    Fury or Wilder. No point for Hearn to long this out, just get it over with and cash out your depreciating asset.

    Fury obviously, but he's not going to be ready for awhile.

    Maybe Ruiz again is plausible, if Ruiz doesn't fight Wilder.

    I don't think anyone is afraid of Joshua anymore, this against Franklin was not good because he used to regularly knock out such opponents, Wilder would crush him and Fury is a story by itself, Give us Joshua vs. Hrgovic...

    Wilder is still the fight to make because imo at least he has a chance. And it’s a guaranteed KO one way or the other.

    Fury would clown and embarrass him

    Chris Arreola, and I think a motivated Arreola can give him big issues.

    I went back & forth for a minute between those two, finally voting Fury.

    Agree, but do you think Hearn will do this? It's likely Hearn tries to drag out/ milk AJs career. Is Whyte 2 next for AJ?
    I don't want to see another Franklin opponent for AJ, should be a legit top 10 HW. If he wins then a fight vs. Fury, Wilder, or Joyce.

    Honestly hes needing more fights like tonight. Anything above that level in his current state could very well go wrong.

    Got to give him a chance to suceed. Chucking him in with anyone decent will probably end badly atm. Maybe even at any point from now on....got to at least give him the chance to suceed tho. I,d sack the trainer as well. Not enough improvement. Arguably he was worse tonight than the 2nd usyk fight.

    If he is to suceed he has to completely change his style. Still too upright. Matter of time before he gets caught against any decent puncher. Take him to ingle or booth. Or even wilders old trainer. All three use a system that would suit joshua.

    Most of the other trainers will keep the upright style....wont be good enough to get him where he wants to be. Needs to role the dice and take a gamble. I know it takes time with a new trainer.....but if your worse than your last fight with your old trainer....its probably not a good sign. High output and yet heaviest of his career....that wont end well against a bigger test than franklin.

    Fury, Wilder or Joyce. No point messing around, he might actually lose to another Ruiz level fighter anyway.

    He needs a big fight. He slept walked today and is ripe to lose to a second tier fighter. His only chance is a big name motivates him to actually fight because style wise he could knock out Wilder. At this point if Fury is motivated it’s a bridge too far for Joshua

    Feed him to Hrgovic. It would be a nice career boost for Filip
