    I would like to see Joshua 's opposition upgraded a bit now. Thinking along the lines of
    Alexander Ustinov
    Denis Boytzov
    Manuel Charr
    Francsco Pianeta
    Alex Leapai

    Guys that may hang around and give him some rounds.
    What do you think?

    Apart from Ustinov, Whyte KO's the rest without breaking a sweat. Ustinov just gets a beating, could still suffer a KO, Whyte probably bangs harder punch for punch than Pulev

    Whyte would have a tricky night with Manuel Charr imo

    Yes he would be a worth while punch bag.

    Whyte has beaten whom to lead you to this conclusion?

    After winning the British, I'd like to see him fight Teper for the Euro title, then step up to a couple of top 15 opponents before really chasing the top fights.

    Wach.

    Might get to see AJ's toolbox once he realises he can't lay him out...

    if fury will have to vacate the IBF, Joshua should target this belt.

    these are the listed rankings before fury won, only 5 people ahead of him to glazkov, IBF will probably up him to no 2/3 if he beats whyte and eddie pays enough cash. Whether he deserves it not is another matter, he than then hold the belt hostage and keep take learning fights like wach etc

    Vyacheslav Glazkov
    2. NOT RATED
    3. Tyson Fury
    4. Charles Martin
    5. Erkan Teper
    6. Steve Cunningham
    7. Artur Szpilka
    8. Lucas Browne
    9. Anthony Joshua
    10. Carlos Takam
    11. Andy Ruiz
    12. Bermane Stiverne
    13. Mariusz Wach
    14. Kubrat Pulev
    15. Andrey Fedosov

    Isn't Boystov in a coma or recovering? Charr got KO'd by a Cruiserweight.

    I'd go for the French guy who Wilder fought or Teper who KO'd Price as first 2 choices then Ustinov or Solis.

    It's obviously not who he has fought, but the manner of which he has despatched them as well as the eye test.

    Joshua has fought a similar level of competition and you think these blokes will just give him rounds, may I ask why?


    Only Pianeta and to a lesser extent Ustinov like to box, the rest prefer to slug it out. I don't think any of them can cope with what Whyte brings to the table a combination of size, speed, power and toughness

    You think Ustinov, Charr, Pianeta and Leapai aren't?
