    Yeah but a younger, 33 year old, version of Pulev was destroyed by a 38 year old Wladimir Klitschko, so it's unlikely he'll now, at 38 himself, have the tools to seriously threaten a 30 year old Joshua.

    Probably won’t be any of those 3

    Usyk not ready
    Pulev already pulled out against AJ
    Whyte might lose to Rivas

    AJ vs Fury or Rivas more likely

    We know the 3 name rule with Hearn. Go for the last likely to beat his fighter.

    At this stage of his career, that is undoubtedly Pulev.

    Considering Fury has ruled out the Whyte fight that should him favourite to be AJs next opponent assuming that wins against Rivas.

    You're right. Rivas could beat Whyte.

    How much credibility will AJ get stateside after knocking out the fat bum on Saturday night ? Do you think they will be queuing up for his next fight ?

    Not alot. And i reckon Ruiz will last a good few rounds - he's pretty skilled, strong and durable - so it won't look great. He won't walk into a punch like the pudding Breazeale.

    Not really AJ's fault though. Miller should never box again and old man Ortiz and the polish sausage bloke wanted no part of AJ.

    HW boxing is a mess with no decent top level fights likely this year.

    it seems to me that AJ used to have all the power over who he fights & for how much- he is always the A-side, but since Fury & Wilder fought and it was a great fight with drama and a crazy draw, its like all roads to the top dont have to go through Aj, he needs them more than they need him to stay relevant in the division.
