    British Title Eliminator. Simple really he wins this fight then has one or two defences of that WBC belt then fights Chisora Price or Fury for the British title.

    Lucas Browne seems a decent opponent at this stage.

    Agree that knocking out Sprott helps no one.

    Sprott pointless opponent, Joshua is a difficult one to match in theory Sprott shoul dbe a test after 8/9 fights but the Joshua is stopping them so easy same story for Sprott.

    Price would also poo his pants as soon as Joshua starts coming at him, unless he has a new confidence.

    I cant see many of the British heavies other than Chisora/Fury/Haye giving him a fight.

    Thats why I don't want it to happen. He's long past his best,too old and too small. Its a potentially dangerous mismatch,but the one thing that hasn't deteriorated is Michaels heart. Mores the pity.

    Thats a better one,but they'll consider Browne too tough at this stage. Nobody else in Britain seems to want him either,after Richard Towers.

    AJ is coming along and his managers are upping the quality of his opponents, but by the time AJ gets in the ring he has improved to the point that the opponent expected to give him some rounds gets blown away. The last couple of guys were supposed to be solid and durable and they were... until they met him.

    Thats probably true. But I think he'd have beat Bakhtov in his first pro fight. Difference probably being he'd have had to go the distance,albeit 6 rounds,and got the rounds they're always talking about. Id like to see him against somebody his own size next. Even that Brazilian guy would be better than Mike. He boxed Joseph Parker a couple of fights ago and gave him a bit of a scrap. Don't usually like these comparison type fights,but in this case it could be interesting.

    Joshua should fight Dominic Guinn after Sprott.
