Who should Anthony Joshua fight next?

I'd like to see Bakole and Ruiz enter the Saudi heavy picture somewhere. Sanchez is not for me - he might very well excel against better competition but he's just not much fun is he? The heavies could be really fun with, ironically, the biggest fight between Fury and Usyk losing all kinds of lustre and maybe by the time it comes around interest? Fury murdered the hype for that one. I don't know if Wilder is fussed about getting back because if he shows the same application he showed vs Parker he's not gonna beat any of the top heavyweights and he'll likely get knocked out by most of them. Unless its huge money I'm sure he is in riding off into the sunset territory. Who would Wilder definitely beat with a name? Whyte? Maybe Miller. They're both still big guys who will put it on him I think it's almost time we give up on Andy tbh, he's not fought for almost 18 months, God knows what size he's up to now. He's well into his 30s now and his feet were already way too slow in his 20s. I don't have high hopes sadly.

Bakole/Takam was on the Fury/Ngannou undercard. already been on a Saudi card. I wish Bakole was more active. Completely missed that card. That's good that Bakole is on there. He's dangerous

Time to put the myth of The Cuban Flash to bed and AJ may as well be the one to do it... It's not like he's got anyone else on his dance card and needs to bank a few decent rounds by the time a title shot becomes available. Sanchez will give him that with interest! Follow Parker's lead and clear out the division. Take Hrgovic to school, expose Sanchez, rematch Parker, end Wilders career whatever, just don't go back to crushing cans and putting on exhibitions. If he gets through those you're mentioning. He needs to do it first. He might not be able to expose Sanchez, who knows.

Whichever boxer he was going to face had it not been Ngannou. I just posted in another thread, the Ngannou fight does not change anything in regards to AJ and his position in boxing. Ngannou fight was a money fight that did nothing in terms of his rankings in boxing. He just moves on now to the next one.

Time to put the myth of The Cuban Flash to bed and AJ may as well be the one to do it... Honestly... I've never been impressed with him and never understood why people have considered him among the top 10. I must be missing something entirely or I must not know shit about boxing........

But the young man has beaten all placed in front of him. He got his ass whooped by Zhang, who is a fat ancient overrated bum himself, and got a gift. And all the rest of his opposition was horrible. Hrgovic has zero quality wins and he has zero business in a title fight of any kind.

Hrgovic is a major bum and the next highest rated guy by the IBF besides Joshua is DuBois, who is a major bum. But the young man has beaten all placed in front of him.

Who and who are the bums? Hrgovic is a major bum and the next highest rated guy by the IBF besides Joshua is DuBois, who is a major bum.

Hrgovic. Keep that bum from getting to knock over another bum for the vacant IBF if/when the Usyk v Fury winner gets stripped. Who and who are the bums?

The word "legit" should be taken out. He hasn't done anything to warrant that tag. He hasn't even been in any final eliminator to begin with. More legit? Zhang, Hirgovic, Dubois, Joyce, Kabayel, Wallin, Whyte. Even Bakole is way ahead of him. Beating an undefeated Yoka was better than beating an undefeated Ajagba. And to add to that, Bakole has Kuzmin & Takam. Sanchez needs about two more solid wins to get into the convo. I couldn't agree more.

There are not many more legit condenders, are there? The word "legit" should be taken out. He hasn't done anything to warrant that tag. He hasn't even been in any final eliminator to begin with.

Because Sanchez defeated Ajagba, he is now a legit boxing heavyweight contender? Very funny. There are not many more legit condenders, are there?

Hopefully he fights a ranked boxer next. I hope so too. Though, Ngannou was ranked by the WBC.

If Fury is genuinely gonna be tied with up with Usyk then i'd be happy with Sanchez, Hrgovic, Bakole or Parker 2. Its a shame that Wilder, Zhang, Joyce and Makhmudov all got derailed because those would have been great options too. Exactly.

I don`t know if Joshua beats Fury, Zhang, Sanchez, Hrgovic, Kabayel. But I am sure he would fight all of them. I must say I respect Joshua as a fighter. He wouldn`t say who the f.uck is Hrgovic, he would just fight him. I had liked Fury more. But Fury disappointed me with taking to many easy fights and he ducked almost all the challengers. Joshua is ready to take them on. So true!

Sanchez believes himself to be a legit boxing heavyweight contender. I'd like to see him prove it against AJ and AJ prove he can expose Sanchez as not... I think Sanchez should go for Joyce or Dubios if he doesn't get called upon by Joshua.

I think he should fight Fury next. And it is possible, only if Fury is willing. I don't buy into this talk of a two fight deal between Fury/Usyk. I agree it is in the contract, but I believe the Saudis will pay step aside to one of the parties after the first fight and then allow AJ hop in. Even if Fury comes out the loser of the undisputed, we can still have AJ/Fury and Usyk/Hirgovic. There's also a chance Fury shuns the undisputed and goes straight into an AJ fight. Better to lose to AJ than to Usyk. Nothing will surprise me with Fury. If all the above isn't an option, then go for Kabayel or a Justin Hunni while he waits; fight Hirgovic only if it is for a vacant belt. Yea, Fury's fight could've made more sense but as said, contractual obligations won't make that feasible for now. Besides, I am not so sure that Fury will ever want to fight this version of Josh. It seems he is extremely obsessed with his unbeaten record. Dubois, Ajagba, Bakole, Parker, Kabayel or Sanchez are a good lots to choose from. I don't know about Hunni, though.
