Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Eyes Deontay Wilder Sooner Than Later

[Tom Cruise]

Anthony Joshua needs to go in with Mariusz Wach. The Pole is a rock, not overly talented but the toughest guy out there. And he's a big lump too. Maybe he can go rounds and let us see if a fighter with huge arms like AJ, who lets his shots flow from the first bell, can maintain that punch out-put after six rounds and more, once the lactic acid starts doing its thing.

Wach and Arreola would be good tests for Joshua in the next 12 months. Test his stamina and his defence

This fight should simmer. It will be so damn massive, it would bring the HW division to the forefront in a way it hasn't been in a while. If one takes out Wlad(not likely).

People are often asking where the next Mike Tyson is. He's here, he's AJ.

Mike Tyson won a title after 28 fight which was the record until Vitali Klitschko did it in 25 fights (WBO). Could Joshua potentially do it before? I think so, especially if Klitschko retires and vacates his belts.

Jim Jeffries won the world HW title in his 13th pro fight. Leon Spinks won the WBA and WBC belts (the only 2 at the time) in his 8th pro fight. I think that ship has sailed for Joshua.

All true. Also, Cassius clay (Muhammad Ali) won the undisputed heavyweight championship in his 20th professional fight.

Another good one, can't think of any more off the top of my head. I guess Ingemar Johansson winning the undisputed HW title from Patterson in his 22nd pro fight.

I could see Joshua being ready for a title shot in 3 or 4 more fights

A little Buzz is already starting for it but both Joshua and Wilder will have to beat the rest of the Heavyweights and that is not going to be easy nor is that a Guarantee they can. I can see Tyson Fury ruining one of these fighters plans!

Honestly Joshua has by far the most layers of any heavyweight today. If he puts it all together he will dominate.

He beat some pretty awesome amateur heavyweights already who are top 10 pro worthy.

Tyson will be a great third wheel for these guys but he has no chin. Both Wilder and Joshua have way too much power for Fury..

he was a good amateur but i've seen at least five am fights in which he looked very beatable (i.e. flawed). hopefully he can advance to the next level
