    If Chisora has anything left, then him. He is tough and comes forward. We haven't seen AJ deal with pressure or fight going backwards, something he will eventually have to do.

    The Price fight would be explosive as it would involve two bangers, but, I don't know if it would tell us much about AJ as it could end very early. Price isn't the most durable so the first big shot AJ lands could end the night. People are saying they want AJ's chin tested, but Price does hit very hard and if he connects properly he could KO AJ. Joshua would then be accused of being chinny, but getting KO'ed by Price isn't necessarily an indication of a glass jaw.

    For me, I would be more interested in seeing how AJ deals with Price's height and jab. Obviously if Price lands and AJ takes it then that would be impressive, but I just find it odd when people say they want someone's chin tested and then suggest fighting a world class puncher to test that chin. A lesser puncher would probably be the safer option to test Joshua's chin since it hasn't been tested at all in the pro's.

    I have only seen a few Whyte fights against limited opposition so I can't really say to much about what a fight with Whyte would prove for AJ, other than revenge of course for the amateur defeat.

    The people on here who have seen more of Whyte, if he hadn't beaten Joshua in the amateurs and their wasn't this beef between them, would Whyte be seen as a viable opponent for Joshua for his next fight?

    Why not? It's one of the biggest paydays available for Price, and I doubt Kalle has plans to build him into a mega star.

    Has to be Whyte, the history between the two of them, the fact Whyte actually fancies it and will have absolutely no fear makes it interesting.

    Would be a great little build up too.

    I agree, the annoying thing is if Joshua blasts him out of there quickly people will just say Whyte is shot anyway and the fight was only made for hype

    I think Price should be saved for a World title fight in 2-3 years when AJ holds one of the belts.
    Whyte, done nothing in the pro ranks to even be in the same conversation as the other two.
    Chisora, my pick. Chisora isn't shot. He lost to probably the 2nd best heavyweight in the World. He's durable, dangerous and should give Joshua some rds.

    I do think the Whyte fight seems to be one that should be built up more, if Whyte is thought to offer a genuine threat to AJ. Shame Hearn didn't sign him and have them fight on the same bill.

    Risk of price doing a Tony Thompson on AJ too high

    Good jab and power, only seen two of his fights and he doesn't have much that stands out, controls range well and strikes me as a very tough guy that has a lot of heart and determination but I think he lacks a lot of skills.

    Same here. Would be interesting seeing AJ against a big guy and big puncher. Absolutely no chance in it happening though so Whyte is my second pick - probably not likely either as if Whyte loses it'd put his career back.

    Knocked down and defeated Joshua in the amateurs.

    Was suspended for 2 years for PEDs while AJ went on to claim the Olympic Gold

    I picked Price as that happens to be the one I'd most like to tune in to watch. For me, AJ wins all of them but steamrollers Chisora with an early stoppage and same for Whyte, who may or may not be good (I wouldn't know), but AJ is just a lot better.
