    You call "dumbo" name calling? It's a kid's insult, like calling someone a poo-poo head. My my what a thin skinned little princess you are poppet. Grow a pair and stop being such a namby pamby snowflake.

    I think we've disagreed more than agreed lately. As I'm typing this two-thirds+ votes have been Hrgovic or Wilder. Those are my top two.

    Filip is the better opponent, but I'm voting for DW. Maybe I'm sentimental. You have your anti Fury reasoning. But I'd find it amusing if Deontay gave AJ a tough bout. Even more comical if Wilder starched AJ :sisi1

    If Wilder can't get up for AJ he might as well retire.

    Wilder is too old and had the stuffing beat out of him

    Isn't he like 39? Let's see how good Aj is when he is 38 or 39

    Aj is picking too many guys at the right time. Hearn is a master at this match picking. Aj has managed to stay active and fighting a bum of the month

    Fury the idiot let himself down against Ngannou and everyone thinks Joshua is the best again? Lol

    It's going to come crashing down soon

    DW will be 39 Oct 22 this year. Point well taken re Eddie match making. We both strongly agree AJ is being hyped to the moon by his worshipers. I'm playing the expectations game. Most members here overwhelmingly expect AJ to batter Wilder. Ofc DW did not look good vs. Parker. But... he might have one more good outing left. If AJ struggles to beat Wilder it will give us more ammo to use against the AJ toadies. Now what if Wilder KTFO of AJ?! Can you see the threads now. Hilarious :D
    Yes, it is far from unlikely.

    PS I like AJ > Wilder as a sportsman, much more. It's his fans that have become insufferable lately.

    Well wilder only needs to land once
    And to use the aj fanboys logic against them
    Wilder beat Breazele and Helenius WAY easier than Joshua, so he must be better lol

    Isn't that what they are saying about Aj beating Ngannou and wallin easier than Fury?

    Aj beat Parker a million years ago,but the obese Mexican struggled with 60 year old ortiz,who nobody gives Wilder credit for stopping twice when he was 50 lol and he made Aj quit

    But seriously, eddie isn't risking Wilder. They where secretly ecastic that Parker took him off the board for Aj

    Joshua has made his comeback fights. He's got steadily better and looks to have his confidence fully back.

    I think he'll want the fight with Hrgovic next (probably for IBF) and if so Eddie can use his means and ways to make it happen. I'd be very surprised if Dubois got in the way of this.

    1st choice - Hrgovic
    2nd Choice - Parker
    3rd choice - Sanchez
    4th choice - Kabayel
    5th choice - Dubois

    All good fights but I'd be disappointed if it wasn't one of the above.

    However potentially with Hrgovic and Dubois in talks, rumours of a Zhang and Parker rematch it could rule out 3 of the options.

    Whyte and Joyce haven't made impressive performances since their losses. Ruiz has been inactive. Hunter has disappeared. Zhang is coming off a loss to Parker. Wilder is irrelevant and was exposed as a overrated hype job against Parker.

    Which top ten? Boxrec top ten? Otto Wallin is still in that. Do you want Joshua to fight Wallin again?

    Fool.

    let's see how good Wilder is when he's in his prime and can still make relevant fights against the best in the division.

    Ah yes I see the problem here.

    But what if Joshua is still beating top ranked guys at 38 or 39? What will you say then? Will you change your tune ang give him credit or still bring up how he quit against an obese Mexican a hundred years ago?

    Yea we all know the answer to that.

    You seem very upset at the prospect of Joshua having to fight somebody good.

    https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/?weightclass=272

    Anyone on this list not already contracted to fight (so Fury and Usyk) would be acceptable.

    Joshua will not be beating top opposition at that age. He relies on his physical gifts and he will slow down

    I will give him as much credit as you give Fury

    Least fury has a set of balls and fights through adversity

    There’s no reason it shouldn’t be Hrgovic IMO. If for whatever reason Hrgovic fights Dubois (a pointless fight and an easy win for Hrgovic), then I would accept Parker. Anyone else will be a disappointment to me. He’s had his comeback fights, it’s time to see him against a top guy.

    I like Wilder, Joyce or Anderson in that order. Hrgovic is best if he's available.
