    The bigger fight would be against Fury. That fight would sell like mad in Britain, and it's a fight I would love to see. I would also like to see Joshua against Wilder and Whyte rematch.

    In order of preference

    Fury
    Wilder
    Usyk
    Ortiz
    Miller
    Whyte
    Pulev

    I'm thinking it's just these 7 guys that are on Joshua's radar atm.

    Vitaly Klitchko.

    Out of all the realistic options, Wilder, [insert any mando’s name], Usyk then Fury if he still got belts and Tyson’s still around. In that order.

    Still think Wilder will take the fight. After escaping with his belts via corrupt judging - he must smarten up and realise he going life and death with top-tier guys and he isn't that good. The safest option would be to cash out against AJ now. The Fury rematch can be done at a later date. The money fight is AJ, regardless whether he wants to admit it or now.

    The best fight AJ could make is vs Ortiz. Its a relevant fight in that Ortiz is a tough talented hw who gave DW a tough fight and AJ can use him to make a statement . Problem is it could be a bad statement. If he struggles or even loses to Ortiz it hurts his career badly. If he wins and does so easier than DW did then it amps up the talk of him being the best hw.

    Any of these 5 I would like to see

    Wilder
    Fury
    Miller
    Ortiz
    Joyce

    I don't want him to fight
    Povetkin, Whyte, Parker - been there
    Pulev, chisora - too easy

    Rest - far too easy

    Although sadly his next 2 fights are probably going to be the Whyte/chisora winner and pulev - boring

    Miller would be the toughest test for him stylistically.

    High Pressure vs Small gastank.

    Wilder. You just know it's going to be great. A KO is guaranteed.

    Wilder, It'd just be a shootout and whoever wins can fight Fury in an even bigger fight after.

    In the meantime and this won't happen at all I'd like to see Fury fight and beat Pulev, avenge his cousin and remove that IBF mandatory from. The table other than for himself.

    Wilder and Fury will leave AJ out in the cold until they feel they have the strongest possible bargaining position when they begin fight negotiations with Matchroom. This will largely depend on the result and success of the rematch.

    Personally, I would like to see AJ v Fury as it would make for boxing history the like of which the UK's never seen. I don't actually see Wilder as being as much of a threat to AJ as Fury given the pitiful boxing display he showed against a 60-70% Fury.

    In the mean time I expect AJ to deal with any upcoming mandos so will likely be Whyte then Pulev, by which time Usyk will hopefully be acclimatised to heavyweight. Miller will doubtless be in line for a shot by then aswell. By this time, Ortiz will be about 60 yrs old and largely irrelevant.

    I’d like to see him fight Usyk. Imagine Usyk holding all them belts...
