Plot Joshua's route to a world title

If he fights Vlad it wont be for another 2 years absolute minimum more likely 3 ...IF Vlad is still around good chance they will both dodge each other

 

Hmm not sure he will be fighting as regular as he is at the moment you might findhe starts giving himself slightly longer camps as he steps up his competition.... also dont think he will looking at someone of Vlads level in only 6 fights. I also get the feeling that neither will want that fight (just now but that may sway more towards Vlad not wanting it in a cpl years time as he regresses and Joshua improves)

 

Maybe something like this:

Dec 2015: Whyte
Spring 2016: Cunningham
Summer 2016: Teper
Late 2016: Parker
Spring 2017: Stiverne
Summer 2017: Wilder
Late 2017: Fury
2018: Wlad

 

i think a few more journeymen should be included in these routes

 

He wont get past Wilder.

 

That is quite likely and the timescale maybe stretched too.

 

More realistic schedule, tho i doubt he will be in with Parker ..... by that time it be names he needs and Parker wont be huge then in terms of popularity and could be a very high risk/reward fight. replace that witha jounrey man between Teper and Stiverne would make more sense IMO

 

He won't get to Wilder unless they can continue to stage manage his defenses, as soon as he faces anyone of any ability he's gone!

 

I think it will be relatively low risk. I do not see Parker being much of a threat, but yes it could easily be a Thompson or a soft European title defence. Maybe even a Briggs for giggles.

 

hmm i dunno the guy is still very early in his career he will improve a lot i think.. You maybe right as we have no idea how much he will improve in that time. could be a lucas Browne sorta guy / Thomson as you said

 

He woud destroy Browne in 2-3 rounds. Lucas is a nice guy, but he's awful. Technically atrocious.

 

yeah i agree hence why i said sorta journey man easy fight between the euro title (teper) and then moving up to Stivenre according to TBooze's post

 

Whyte- December
Wach- April 2016
Chisora- July 2016
Teper- November 2016
Jennings- February 2017
Pulev- June 2017
Weakest champion then in October/November 2017

Think some of you guys are unrealistic in him taking all of the most difficult fights possible up to the end of 2016.
