    Who does everyone think AJ will be up against in July before a likely big fight in September?

    Johann Duhaupas would be good as he hasn't been stopped yet and beat Charr last time out. However I suspect we are looking at a level below him as it's a tick over fight.

    Andriy Rudenko is a decent enough test as a keep busy.

    I think we will see a step down from Johnson for that fight to be honest, I am surprised that they don't just wait for a big fight in September to be honest.

    he'll fight a stiff in Manchester and then probably Thompson in September.

    Personally id like him to fight Thompson in Manchester (July i think) then Dylan Whyte in September

    aj vs tony thompson is a super fight.....i wouldn't mind david price either but the only problem with that is that it won't give aj any rounds

    Zavorotonyi or somebody of that level imo before Price/Whyte/Chisora in September.

    I agree with the names mentioned but think he should fight Whyte first as it's the easier fight

    The later it goes the worse it'll be. Anyone really good would be announced fairly early

    It'll not be anyone too tough as there supposed to be a big fight in September.

    July will be nobody of note. He should be atleast fighting the british heavies so we can quantify his performances. Why step up against Kingpin, blast him out in 2, then go back to the level below?

    How about Teper for the European belt?

    It makes sense, can't get better than this. I can't see the other names accepting the fight on short notice.
