    Fury is to much of an unknown quantity

    So no one from this crop

    A fully fit and motivated Tyson Fury would have a good chance, would be a 50/50 fight

    IMO only fury has the skill as well as style to potentially beat AJ, Wilder or Ortiz could land a lucky shot maybe.

    Tyson Fury beats him, I'm very confident of this.

    Ortiz is next up I read in regards to him being mandatory and not wanting any step aside money.

    I think a fight with Ortiz let's us know just exactly how good Joshua is. I had Wlad up at the time of the stoppage but it was a great fight.

    The division is wide open. There are a number of guys you'd give a great chance of beating one another.
    Anthony Joshua looks beatable but so are the guys who might beat him. Makes for interesting fights, if these men are willing to step up and take risks.
    AJ seems willing but I'm not convinced his promoter will want to risk him too often in tough fights against fighters whose names aren't as prestigious as the old fella he fought last night.

    Ortiz may give him a run for his money, Wilder could land a hail Mary type shot and force a stoppage. Honestly it's never going to be a certain pick or prediction but I see Joshua being a difficult obstacle to overcome for the remaining heavyweights.

    Tough to say. Apart from Parker, I can see any of the listed he's doing it, but except for a healthy Fury(which is an oxymoron), I wouldn't actually PICK any of them.

    Wladimir can absolutely win the rematch. The fight is 50/50 and very finely balanced as we saw last night.

    Fury has a about the same chance I feel, maybe slightly favoured to outbox AJ.

    Wilder a punchers chance, Ortiz/Parker 20% maybe.

    Unfortunately I think Wilder..

    Him v Wilder is just who can land first, so a punchers chance but a very powerful punchers chance !

    Fury if he can get back to his old form.

    Wlad might do as well in a rematch but I can't see that happening soon and Wlad will only get worse with time.

    Wilder is dangerous and has a punchers chance but I can't see a guy who was out boxed by Washington having anything more than a remote punchers chance.

    Ortiz is also dangerous, but he's even more immobile than Joshua and prefers fighters to come to him. AJ is a counter puncher and a taller and rangier one at that. Ortiz also fights at such a sedate pace, he won't be able to test AJ's stamina. He does't even have a good as punchers chance as Wilder.

    Parker, I think could be dangerous. His hand speed, power and combo's. Joshua now is more cautious and sits back more than before and that will allow Parker to fight his fight. But Parker is easy to hit and I don't think he is ready yet.

    A respected poster in the classic forum (@janitor) believes a 2 fight prospect, sparring partner of Joshua may be the boxer to defeat him, Daniel Dubois.

    -I don't think Joshua will risk fighting Ortiz but I would give him a decent shot at upsetting AJ.
    -I actually believe Wilder could beat Joshua via hail mary KO although expect the reverse to transpire most likely.
    -Parker I see as quite basic and a fairly routine knockout victory for AJ.

    -Tyson Fury is the man I picked as having the best chance to defeat Joshua but this can only happen if Fury can overcome all the obstacles to get back to the championship level. Even then, Joshua will keep improving and will be an even more dangerous fighter by the time they could conceivably square off so I would not be too confident.
