    Miller does not deserve the payday, let him stay clean and beat some contenders first. Bakole would be a tough fight with some serious risk, it might do AJ some good to go through a war.

    Yeah I doubt Joshua is going to war anymore. He can't get past that mental block from the Ruiz fight.

    Pains me to say it...but I think Jarrell Miller is a fairly-likely opponent.

    Hearn says he would never work with him again - but don't believe it. It's a sellable fight and low-risk for AJ and that's what matters most.

    Miller, he doesn't deserve a big fight but there seemed to be a genuine edge to that one so would probably get a fair bit of interest.

    Why would he do that?

    Wallin is not a big name, can make lots of fighters look bad, and has a tendency to produce tedious fights.

    What is the upside to that fight?

    I see a plurality of people would choose Zhang.

    That fight makes sense - and I think Zhang would take it without hesitation. Joshua had a decision over Zhang in the amateurs, and it was a competitive fight. Zhang has said he wants to avenge that loss.

    Id be up for a fight with the Real Big Baby Miller. I think theres some unfinished business there and that it would be a good fight.

    I don't think AJ will ever fight southpaw again

    No one. AJ needs to go to a hard place and sort his mindset out. He needs a year out and to disappear and and have it tough somewhere and train and build his mental confidence out. Beating the above will do nothing for his mindset.
