    Aside from the top 4 or 5 heavies, there is a distinct lack of quality which means Joshua doesn't really have the type of opponents necessary to make a smooth transition up the ladder before reaching world level.

    Fighting the likes of Cornish and Whyte is a waste of time. I'd skip quite a few fighters and bringover Stiverne and then Jennings as his next two fights. After that, he'd need to be asssessed as to where he is, but this go-slow approach as of now leaves me feeling that Hearn is trying to milk him as much as possible whilst still giving him an excuse not to go near Wlad.

    Anyone who thinks that AJ and Whyte are on a similar level know nothin about boxing and will be in for rude awakening on Dec 12th.

    Jennings is a decent shout- he hasn't got massive power yet clearly has decent stamina.

    Price passed the test with an a grade as well and looked what happened to him when he finally faced a live fighter

    Yes, it is no guarantee of success.

    If Joshua is really that good he should be fighting Stiverne then Jennings next. He's going to keep picking on the brit bums though if he gets passed Whyte, Price will be next.

    I see this much the same way.
    Both clear bumbashers, without actual bashing power and no chin to stand up to real heavyweights.
    Toss up in my opinion.
