I don't see Journeymen. Hellinuis was a late replacement (context is important). Kabayel is on record on YouTube saying he turned down the chance of being the late replacement.
Prior to fighting Wallin, many folks here said he was ducking. They even claimed Whyte ducked Wallin as well. Wallin was rated highly here but surprisingly became trash immediately after the loss.
If AJ demolishes Dubois, the narrative will be the same as the others. That's how the forum operates. AJ is the cash cow and can't possibly fight everyone at the same time. If not for the Saudis, he probably would have been the only guy who would fight the kind of guys you mentioned.
Joshua`s run after two Usyk loses is not impressive.
Franklin, Helenius, Wallin, Ngannou
I have no problem with Joshua fighting journeymen, but he can`t claim being top 3 guy if he keeps on fighting this level opposition.

AJ is not currently a belt holder; he can fight whoever he wants.
Though I believe Dubois and Zhang are the frontrunners, mostly Dubois in the UK with or without the belt; Dubois being a Brit makes more sense for Wembley.

Who is there?
Parker
Kabayel
Zhang
Dubois
If Joshua fights someone else...it will be a bad look.

Parker is pretty fast right?
he got knocked down twice. beaten black and blue. nose broken. i contend AJ doesn't survive that level of abuse. Parker was a tough punching bag to be certain.
True, though i still reckon AJ would fancy his chances against Zhang than Parker or Dubois.
Ruiz had some of the fastest hands in the division and he couldn't catch AJ on his bike in the rematch.
Zhang might have fast hands but he's a plodder Parker timed and controlled distance because of it.
If Parker can, AJ can. Not because AJ is better but because Zhang blows a foo foo valve after 6 rounds.

once again, he can't do that vs Zhang because Zhang is taller with same reach and very fast. AJ will get touched.

Your breakdown is incredibly simplistic.
It's like Top *****s
Well Zhang has a 9.5 for power and AJ only has. 9, and Zhang has a 9 for reach and Ruiz only had a 7 so Zhang beats AJ
listen up,
Robert Helenius beat AJ swollen and bloody LMFAO holy fuk this idiot

He did for Ruiz 2.
Dude was back pedalling his bike so fast i thought he was Hughie Fury in blackface.

Not when he was standing in the middle of the ring exchanging with him at point blank range, no.
I like Zhang but AJ is a horrible style matchup for him, Zhangs best wins are over Joe Joyce who is literally a stationary punchbag, and the ghost of Wilder who in his prime now, couldn't hold a shot from Tyson Fury.
AJ is a very different proposition from those guys.
if only Zhang could land.

AJ couldn't avoid the shots from a 5'10 midget.

AJ can avoid Zhang's hardest punch for the 1st 6 rounds then go to work.
Easiest way to prove it is if AJ rematched Parker or fought Zhang.
Given the choice of whomever AJ wants to fight and Turki made it quite clear its all on Joshua, he'd pick the path of least resistance abd that path is Zhang...IMHO.

no he wouldn't.
AJ doesn't have Hrgovic and Parker's chin.
zhang will be by far the hardest puncher. and he can deliver it.

AJ would run circles around Zhang for the win. Parker would outbox AJ for the win.
It's not about danger. It's about having a gameplan and executing it over 12 rounds.
no he wouldn't.

AJ wins this one easy!! Zhang is too slow, defense not so good, low punch output... AJ will just box him for the 1st half and then get to work in the 2nd half of the fight, stopping Zhang.
That's exactly the way I see it.
