    I'd watch it again, it's was entertaining and very close.

    I can see AJ walking through Pulev

    Ortiz would be interesting

    Wilder won't fight a live body

    Id like to see AJ clear his mandatory and beat pulev so he can become undisputed. Part of the Klitschko fight excitement was is he too old or is AJ not experienced enough... That's gone now... Fight the mandatory pulev next... Ortiz in the new year then sets up the big clash with wilder next year...

    I'd like to see him fight Ortiz, Wilder or Parker.

    The pulev fight is an absolute waste of everyone's time. If they are going to do that fight, then arrange to be held at the back of someone's garage behind closed doors.

    Joshua will spark anyone who doesn't move well on their feet. I don't think Pulev or Ortiz would last past 6 rounds with him to be honest.

    Despite his last two defeats, Klitschko is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. It's set up for a rematch and after the first fight why wouldn't anyone want to see that again?

    But if he don't fight pulev he gets stripped part of the excitement about AJ is the goal of being undisputed he needs to steam roll through the mandatories and set up a huge fight next year... We all know AJ takes out pulev with ease that's why Eddie hearn wanted the fight last year and he would never risk his money tree AJ...

    If he doesn't fight Wlad he has to face Pulev.

    Miller didn't look too bad at the weekend- durable if a touch crude. I can see him chasing Joshua/Parker/Wilder in 2018.

    In an ideal world it would be Parker or Wilder but as we know it's either Klitschko or Pulev.

    I'm OK with the Klitschko rematch, it was a entertaining fight the first time around.

    I think if Wlad wanted the rematch, it'd be announced by now. Looks like Ortiz and Wilder may actually be getting it on so that leaves...Pulev? I'm totally okay with that fight, Pulev is decent.

    thats what makes AJ even more entertaining, obviously his style is fun to watch, and as you said, AJ sparks anyone who cant move his feet well, but anyone who moves their feet well can spark AJ imo

    There was a date set for Joshua/Klitschko, Nov. 11th, I posted it here not long ago, looks as if it will happen in Vegas. Vlad is the best fighter Joshua can fight and it's a 50/50 fight, really good heavyweight fight indeed..............Wilder will not go near a good fighter unless it's a paid off fighter or another wino, five voluntary tile defenses in a row. WBC says yes sir to Haymon................

    The Miller fight could be interesting, I don't think he has the tools to beat AJ yet but he does look very durable, not sure if AJ or anyone could knock him out.

    He's definitely durable and hits very hard, but he's easy work for AJ. He's shorter than AJ, has a shorter reach, he's slow & lumbering...I don't rate him at all.

    I like the idea of pulev next see AJ walk through him and let everyone else set up the next fights... Ortiz wilder will be a quality fight and can't pick between the 2 whyte and miller would be a quality fight and would be a great build up then parker fury will be interesting to see how parker does against fighters over here... Not sure about you boys but haye vs the winner does sound good! (Not that I think hate deserves the shot!)

    Pulev is mandatory and would be okay.
    The winner of Parker-Fury or old Ortiz would be good for the next fight after that.

    Truth is, without Wlad Klitschko and Tyson Fury around, the division is extremely weak.
