    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.

      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.

        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!

          Its a shame that Wilder, Zhang, Joyce and Makhmudov all got derailed because those would have been great options too.
          Exactly.

            I hope so too. Though, Ngannou was ranked by the WBC.

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

                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.

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