    Reading threads, reading interviews with moaning Boxers and listening to Youtube videos it seems everybody wants Joshua facing different people and will be unhappy if they face other people. For me the only 2 really exciting fights right now would be between Fury or Wilder, Joshua Vs anybody is coming 2nd to those fights.

    But after those fights and those fighters i dont feel he has anything to prove against anybody. He doesnt NEED to face anybody before we can accept he is a deserving anything. As long as he picks somebody in the top 10 of the division he isnt ducking anybody by picking them. Ortiz, Whyte, Parker, Miller, Pulev, Povetkin all fine by me, if we are honest nobody is the right pick for Joshua right now theres only really the 2 and he cant get either of them right now.

    I feel Ortiz would be the third option if AJ can`t get the winner of Fury v Wildder 2 and I know that would push his April fight back, but those are the only heavies worth anything right now other than a lesser fighter landed a lucky shot on AJ`s jaw, I feel Wilder and Fury would beat the rest of the division, though I would like to see Ortiz v Fury also, but he looked awful in his last bout and is getting older by the day.

    I'd've liked him to fight wilder, but he let that marinate too long.

    Fury for me.

    Fury has pretty much said he's already beat Wilder now he wants to beat AJ.

    Make that fight FFS and stop feeding us other fights. I know I'm a drop in the ocean but I won't be buying the AJ Whyte fight. Miller would be better in my opinion as they haven't fought yet but wouldn't be something I'd wake up at 4am and shell out £20 for

    This is how I’d like to see it pan out:

    Fury/Wilder rematch

    Joshua/Whyte rematch

    Winners fight to unify and losers square off as well.

    He knocked povetkin out already, knocked white out, beat Parker. OLD man Ortiz won't hang with him and Miller hasn't fought anyone. If he can't get Wilder or Fury their really isn't a fight out there for him at the moment.

    Wilder first for unification. Fury second, as he retired unbeaten. Then (should AJ win both) the remaining top 10 or whatever... At the moment the first two fights are the ones that really matter at HW.

    Realistically I'd like him to fight Whyte next, as I believe Whyte has earned the shot and would be more competitive second time round. If I could have my way, though, it'd be Fury or Wilder. Wilder won't ever fight him though, and Fury needs a bit more seasoning before going in against current Joshua.

    Miller and Pulev are a waste of time.

    Since I want Fury to beat Wilders ass next I'd love to see Joshua vs Usyk next.

    Wouldn't mind Whyte/Ortiz but don't want to see him fight Fat Baby.

    Fat Baby is easy pickings imo

    Id like to see him pummel Miller just cause .It all depends on who Whyte fights next ,if he fights Povetkin or Klitschko we may not see the Joshua rematch.

    My pick is Whyte unless he's considering Wlad and Povetkin , fights he can lose.
