    You are kind of describing some of the attributes of Fury and Joshua?

    1. Klitchko 25% chance of winning a rematch

    2. Duboi in 20/25 fights. Figure 2020 and really the best bet considering he has youth/talent/size/power...ALL the things you actually need to defeat Joshua.

    3. Wilder ( though chances are he doesnt see rnd 4.) Punchers chance ,big enough to maybe get past 3rnds.

    4.. Fury ( he could last longer than 4 rnds maybe even 10 but has nothing to stop Joshua)

    5. Ortiz. Im not so sure he can actually be a legit threat bc hes a southpaw and moves one way and one speed,this will show you why southpaws are a bad idea against Joshua( though we have the Martin fight to look at)


    that would be my top 5...keep in mind ( because very few understand fighters get better when they have more than 19 fights)that these guys will be fighting a potentially better Joshua each time he fights,for some odd reason most cant comprehend this? lol

    You forgot Parker. He has SPEED which few huge HWs have. Parker is only one inch shorter than Joshua

    well wlad did it , but i dont think he can once again.. therefore i hope wlad elects not to fulfill the rematch. wlad fight some one easy please if you wanna stick around the boxing game .

    so really only guy i believe for sure can hang with joshua is ortiz.

    all the other guys you just dont kno. but i firmly believe ortiz is the best at HW.

    wilder vs anyone im just not sure because he hasnt fought a real champion yet. he almost did vs povetkin atm povetkin was thought of as a clean guy but who soon figured out what he is really about and personally im glad things turned out the way they did. dont fail drug tests in boxing. there no room for that crap if you do it dont ruin the game if your takin anything man you better be passing an just do us all a favor and dont get caught because at least then we just dont know. and there fore it wont hurt us or affect us.

    Klitschko has the best chance ( which he will approve later this year )

    followed by Ortiz and Haye ( both have a brutal knock out power, like Klitschko does )


    then followed by fury and Povetkin ( Fury has reach and good movement but he's not a power puncher, at all. Lol. Povetkin has good technique and hard to deal with given his come-forward aggression and pressure for the whole fight)

    Fury if he's in great shape (highly unlikely though)

    Wlad if he will be as good as he was in their 1st fight

    Ortiz if he looks like vs Jennings and Thompson

    Dubois 5-6 years from now

    That's it

    I think Povetin has a good chance of beating him given that he can be as good as he was pre-ban. Joshua's jab is still a work in progress and he doesn't clinch much so Pov would be able to get off short combos inside. The uppercut could be his undoing though.

    Ortiz and Wilder have puncher's chances, that's about it right now.

    In contrary, Wilders chicken legs will fail him when Joshua lands anything clean on that glass jaw of his.

    Joshua by KO in 1 or 2 (if he shows any mercy)

    Fury in top shape can beat him
    Wilder certainly has a punchers chance I would never count him out in any fight
