Comments Thread For: Hearn on Anthony Joshua Foes: Thompson, Arreola, Solis

[Cuban Linx]

Now these are the kinds of step ups I was talking about.

I'd like to see someone like Arreola preferably of the three. I think that would make an explosive and exciting fight and Arreola will actually punch back, something other Joshua opponents haven't done.

I think Whyte or Price next would be ideal. Some decent to solid domestic level guy whatever the case. Then a Chisora or even a Solis in September maybe. I'd leave Thompson or Arreola & probably even Charr fights til 2016.

Let Joshua get some more rounds/experience under his belt. Kid is still young & there is no rush. Right now it seems like his estimated time of arrival in the title shot discussion will be late 2016, early 2017 at the pace he's moving. And even that seems pretty quick. And lets not forget this is boxing & **** can change on a dime with a bad performance or a L.

No need to risk too much too soon. Gradually move him up & even taking slight moves back to stay busy & in the news is the move here.

Arreola is a good fight to take soon. He isnt the best but he would bring it for all the time he is in the ring. Plus hes a decent offensive fighter when he wants to be.

The Arreola who showed up for the last Stiverne fight is a top 10 HW for sure!!

Thomspon is/was always good too.

Arreola and Thompson are 2 of the best HW's never to have won a major world title.

I see, named-dropping Charr again. They want nothing to do with the Diamond Boy; no one does.

AJ vs Dillian Whyte would be good. Whyte is big, strong and ambitious. He would come to fight and it would be very exciting while it lasted.

They've got history as everyone knows and let me tell you The Villian is a bad bad boy. I know of him through London social circles and he's a naughty fighter. Hard as they come. He's been dispatching guys just like AJ. I think AJ knocks him out but this one will have some real venom too it!

[FlatLine]

Arreola fight has got to happen. That would be huge worldwide - Arreola has a hell of way with words so the build up will be hilariously entertaining too muthaphukas. Not to mention, Arreola recently fought for the heavyweight world title so that will be Joshua's toughest opponent by a long way. A fight where Joshua might have to dig deep if he can't phase Arreola early set to take place under the scorching summer heat. It's too good to miss, make it happen.

Thompson would probably last the longest.

[MrRolltide91]

hopefully its thompson

[KO'er]

If Joshua were to fight either of Thompson, Arreola or Solis mid-July then a big domestic fight in September, that would be some schedule!

[LacedUp]

Why do people want to see Thompson? A fight with Arreola is 100 times more intriguing.
