    Glory supporters. They ride your d*ck when you're #1 and then turn their backs on you when you're no longer at the top.

    I always felt Joshua was overrated always been a Fury fan.

    Even at the time AJ fought Wlad I'd have said he'd be 50/50 with Ortiz.

    AJ has to fight no one who can threaten him while waiting for Usyk, he has that rematch clause signed and sealed.

    The money men are not going to want the goose that lays the golden egg (Joshua) put at risk in a lower budget fight, they are focused on the Usyk bout hopefully occurring in the near future, war in Ukraine permitting.

    Amazing how AJ fights and you all expect him to fight the best. Which he does. But if it were Fury looking for a fill in fight, it's ok if he fights a complete bum like Seferi or Schwarz. And even then, Fury is praised for beating the bum while AJ gets carp for beating another top ten guy. You guys are idiotic

    AJ is very hated here for some reason.

    "Oh, he's so fake" - Poster who doesn't know him :lol:

    The longer naming an opponent drags on, the more I think it'll be Chisora

    He is Hearn's go-to opponent. Joshua is practically the only heavyweight Hearn has who hasn't beaten Chisora yet. Joshua could grab 95 percent of the money. Hearn would find a lot of fanboys willing to believe the hype.

    And all the British fans would eventually convince themselves it is a great fight.

    No one would think that. That's just what you WANT to believe would be the case.

    Not the hardcores.
    But plenty of casuals which is Hearn’s main area of interest.

    Sure. But IMO, no one should give a damn about casuals opinions on this board.

    Can't decide and I've mulled over this since the thread was started.

    Wilder would be decent tho.

    Controversial I know but I think frank Sanchez beats AJ
