    You could be right, but I think that Ortiz might be one or those who fights to the level of his competition and that at this point, he's too much risk for not enough reward for us to ever find out which of us has more right on his side.

    Could be he beats all the current big names, inc Fury, but gets his clock cleaned by a Jarrel Miller or Lippe Morrison: some kid with a big punch and not that regarded.

    Fury is insane and fat.

    Ortiz older and slowing down.

    Parker, solid but not special.

    Wilder is a belt milking type, not interested in fighting top ten guys.

    Maybe Povetkin if the fight happens in a year or less.

    Hes got good skills and is awkward being a southpaw,but he doesnt offer near as much of a threat as wlad did last night imo,i think aj will fight him once matters with parker and wilder if he grows a pair is cleared up

    Jennings has a better chin than Joshua. By out punch I mean he will take Joshua to war and win. Ortiz will spark him.

    It nearly happened against Wlad, he got the knock down in round 5 tried to finish it and got too aggressive in round 6 thinking the fight was his...

    One day he won't be able to get up..

    Wilder is always going to be dangerous because of that right, what we don't know is can he throw it against top quality opposition.

    I don't think anyone from that group will beat him.

    He would destroy both Wilder and Fury.

    Parker and Ortiz, I see those as very legit fights.

    If AJ fights Tyson Fury, I will be willing to bet money with any of you personally that AJ wins that fight. You guys are funny as hell.

    fury- He doesn't punch hard enough, AJ would eventually get to him by tko.

    Parker - He just isn't big enough to deal with the strength and power of AJ.

    Wilder- He just isn't technically good enough, Joshua finishes him early.

    Ortiz- He probably has the best chance, awkward southpaw that can punch is always a dangerous opponent.

    None of the above as i think only Fury would stand a chance and if the fight had been before Tyson hit his 'issues' then he would beat AJ at stage AJ is at now.
    However AJ by own admission has improvements to make, i think he will make a lot of improvement so by time Fury allowed/ready to fight, then AJ will be a much more complete package and i believe would win.

    Question i might ask, are any of those in that list likely to make improvements themselves?

    I dont think many will go to war with joshua and win. Maybe a pressure fighter that puts him on the back foot. Wlads success came with boxing him. But someone that almost invites punches in to get his own off. Not so sure. Ortiz is a smart fighter and hes a lump. But i think hes a sitting duck. Hes too slow to do it. Ortiz doesnt really have much to stop someone coming in. You need that against joshua. Ortiz almost invites people in to hit him takes it then fires back. But does it work against someone that punches as explosively as joshua...i m not so sure.

    I wouldn't favour any of those against him. But eventually Anthony Joshua will run into his Buster Douglas or Hasim Rahman.
