The Top 5 Guys Most Likely To Unseat AJ In The Next Two Years

1. F. Hrgovic I think hes all around the most complete fighter with punching ,boxing abilities with very good ring IQ. due his awkward style and ability to set up traps he poses the more difficult challenge toa Joshua type of fighter. His weakness is defense with aggressive sizeable guys . but could catch AJ with something more then the others and also a solid chin ,more proven then the others,which again is needed against AJ.

2. J. Joyce He knows Joshua better then everyone due to sparring hundereds of rounds with him . I had him at number 1 but IDK about his last fight,seems to have abandonded the work behind the jab and didn't look as polished like the Stiverne fight. His weakness is speed but his strength is being able to apply pressure and hitting guys at awkard angles . he has a win over hrgovic which shows hoew dangerous his style actually is. He brings size as well and that's a key weapon vs someone like AJ .

3. DDD Has that explosive style with power and also has size to match AJ's. This is very important and few have these things with competent boxing ability. Should be an interesting quick fight ,cant see this one going long another who catch who first and both will clash .

4. Usyk . The best Ring IQ out of these guys,he knows how to position himself to not lose in fights and work rate is top notch,this could be interesting fight ,though hes on a lower tier due to actually having to beat up a 6'6 monster who can also box but he wont just fight defensively he will bring the fight to Joshua ,you cannot defeat AJ off a back foot so Fury is not on my list.


5 .Wilder Yes its a slim chance but he does bring a arm reach of 83 inches with power ( anythings possible)


These are the guys to look out for against AJ ,now until 2021.

 

Hes not on the radar in these years. no one will actually be talking about him and Aj until 2021 if Efe keeps winning ,the mentioned guys are knocking on AJ's door now sooner then later. Frank will push DDD and Joshua if he gets by Gorman to get that pay day.

 

I actually forgot Whyte ,he poses unpredictability with decent power ,I would place him 5th with Wilder ,slim chance but same odds in defeating Joshua . Whyte has ability to press Joshua and fight inside and outside to an extent.

 

Im glad the Whyte fight hasn't happened yet ,much better fight in 2020 . Whyte is on the lower level of chance but on the higher one if I included ability to make a tough fight. Whyte would be a tougher fight for AJ then Wilder but not as dangerous.

Whyte could possibly be his toughest fight but you also have to out point AJ at least slow him down, some of the others have more ability to do that . What Whyte brings is ability to box and be a puncher then the rest outside Hrgovic who is extrememly dangerous. a Vitali Klitschko clone who has not even hit his ceiling yet either.

Whyte DOES posses the best best punch out of all them and that's the left hook outside Wilders right hand but he needs to land with well technique to do it. Joshua is not the easy guy to land on many think. Ruiz is going to find that out the hard way and see the robot has great counter punching ability second to none .

 

True fight understanding isn't reached until after 20 fights. This goes for everyone no matter how many rounds they had. This is something ppl wish to ignore. At this point when a fighter knows how to go about things and what can be done ,going rounds , what weight they come in, punch counts , etc...bc you don't get more ability to go more rounds until you actually have them . Its the reason why klitschko survived the fight that long.

This makes AJ very dangerous now bc he knows he can box someones ears off for 12 or knock them out early. So I would throw all that out the window bc Joshua has a understanding of all this now. Hes not a 15 fight fighter ,hes a legit nightmare now and the odds of him taking an L to anyone mentioned is very slim .

IMOP he wont have the danger he had with Wlad unless a true level threat comes his way ,its how good he actually is. and I have no problem putting him ahead of Lewis in comparison to eras bc I know AJ is far more difficult to land a W on then Lewis was.


A special talent with many attributes has to take place .You know my pick for that one and his name is Vlad sirenko . I believe this will be the actual threat. able to match AJ in many areas.

Id like to see Whyte fight more ,I expect him to win easy over Rivas . I don't have Rivas as a top 10 guy not even 20.
