    So we have:

    Tyson Fury
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Alexander Povetkin
    Deontay Wilder
    Kubrat Pulev
    Viacheslav Glazkov
    Malik Scott
    Erkan Teper
    Antonio Tarver
    Jozeph Parker

    I know that Scott, Glazkov and Tarver are way too high and must be replaced by Jennings, Takam and Joshua himself.

    But anyway, how would he do against TOP-10?

    I think AJ does pretty well, winning most by of the fights KO but having tough time with few on that list.

    Even to 47 y.o. LHW Tarver?

    Joshua will run through them like a wrecking machine.

    He beats Teper, Scott, Tarver and Galzkov. Parker is to early to tell. Can't see him beating the others just yet. He is to inexperienced.

    I imagine he will face Chisora next then one of the lower top 10 guys. He needs 3-4 more fights of increasing difficulty before he fights the top guys. He is still young in HW terms and is very inexperienced. No need to rush him just yet.

    I thought you were joking, but I checked and Tarver really is rated as a top 10 HW by Boxrec :lol:

    No one can accurately gauge who he'll beat or lose to.
    Remember, Anthony Joshua had only 23 amateur fights and won Olympic Gold.
    Joshua has a burning desire to learn.

    I think it's due to his LHW career, because at HW it's only win over Banks and draw with Cunningham

    Fury, Klitschko, Povetkin, Pulev, Wilder, Glazkov all beat him.

    Joshua beats Scott and Tarver.

    Teper and Parker could go either way at this moment in time.

    Infact I wouldn't mind seeing him in with a Tarver or Scott next just to see how he copes with speed.

    Klitschko, Fury and Povetkin probably beat him. Wilder is a toss up. Joseph Parker he should win but could lose. Terper gives him a good fight and he destroys the rest.

    Hard to say as he's still a work in progress and hasn't fought anyone as proven as that list of fighters.

    I'd favour him over Tarver, Glazkov, Scott and Teper but the rest I'm unsure of. Parker is an unknown quantity like Joshua so it's hard to say who would win between them now.

    This Joshua hype from casuals is lame

    Fury schools him maybe KO's....
    Wlad knocks him out...

    Joshua still has alot of work to do and he knows it. Still havn't seen many improvement. Bit of a stiff and still hasn't developed the use of his jab. He should have dominated with it from round 1 with Whyte...

    Agree with basically everything in this, I could see him struggling the most with Povetkin in comparison to Fury and Wlad. Wilder vs Joshua would be exciting to say the least, 50/50 at this stage in AJ's career.

    Only The Furious One™ gives him trouble. He beats the rest easy. and I'd pick him over The Furious One™ too.

    Tyson Fury
    He loses to Fury due to having no inside game and Fury having the superior reach. I think he needs to work on both aspects of his skills before going in with Fury because he's not blasting him out.
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Current Wlad, Josh knocks him out early.
    Alexander Povetkin
    He beats Povetkin with his range better than Wlad did.
    Deontay Wilder
    He knocks out Wilder in brutal, brutal, BRUTAL fashion in the 1st round and I would bet money on it.
    Kubrat Pulev
    Good match-up. Pulev is tough and likes to take risks which you need to do to beat current Josh. 50/50 fight for me.
    Viacheslav Glazkov
    He gets brutally stopped before round 3.
    Malik Scott
    Rd 1
    Erkan Teper
    Josh is no Price. Josh can box and move and Teper looks pretty one dimensional to me.
    Josh wins after a few rounds.
    Antonio Tarver
    What!
    Jozeph Parker
    He's no better than Whyte imo
    Josh is on another level.
