Who should Anthony Joshua fight next?

[BoxOfficer]

A true legit boxing heavyweight contender would be nice...

Sanchez or Hrgovic would be my picks.

Because Sanchez defeated Ajagba, he is now a legit boxing heavyweight contender? Very funny.

Personally, I don't think it is wise for Wilder to fight heavy puncher like Zhang after losing to Parker. He should go for at least two lowly ranked opponents/ gatekeepers to regain his confidence just like AJ did after losing twice to Usyk.

Context is important. Joshua didn't go after two lowly ranked opponents/gatekeepers after losing twice to Usyk. He went after Franklin and then Whyte. Whyte is no lowly ranked opponent. Hellinuis is just a late replacement and you know this.

Also he didn't go after a lowly ranked fighter after a loss; he rematched Usyk, and moved on only after.

Wilder should have rematched Parker. Now that he didn't, he should fight someone credible, like Bakole, Ruiz, Kabayel, Hirgovic, Dubois, or Whyte. If he loses again then he can get a soft touch. Besides, his entire career is packed with soft touches.

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.

Aw someone give that tard attention

Shot old Wilder if he can stop being as high as the mountains he keeps visiting.

Kabayel who's incredibly underrated.

Derek war chisora cus he del boy must have thought every one but Joshua lol.

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.

He should have lost that Zhang fight and I never rated Zhang highly to begin with. Hrgovic's level of competition has been extremely poor through his career. The only other names on his resume are absolute geezers like Mansour, Molina, Booker, and Johnson.[/QUO

Zhang would have won if he had a gas tank

[QueensburyRules]

I don`t know.

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...

You've made a valid points here. Kudos!
