Number 20 for A. Joshua?

Out of those options Luis Ortiz. I think he would be a nice scalp for Joshua and would be a live dog with a chance to win. But I know this fight is totally unrealistic and won't get made.

Realistically he should fight Parker to get another belt and set up epic unification fight with Wilder. Then Fury next.

 

Wlad Klitchko...why not? i think it will be klitchko's last stand if he goes that route but we get the best fight.

He cant fight Ortiz without getting stripped of the IBF belts.So Pulev has to come first.

Hughie fury would be hilarious and hopefully Joshua fights Parker and wilder while they are still undefeated which is a good chance considering wilder will stay clear if possible from most guys on your list that poses a threat.

we know we will get a whyte part 2 down the road and he still will have ortiz to obligate a fight as well as Tyson Fury. Many fights line up...however only one actually has the best chance of causing an upset and that's Klitchko.

 

Wilder. I want to see knock out.

 

Wlad is the obvious choice, but I'm gonna make the case for Whyte.

You can argue Wlad's best chance has come and gone, Joshua will have improved, Wlad will have aged some more (going on 42, FFS) and I think AJ would come in a bit lighter than the first fight for mobility and stamina. Wilder won't fight him, it's too early for Parker, Matchroom don't want any part of Ortiz right now after two shockers - while they represented him - damaged his reputation in the UK, Haye has one leg, Povetkin has the drugs issue still tarnishing him and Pulev is a no-name easy night's work. H Fury is marketable on the surname, but Whyte is the only fighter to get far enough under AJ's skin to throw him off his game plan.

Could he do this once again, or will Joshua show he's improved his mentality when challenged? And Hearn can sell this fight easily to the general sports fan who are now AJ's target audience. They genuinely do not like each other and sometimes that's enough to close the skills gap. Or Whyte gets blasted out in a beat down....

But the obvious choice is Wlad...

 

Ortiz or Wilder.

 

Ortiz for me. He's getting old, let's see Joshua take on the best version possible.

 

Pulev

 

Im just shocked no one mentioned Usyk,be happy for that bc they wouldnt be trolling they would be serious.

 

Wlad. In Germany.

 

I picked pulev, probably the easier necessary fight. Gets a mando out the way and after last fight I believe a nice easy defense as a reward

 

That would be epic,we would see how Joshua fares in enemy territory where Wlad has even more following than Joshua...dont know about stadium size? But that would be the ultimate setting.

 

Vlad will announce his decision in June....................I expect him to fight the rematch.................Wilder will never go near Joshua, Klitschko, Fury, Parker, Ortiz, Povetkin, never............

 

Joseph Parker would be a great choice. Before or after a Waldo rematch.

We all know Deonkey avoids AJ like the plague.
