    I'm not basing my opinion on triangle theory, although this did support that Joshua is a level above Fury (a full three levels above Johnson, while Fury is more like 1-2)

    Look at the guys that have wobbled or troubled Fury in the pros. Embarrassing collection of names. Look at the specimen we just saw in action. If you're getting put in dire straits by fat journeymen and shot blown up cruisers, this guy is going to annihilate you.

    A young, super-fit, powerful, quick, relentless, sharp & skilled large-sized heavyweight in his absolute prime? All wrong for Tyson Fury.

    :yep
    Thompson is slick and durable. I also love a Chisora or Price match.

    I'm happy Joshua is performing fantastically. He's far more fearless than Price and exciting, can't wait to see him destroy David Price who has a decent jab and nice right hand but is tepid as hell, and carries glass in the chin. I wonder whether Haye will ever come out of semi-retirement and call out Joshua, apart from Tyson Fury he's the only one domestically who can test Joshua. Hughie Fury might go some rounds but Joshua is clearly a level above in terms of power. Whether his chin is any good - who knows, but his power is on Wilder's level so he hasn't been tested yet because of it.

    I think they should get Sherman Williams or Wach, Either of them will definitely give Joshua rounds

    come on... that fight was only going one way.

    having said that, if johnson bothered to fight back the ref might have let it go on.

    Thompson or Wach would be a good next step for AJ.

    I'm still not a believe in AJ. He's damn good and would stop Fury, but.......he loses to Deontay, not a hipster pick, a fact based pick.:deal
