You know even has early as it is for Anthony this would be a fantastic learning but hard fight for him
Really not sure on this one, Joshua hasnt been past 6 rounds has he? Chisora will not stop coming for him, but then we would find out just how strong that jab of Joshua is, if its enough to put Chisora off constantly walking him down i could see him outpointing Dereck.
Chisora would beat him just now IMO. Chisora has been in with the best of the division and is a hard fight for any heavyweight. In 12 to 18 months time we'll see if Joshua is ready for someone like Chisora.
If it went past 4 or 5 rounds I could see Chisora taking it, not sure his chin could stand up to some of Joshuas power shots though in the early rounds. Be interesting to see how Joshuas chin holds up against MUCH better opposition to be fair
I would say Chisora is way to experienced for him at this point, Joshua looks to have a solid chin but hasn't been in with anyone that would tag him as much as Chisora would. On the other hand Derek has looked easier to hit in his last few, plus haye seems to have really broken his once excellent punch resistance, he's been hurt by shots he would have walked through pre-haye.
Joshua has the potential to be a good world champion imo and i dont rate Chisora but to put Aj in with a Kevin Johsnon, Tony Thompson, Dereck Chsiroa right now would just be a suicide
If they met tomorrow, it would be because Joshua's management believe he would win. I remember going to Mason/Lewis thinking it was too big a step for Lennox, all my mates were telling me I was wrong and Lewis would be too good; and guess what...
Kevin Johnson is no where near the threat level of Thompson or Chisora and is actually who I would like Joshua to fight after Bahktov. I'd pick AJ to KO him. As for Joshua vs Chisora, some people point out Joshua is stiff, so are many other great heavyweights, it's not a problem if you have a tight defence as there's not many people who will be able to move Anthony. He doesn't have the experience yet however, and hasn't been tested enough to develop one. I would sooner put him in with Thompson than Chisora, as Derek would be straight on him applying pressure whereas Tony isn't going to KO him or try to slug with him, that would be a good learning fight for him in 6 months time.
