    One guy doesn't have the warrior mentality.

    The other guy definitely does.

    Easy pick.

    Tbh I’m not really that interested in AJ vs fury either, two guys end of their career, way past their best.
    For me, This is a no brainer for AJs next fight. It’s an easy fight to make, Frank warren already said they want it, AJ should take it, another chance to become 3 time world champ, and against someone who has limited boxing experience compared to him. And if he wins, the AJ vs fury fight then becomes for a world HW title, making it an even bigger fight and fans like myself now suddenly become interested in this fight.
    And if he loses to wardley, the fury fight is still there for him

    At this point I have to go with Wardley

    I wouldnt be suprised if Joshua won because I dont think Wardley is that good

    It funny cause a year and a half ago it would have been an easy pick for most in Joshuas favor

    I'd say Wardley by stoppage. Joshua has more skills but he's a finished fighter in my opinion. Against Dubois he struggled on every important attack. I think AJ will fight and lose against Fury in 2026.

    You also think Boots Enis is better than Sugar Ray Leonard

    I'm not gonna hijack the thread but you did...

    Anyway if the fight was to take place now I'd have to back Wardley

    I’ve gone Joshua, this fight will happen and be the beginning of his Indian summer where he wins this one, a fight with someone else, and cashes out with win over Fury

    I actually think Wardley is tailor made for someone like Fury tbh

    Wardley brutally knocks out Joshua.

    Joshua hasn't been the same fighter for quite sometime he seems to be in two minds in regards to what style to use an aggressive puncher or a tactical boxer.

    Confidence wise Joshua just doesn't have it at world level anymore who's the last world class Heavyweight Joshua has beaten ? And there's your answer.

    Dubois doesn't have the greatest chin but he walked down Joshua and beat him up. And you could see Joshua looked hesitant of Dubois's aggression and power from the opening bell.

    At this stage in Joshua's career a young hungry confident KO puncher is the worst kind of opponent for Joshua to face.

    Really good point re whether he doesn't even know his best style.
