Aj to fight some bum no one has heard of and spark him out.

Not a lot of fault on AJ/Hearns part in this.

Michael Hunter seems to be the favourite.

Maybe not his fault and he can only beat who is put in front of him. For me, until he is truly tested he's the next Frank Bruno but in a much less talented heavyweight division

By that I mean..looks the part but ultimately as soon as he meets a real fighter at his peak hes gonna be knocked out. The NZ guy would have beat him if it wasnt for the referee constantly stopping him getting in close

Can’t say I agree with that at all. AJ is the real deal IMO

Ok he might prove to be the real deal in the current division but I think my point stands. The current heavyweight division doesnt bear comparison with previous. Would he beat Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Frazier, Holmes, Ali etc etc. I respecfully say no. Its a weak division right now and he hasnt yet met anyone half decent quality who has been able to (Klitchko past his best) or been allowed to (Parker) truly test him

He might not be as good a boxer as the half dozen you have listed but that's not to say he wouldnt have beaten them, Joshua is a big guy with a huge punch. I do agree that the heavyweight scene isnt great outside the top 5 or 6 but he can only beat the guys in front of him

You’re quoting the all time greats of the Heavyweight division. AJ might not be as good as these guys but that’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

From my point of view, AJ has beat everyone in front of him, and battered a Klitschko who looked much more dangerous than the punch shy version Fury squeezed past. It totally baffles me Fury gets more credit for his win over VK than Joshua does.

Compare the CV’s of Fury, AJ & Wilder - Joshua has beat much better fighters in less fights. He will clear up the division IMO, and go down as an all time great.

Agree he could well clear up the division, although I'd like to see him fight Fury. But an all time great? Nah!

If he clears up the division he will be undisputed Heavyweight champion. That enough will see him go down as an all time great IMO.

The fights against Fury and Wilder are inevitable in my opinion. Over the next 2-3 years we will see them all square off against each other. Add in Usyk, the potential of Dubouis aswell, some great heavyweight scraps ahead.
