    There's no way that Joyce is AJ's biggest threat.

    You missed few guys. Povetkin is likely done.

    Efe Ajagba. A guy with an 86 inch reach and a Wlad like right hand.

    Arslanbek Makhmudiv. Maybe the best pure puncher, he's fists are best described as Sledge hammer. Good accuracy, good chin, multiple KO punches. Right hand, hook, or uppercut. And to take his body shot, forgetaboutit.

    They would both KO Wilder now. Fury would need to be in shape to run the entire fight vs either man, otherwise he's getting stopped.

    Even if both have less than 12 fights, they are legit top ten fighters on talent alone right now.

    No, he isn't.

    He's too slow and methodical.

    A threat? Sure.

    His biggest? No way.

    AJ's biggest threats are Tyson and Wilder.

    Wilder due to his speed, power and unpredictability.

    Tyson due to his size and his movement.

    Wilder will be Joshua's second easiest fight as champion and Fury has no power to remotely be a real threat to him off a backfoot style.

    Wrong on both accounts as Joyce at 6'6 260 has Joshua experience by hundreds of rounds with him and power with a great durability factor

    What does that have to do with Usyk ?

    Those guys wont be ranked near Usyk or in title contention for 3 years.

    Efe is not a top 10 fighter and neither is the other guy. Efe is better suited to take the next step ,Arslen has holes and he will struggle when he steps up and tries to make it into the top 10. Both are 2 years away from refining what needs to be refined.

    And by then my guy ,Vlad Sirenko will be the guy to defeat not them ,book mark the thread and come back here in 2 years.

    Makhmudov is tailor-made for Usyk. He is bigger, but much, much less skilled version of Magomedrasul Majidov whom Usyk schooled badly in WSB. Majidov is as powerful as Makhmudov, but he is MUCH better boxer.

    We don't know Wilder will be easy. He's flawed but very unpredictable. And anybody with that sort of speed and power is a threat to anybody.

    Tyson doesn't need power to be a very real threat. He has great movement and is very unorthadox.

    Joyce has good skills but can be predictable. Even if you think he's the most talented of the 3, he's not the biggest threat.

    I don’t know how well he’s going to do with the bigger names at heavyweight, but I do wish him success. He seems like a really cool guy, best of luck to him!!

    Joshua WILL play with Wilder up until the knock out which would be within 5 rounds just bc hes a puncher,but make no mistake theres LEVELS to boxing and wilder is not remotely reaching what Joshua is capable of,in fact history shows Wilder will lose his next fight ,a fight BTW who LOST his last one.


    Other then that we'll see whats what as I stated I bet most aren't so sure about wilder after May18th win or lose.

    Fury doesn't NEED real power to stop an aggressive combo/counter puncher??????? You need to study fights,everything you said is just wrong.

    Joshua will run through Fury , please explain why Fury took the wilder fight and asked 60% for Joshua? Don't lie and say her didn't its on his twitter and I might respond again ? That's a BIG IF ? lol


    You guys can argue with me night and day the reality is the GUY I said poses more danger IS the guy , Fury Wilder and whoever in top 5 is not going to get near a win off him based on who you guys THINK is the guy most likley to do it. . This isn't arrogance IM TELLING you guys who is more dangerous to an AJ.

    The HW division can boast the 3 most charismatic fighters in boxing among its ranks now that The Usyk God has moved up to claim his place on the throne

    Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury and Dave ''The White Rhino'' Allen being the others of course. Two Brits and Usyk is an honorary Brit.

    Wilder has very poor technique. We've seen him struggle with B and C class fighters. He's heavily flawed. But you can never write a guy off who is unpredictable and who can punch. Yes, AJ is levels above him technically. So is Fury and so was Ortiz. But somebody who is so unpredictable, who'll let his hands go with confidence, will always be a threat.

    I didn't say Tyson didn't need power. I said he doesn't need power to be a threat. His awkwardness and his movement for such a big guy can cause issues. Most people thought that Wlad was going to walk through him. Tyson is a huge threat to any HW in the division.

    Joe Joyce hasn't shown me that he'd be AJ's biggest threat.
