    What did AJ do last night that made people say "he is back" or that he looked "better"

    He looked exactly the same to me. Totally mediocre bodybuilder who can't escape his own shadow.

    Based on what? He’s a good fighter but he would be by no means a favourite against AJ.

    I had two bets. Wilder KO's Parker in rounds 1-3 or Parker wins the fight.

    Its the AJ fanboys who think he is unbeatable. They probably brits and look AJ with britain glasses.

    Bakole can cut off the ring look how he beat Yoka. He also hits hard, granite chin and lets his hands go. Its like bigger and better version of Andy Ruiz. I will put money to Bakole if he fights the bodybuilder AJ.

    LOL, I agree Usyk always beats him so at least your not a total idiot and AJ-Wilder could still go either way IMO. Fury depends on how much he really has left, at his best i'd favour him but if his recent performances are anything to go by i favour AJ.

    As for the rest, don't make me laugh Joshua beats them all.

    I think you haven't studied Zhang, Bakole, Jalolov or Sanchez. A lot of the mainstream fanboys sleep on the upcoming prospects.

    Joshua beat Zhang up in the Amateurs and Zhang is not really proven against many notable Heavyweights too early to tell with Zhang.

    We don't know how good Joyce is anymore after being brutally KO'ed the jury's out.

    Joshua didn't get outboxed by Franklin come on.....

    Wilder landed a grand total of 39 punches last night which is the worst output ever for a top 10 Heavyweight in 12 rounds and you think he beats Joshua ?

    Ruiz is inactive and barely scrapped by an old Ortiz.

    I don't agree with any of your points to be quite frank.

    So why Joshua didn't fight any of the fighters I mentioned this year? If you so sure he beats them why he fought 3 fights against top 20-30 paperfist fighters? The illusion is there when you only fight easy fights and you forget realism.

    Joshua could be the worst opponent for Joyce now. Probably a career ender.

    Joyce shouldn't face anyone more powerful than Parker and even that could be one bridge too far considering how much punishment he's taken in recent fights.

    Franklin did not outbox AJ, that's nonsense.

    Hrgovix would be a very good test to see just how good Joshua is. Otherwise Zhang.

    Those are the available opponents that interest me for Joshua right now

    Well that logic applies to most of the top Heavyweights now does it not ?

    Who had Fury thought in the last few years ? Chisora for a 3rd time and an MMA fighter ?

    Usyk had to fight Dubois after being messed around by Fury hes been very inactive.

    Wilder has only beat Helenius in the last few years.

    Joshua was offered the Fury fight after just losing a tough 12 rounder to Usyk and then was messed around by Fury changing the venue and fight date.

    Who could Joshua have fought recently ? Whyte got banned for PEDs and there fight was called off, Joshua already fought Usyk twice, Fury was messing around fighting an MMA fighter. Zhang was busy fighting Joyce x2.
