    Anthony Joshua has won just two fights in the past 4+ years. These two victories were against a 282 lb Andy Ruiz Jr. who went on to get in shape and go life and death with 41 year old Arreola and 43 year old Ortiz, and a 40 year old mediocre in his prime a decade ago Pulev who had been previously obliterated by Vlad.

    Joshua never did step up to the foremost challenges in his division, but has still managed to collect three losses along the way (I don't count Usyk as a step up as Joshua tried to duck the cruiserweight coming up who was largely written off against the top of the division).

    With that being said, Joshua has just been soundly beaten twice in a row by a southpaw. He seems to be avoiding tall, talented fighters. Obviously Eddie and Joshua would never willingly fight someone like Jalolov, but say for some reason it was forced - who takes it right now?

    Part of me thinks Joshua is done with boxing after he cried in the middle of the ring following his second loss to Usyk. At this point in his career, there are no big names out there for him except Wilder (who I don't believe he wants any part of). Fury isn't going to chase AJ because he doesn't need him, and AJ clearly will not chase Fury. It very well may be in 2-3 years that Joshua either retires for good or faces someone dangerous like Bakhodir.

    Jalolov would literally delete his chin in one shot

    It would be a brutal KO

    Joshua has had three fifty-fifty bouts in his ten year career, and has lost two of them. The one he managed to win he scraped by an old, inactive Klitschko who was coming off a loss and had one foot into retirement.

    His stock was built upon sales by Hearn that he was facing competitive opponents when most of them have been rubbish, and Hearn still perpetuates this myth by constantly referring to Joshua's record as "the best résumé in heavyweight boxing". Pulev, for instance, was a rubbish opponent but Hearn, Joshua fanboys and boxing hipsters like to peddle this myth which hinges upon Pulev having a "good jab". He's crap, and Molina, Breazeale, Takam, Martin, Mr Blobby Rice Pudding Jr of Saudi all worse. Parker was utterly toothless and Povetkin was old and had just been dropped by David Price who could only ever operate at British level.

    He won't face anyone who he has a fifty-fifty chance of beating him.

    Jalolov will be the next hypejob to be exposed. He's 28 and has fought no one.

    Hrgovic is worse. Arguably lost to 73 year old Zhang and is now demanding a title shot.
    28 isn't that old for a HW you would still expect him to have 8-10 years.

    Jalolov beats him. I think at this point Joshua needs a big money fight to motivate himself and Jalolov clearly isn't a big money fight for him. He's relatively skilled. Not super high on him but he'd probably beat AJ.

    Hearn would never ever match Joshua with someone like Jalolov and we all know why.

    A mentally weak Joshua would look insecure in the ring against Jalolov, who is perhaps even bigger than Joshua...

    All the top guys in the HW division have lousy resumes. Losing to Ruiz really hurt him and at that stage of his career is really inexcusable. Usyk is Usyk, the man can fight. No shame losing to him. IMO Joshua has faced better opposition than the other top heavies. But, will not argue that there has been some smoke and mirrors in his career.

    My first thought as well, problem is there are currently a lot of question marks around AJ's mind set. I'd favor AJ but boy I wouldn't want to bet a lot on it.

    Jalolov has great physical gifts and potential but he's too cautious, lacks variety with his offence and he seems a bit too fearful of getting hit for my liking. But it wouldn't take much tweaking, especially when it comes to incorporating more variety to his offence, to transform him into a beast. That being said, he has a long way to go before he gets to the level AJ operates on and he might not even get there.
