    Is AJ too green by next summer ? If and a big IF Fury gets past Wlad in the rematch this could be a HUGE PPV in the UK. AJ would likely take this if it comes his way and well for the ££££s I cant see how Fury would see it as one to pass up on. Could AJ take Fury ? Always before last night I'd have said AJ right now would take Fury by KO...but I have to concede Fury has surprised me and gone way beyond what I believed and shown great skill in his gameplan and movement to outbox Wlad...so AJ now isn't the 100% sure KO win over Fury that I would've previously said.....

    what ya reckon?

    To soon for AJ.

    AJ has done well against the opposition he has fought and unlike some people here, i think AJ's resume is quite decent for an up and comer. However, none of his opponents have been remotely world class.

    He needs more rounds and to be tested. Right now he hasn't had his stanima, chin, durability, mental strenth, IQ or heart tested.

    I think if he carries on winning then 2017 is a more realistic date for a Fury fight.

    Yeah, Joshua won't take anything more dangerous than a title elminator (probably sticking with the plan and targeting the WBC belt) in 2016.

    Joshua and Fury will be matched up eventually--probably in 2017 if Fury holds on to the belts.

    Joshua will probably continue to clear out the domestic scene in 2016. Chisora, Price or Haye are realistic prospective opponents, as domestic names will generate more revenue for Joshua's backers than any other opponent save a world title fight.
