Joshua 2.0? who's his next fight?

Parker or Fury seem like the only good options.

 

Fury and Usyk are tied up for 2 fights, Parker is also contracted to rematch Zhang. So these guys are obviously off the table. Forget Wilder too, that might happen one day but I'd be surprised if it's next with Wilder's embarrassing loss to Parker.

Dubois I guess is an option, though it likely ends early with AJ victorious. Dubois simply isn't on AJ's level. I guess Kabayel, Bakole would be acceptable though disappointing opponents.

Hrgovic is the obvious choice for me. Maybe now AJ has the confidence to take it with him wrecking Ngannou and Zhang's limitations being exposed by Parker.

 

Hrgovic then the winner of Parker/Zhang 2

 

Hrgovic

 

Ruiz 3.

 

Hrgovic would make the most sense for the vacant ibf title. After that against Joyce or Parker or fury just to make money. Usyk is the clear best and will be undisputed and certainly retire.

 

Hrgovic or Parker. He needs to stay busy and not sit about waiting on the winner of Fury/Uysk. If they have a rematch as expected then AJ is looking at a year out the ring

 

Hrgovic needs a win against someone from the Top 10 to be ready for this version of Joshua...

 

I don't think Fury will go anywhere near him and he already dominated Parker a few years ago. I'm betting he goes after Wilder even though Wilder looked like crap last fight. He's still a name and would look good on AJ's resume.

 

The most reasonable choice is Filip Hrgovic. No other fight will help Joshua climb the ladder of resurgence (Parker will not fight Joshua yet). If nobody else is available, Joshua should fight Joyce or Dubois in Wembley. Frank Sanchez is not proven yet, neither is Martin Bakole.

 

Who did he beat in those fights?

Unbelievable how gullible this place is.

There's a reason AJ didn't fight Wilder, Fury, Zhang, Croatian, Joyce, Parker now even.

AJ could win those fights, yes, but he could easily lose them too. That's why he dodged all the actual contenders. They didn't want another loss on the brand.

 

Someone woke up on the dark side of the bed this morning, lol.

I'm impressed. Joshua seems a different a animal with Ben Davidson. I swear before his last fight I've never seen him slip a punch. No lateral headmovement. Now his clinically doing it. He did it every knockdown with NGO.

Makes me wonder what all the other trainers were doing with him. Bens clearly gone back to the basics and drilled him and drilled him. A specimen of a athlete like joshua mixed in with Ben and his tactical knowledge, perfect mix.

It's a shame he hasn't been with joshua longer another 3 or 4 fights he could realistically beat Usyk.
