    Both men are mentioned as possible opponents of Joshua, but it seems that Wallin still has an advantage to fight Joshua, styles make fights and who would suit whom better in terms of style and which fight would be more attractive to watch?

    AJ is the main attraction either way. About the same in that sense.

    Off course it will be Joshua vs Hrgovic. Filip is puncher with very strong chin WHO dont afraid of going toe to toe in the ring.
    Wallin dont have big punching power and he is more slick, back foot kind of fighter.

    Hrgovic vs Joshua will bring firework in the ring.

    But nobody let Joshua fighting Filip right now. It same level of risk as fight with Wilder or even Fury but less $$ and less profits from winning.

    While neither matchup will attract much more than hardcore boxing fans I believe AJ-Hrgovic is considerably more interesting. We've all seen Wallin a time or two and there isn't much about his style that gets me excited for one of his fights. On the other hand, Hrgovic belongs to the group pf undefeated prospects who have shown good pop and some potential. The group includes guys like Makhmudov, Sanchez, Hrgovic and others.

    Over the last couple of years we've seen Zhang, Parker, Ajagba, Yoka, Joyce and others lose their undefeated record in interesting, telling bouts. I am always interested in seeing prospects go up against the established elite.

    Wallin just because we need his enigma punched into oblivion once and for all.

    Hrgovic for me as he clearly has power to trouble Joshua. Wallin doesn't imo.

    Wallin is a much safer option. They can always rob him on the scorecards if they need to. That's why he's the obvious opponent.

    Hrgovic for sure as he posses the power to stop Joshua, while Wallin will be on his bicycle trying to survive in a dull fight.

    How is this even a question? Wallin a bum, AJ even beat him in ams didn't he?

    Hrgovic is the real deal, he has the guns and chin to absolutely destroy Joshua
