Anthony Joshua vs. Mariusz Wach

[PainfromUkraine]

Nice! Would be crazy if AJ manages to knock him out.

This will tell exactly where Joshua's power is. If he gets any stoppage other than a questionable Howard Foster style TKO, we'll know we have a genuinely world class puncher on our hands.

[Mitchell Kane]

Like the match-up.

Wach is a solid opponent at this stage for Joshua.

[LacedUp]

I think Joshua would get a KO in this fight. He's a much more aggressive fighter than Klitschko. Sometimes that can confuse people.

However, his punching power is not the question in this fight - we know it's legit. His stamina is the real test.

What happens if he throws everything at Wach in the first 4-5 rounds and he's still standing and there's 5-7 rounds to go. That's what I'd like to see.

[SN!PER]

If Joshua knocks out this freak of nature, he'll become the most ducked heavyweight fighter in history.

[kiaba360]

Joshua really needs an opponent who will give him rounds, and I think Wach fits the bill. Joshua via 8th round stoppage.

[PainfromUkraine]

Stiverne might be a good opponent after this if AJ gets past Wach.

Wach
Whyte
Stiverne
Thompson

And maybe winner of Price v Chisora if that happens

Maybe even throw someone like Pulev in there...

If AJ managed to get a series of wins like that in impressive fashion he'd be more than ready to be challenging for the title in the first quarter of 2017.

[BOMB ZQUAD]

Let's hope Joshua doesn't bite off more than he can chew.. that'll completely ruin his potential and record

Klitschko was very agressive against Wach and yet, he (Wach) somehow managed to survive. That's why we think this fight is legit.

I think this is a good fight, and actually said I'd like this to happen after the Johnson fight.

What are your thoughts and is AJ ready?

We will find out if he is ready. wach can take a punch but he is still kind of an enigma. How good is wach? he has only beaten guys like gavern, walker, hammer,tye fields, airich. he took a beating from wlad but took it well. was it the roids that helped him take those punches? other then the klitschko fight this is probably his toughest opponent. oloukan was probably his toughest opponent other then klitschko.
