I would like to see Joshua 's opposition upgraded a bit now. Thinking along the lines of Alexander Ustinov Denis Boytzov Manuel Charr Francsco Pianeta Alex Leapai Guys that may hang around and give him some rounds. What do you think?
Apart from Ustinov, Whyte KO's the rest without breaking a sweat. Ustinov just gets a beating, could still suffer a KO, Whyte probably bangs harder punch for punch than Pulev
After winning the British, I'd like to see him fight Teper for the Euro title, then step up to a couple of top 15 opponents before really chasing the top fights.
if fury will have to vacate the IBF, Joshua should target this belt. these are the listed rankings before fury won, only 5 people ahead of him to glazkov, IBF will probably up him to no 2/3 if he beats whyte and eddie pays enough cash. Whether he deserves it not is another matter, he than then hold the belt hostage and keep take learning fights like wach etc Vyacheslav Glazkov 2. NOT RATED 3. Tyson Fury 4. Charles Martin 5. Erkan Teper 6. Steve Cunningham 7. Artur Szpilka 8. Lucas Browne 9. Anthony Joshua 10. Carlos Takam 11. Andy Ruiz 12. Bermane Stiverne 13. Mariusz Wach 14. Kubrat Pulev 15. Andrey Fedosov
Isn't Boystov in a coma or recovering? Charr got KO'd by a Cruiserweight. I'd go for the French guy who Wilder fought or Teper who KO'd Price as first 2 choices then Ustinov or Solis.
It's obviously not who he has fought, but the manner of which he has despatched them as well as the eye test. Joshua has fought a similar level of competition and you think these blokes will just give him rounds, may I ask why? Only Pianeta and to a lesser extent Ustinov like to box, the rest prefer to slug it out. I don't think any of them can cope with what Whyte brings to the table a combination of size, speed, power and toughness
