    Who would you like to see AJ fight next? I'd like to see him fight Ortiz, Duhaupas or Browne.

    Can't fight PED cheat Ortiz or PED cheat Browne because they hold WBA paper belts and not ranked with the IBF.

    Duhaupas is a bum.

    The correct answer is The Hayemaker.

    Winner of Wlad/Fury or Povetkin/Wilder. Any other fight is pretty much pointless. I am sure he will end up fighting Haye or the Pulev/Chisora winner though.

    Haye or the winner of Pulev/Chisora. Preferably the matter giving Haye opportunity to beat a ranked opponent.

    Tyson went on a tear of quite a few paper defences before he took on the lineal Champion.

    I'd probably map it like this:

    Pulev/Chisora
    Hate
    Fury
    Wilder/Povetkin

    Yeah, I would like to see him in against Fury.....although I am picking Fury to lose against Wlad. Would like to see him fight the winner of Pulev/Chisora. Believe he would beat either of those. Am thinking Wlad might retire after fighting/losing to Fury.

    Ortiz wouldn't beat him. But he is one of the very few fighters on the planet who could even make it a somewhat competitive fight.

    So from that standpoint it would probably be the best fight that could be made now for AJ if the goal is to see him challenged.

    David Haye, put him into retirement.

    If Haye wins his next fight and beats Briggs, I'd like to see him against Joshua.

    Winner of Povetkin/Wilder would be a great fight.

    Fury Vs Joshua ain't happening for at least two years. Pencil it in for summer 2018. They don't want to blow their load too soon, this is going to build for a few years yet.

    He isn't ready, only had 16 fights, give the young man a chance to enjoy his title.

    He can, if Cunningham can land on Fury so can AJ.
