    Joyce, Wilder or Hrgovic. They all need a win, and boxing is as good as your last fight. Pair any of them together and the winner is immediately in everyone's mouth again.

    Yup as you would know as you have seen it happen often in the past/heard so many stories about it.

    Wilder and Joyce perfect age for Joshua at 39. Loves facing old men. Hrgovic too young at 32, a baby.

    Having said that, I think Hrgovic would be the easiest, in terms of talent & ability. Wilder & Joyce still hold that KO power. Hrgovic I don't think would hurt AJ as much, so less risky.

    not sure about that. Both wilder and Joyce shot to pieces and easy to hit. Hrgovic is overrated but might be able to do something. He looked out of shape against Dubois and seems to have a chin

    The only reason financially Joshua should come back is for the Fury fight, he will require 2 David Haye type defences at the o2 and then straight into Fury. Fury will still be marketable coming off 2 losses to the GOAT.

    Brilliant run :pancarta:

    You must be on about the time he ran away from the little blob for 12 rounds in the biggest show of cowardice seen in Riyadh.

    Incredible that people still don't see the big picture.

    Some people are easily sucked in by sales tripe.

    He's a prizefighter and he's made a fortune, why isn't that a brilliant run?

    How much money does a person need? Unless he's blown a load of it, and needs more, he may as well hang em up. He's looking shop worn and weary now,, he's mid 30s and looking chinny, get out while you can. He's nowt more to achieve really.

    We are discussing what happens in the ring - eg boxing greatness defeating the best out there.

    I agree - never has such mediocrity, sucked so much money, out of the mugged boxing public.

    If that is your metric for success then whatever interests people I suppose.

    Most people don’t know much about boxing, or care to know, they just want to be entertained on a Saturday night, you can’t deny they weren’t entertained…hence the money he made!

    Certainly entertained last night but there have been many stinkers on Box Office.
