IMO, if fury beats wilder then in a fight against AJ I think fury would win.

Tbf I totally forgot about the drug test stuff. I meant I respected his performance tonight anyway.

Only seen the highlight but good to see Joshua fight through after taking some good shots.
Really hope he takes on the winner of Fury Wilder next.

Size is his problem, well lack of it. That and power.
He’s forgot more about the art of boxing than any current heavyweight will ever know, Fury included. Usyk is special.

When I posted that, AJ had gotten his nose opened up with a great shot.
He's still fought nobody worth talking about in their prime. Hyped up to the max.

It's a bit difficult because the heavyweight division isn't overwhelmed with top notch talent in comparison to other divisions.
The only person he can fight who is in their prime is wilder. It can be argued fury isn't in his prime after 2 years away, so who else is there that joshua can fight?
Whyte is getting better with each fight, so there could be a rematch there and there are a few up and comers that are trying to make a name for themselves like Jarell Miller and Daniel Dubois (although miller has had a similar number of fights as Joshua), so it's difficult for joshua to have fought anyone in their prime when the heavyweight division isn't as stacked as it once was.

He’s currently got the best resume in heavyweight boxing (active).

Who has he fought besides (late 30's) Klitschko and Povetkin? Not much.

Who in heavyweight boxing does currently have a great resume?
Outside of Fury beating Klitschko I don’t think anyone has anything that impressive.

True, but my point is about AJ being massively overhyped...which he is.
As for Heavyweight, Usyk, Hughie Fury, Yoka, Hrgovic, Daniel Dubois, and Nathan Gorman are all good for the future of the division...someone's going to give AJ a loss at some point.
Looking forward to Fury v Wilder.

He is, boxing lives off it.
It is not a golden time for the division in terms of quality but the competition is there.
Flawed boxers who are all coming together at the same time.

Joshua is overhyped of course, but that’s actually making him a little underrated. He’s still improving.
He’s not Lennox Lewis of course but the difference in a 28yr old Lewis and the 34 yr old version was significant.
There’s some decent talent coming through so the amount of challengers will be healthy. Of the names mentioned ( bar Usyk who’s different gravy ) Hrgovic is the one I’ve always been impressed with. Yoka the least impressive. He was given gift after gift in the unpaid ranks. He’s not made for the pro game imo.
Still, I’d be shocked if any of them names ( bar Usyk ) beat Joshua. 2/3 might not even reach that level.
