    Plan A
    Dubois vs. Parker winner

    Plan B
    Zhang vs. Kabayel winner or Bakole


    Undeserved, but it would be satisfying to see someone else beat Joshua, he is Hearn's protégé and will get many more opportunities...

    He doesn't deserve the shot at the winners. Bakole awaits tho and I think it would be a great fight for him.

    Doesn't deserve shot at winners, but neither would Fury and he would get a shot too if he wanted, as money talks unfortunately
    Boxing is a business first and sport second

    I agree with ya guys he doesnt deserve shot at winners at all. I think he should fight some ''rating'' match to build confidence once again...maybe Hrgovic vs AJ?
    On the other hand, Bakole fight seems very intresting.

    Zhang would shatter Joshua’s Glass Jaw into a Billion pieces. Please let this fight happen.

    What has Joshua ever done to gain so many haters? Never understood it

    Fury and Wilder fanboys put in place a lot of false narratives and some people are just running with it. I mean, some idiots still say AJ ducked Fury, even tho he signed the contract to fight him, lol. You can't make this up.

    Former Drug dealer
    Fake nice guy
    Media controlled boring personality, until mask slips and "Gangster" AJ appears
    Overrated ability
    Manufactured resume with old men
    Never fought the other 2 big names of his era (not all his fault)
    Meltdown post Usyk 2
    Racist speech about not going using shops owned by white people

    I could of course do the same for Fury and Wilder, but can't for Usyk as he is a good guy

    Edit

    Doesn't help when dodgy used car salesman Eddie promoted him as a combination of Ali and Tyson and the greatest HW ever. Eddie is a genius for this, as many numpties actually believed that AJ was an unstoppable fighter and among the ATG's lol

    Casual boxing fans appreciate Joshua for the wrong reasons saying he is a former champion and is still a Brand that money revolves around, what's in it for you if he makes good money and a fighter who deserves a chance doesn't fight?

    Zhang, Kabayel, Dubois, Bakole all knock AJ out at this point

    Parker is a 50/50 fight, probably favour Parker but only slightly

    I’m sure Eddie is praying that Parker beats Dubois

    It is strange. He wants to make the best match-ups out there and gets critisised for it. And if he end up facing some C level fighter, these same posters will say that he's cherry picking.

    Together with Usyk he's the HW that has tried to make the right fights happen at the right time. That's pretty much what I ask of a fighter.

    The perfect scenario would be if he faces Bakole, and Usyk faces the three winners of these showdowns and then retires.
