    So far aj has demolished everyone he has faced now the public want klitscho and casuals screamin he will destroy all in his path.so far he has looked impressive but his level of competition for a world champion is laughable say least ,tryin to gage what actual boxing fans (well most on here few odd nutters ) think he's at still think he is potential at moment even tho a world champion imo only world champ due to vast amount of belts and hearns power not his fault tho and if opportunity arose of course he would take it fair play easy fight Martin and now champ and well paid for it . IMO klitscho povetkin Ortiz even wilder all far more proven would all defeat him (all ko him aswell)at moment a lot would add haye that list but personal think he would be too small Others say Parker but again think he same bracket as aj still potential .
    At moment he is being linked with price and molina for Dec 10 both I think he deals with relative ease but who do think they should try put him in so he is ready and more tested to take on bigger hitters in division later next year rather than jump from ex NFL breazeale to best hw for last ten years ?? An Ustinov ,pulev or browne type figure not top level but still enough test aj and better than breazeale

    Still a learner according to his thieving promoter. But he has a world title, a decent amount of fights etc...

    He's at £million level so he probably doesn't give a sheet about what anyone thinks!

    He's only proven at British level. BUT...he is clearly elite and will prove it over time starting with that punchbag Parker.

    I've seen him fight a few times now, watched AJ fight as an amateur a year before the olymipcs and he is the real deal! As long as he stays away from Ortiz and Haye he'll be champ for a long time

    Yeah he has great head movement, but he also gets hit way too easily; the latter point usurping the former.

    Joshua was not ready to fight Klitschko for sure...............how good is Joshua? Nobody knows because he has never fought anyone....................Vlad easily outclassed him in camp, no doubt about that.................

    Before the Charles martian fight a lot of people where saying its a tough fight for him and he's a tricky southpaw, look how he dealt with him. I agree he ain't been tested and their are big question marks over his chin made bigger by the fact whyte couldnt stop Allen or Lewison. he would most likely still hold a British title mabie going into a European title fight if he never fought martian.he gets a lot of stick because hes fighting knockovers on PPV even if he fought wlad and beat him hes over the hill. out of the ring for a year and coming off the back of a loss to a fat man who takes coke. that's what people would say. I personally want to see him in super fights next year Ortiz Haye Parker Wlad.

    Completely agree when you swap out Haye for Wilder in that last sentence.

    Add wilder but I think haye is the biggest fight in terms of buys and gate because AJ ain't fighting out side the UK anytime soon we don't no how good he is since his comeback and he needs a decent name to warrant it being a super fight but in terms of money it's the biggest gate 100%

    He needs to fight a Browne, Ortiz, Pulev or Parker level opponent.

    He holds a world title and he needs to start fighting now genuine elite level opponents in his next defence.

    I don't expect a fight against Wlad or Wilder next.

    Joshua still hasn't impressed me hugely yet. I think casuals are the only folks who truly think he is at a top level just yet...
