This kid is absolutely the real deal. What's not to love about him?

Next fight absolutely needs to be a world level operator. Arreola would be nice.

I am really hoping we see him fight Wilder, Povetkin or Wlad soon. Or Fury.

Joshua seems like a beast but Cornish has little power, can't take a good shot, and it may be generous to call him mediocre. Hopefully 2016 will see AJ step up to at least fringe-contender types.

I'd love to see him in with Wilder, but I doubt he'll get that anytime soon. On your list the most realistic fight would be Fury if he loses to Klitschko. I could see that happening next year.

I'd like to see him fight Jennings too. Arreola, Jennings, and then Povetkin if he beats Wilder.

I'd like to see him in with someone with some ambition and who has above British level ability...which I think..sums up my view on his opposition so far. Best opponent was Johnson who came for a retirement payday and could never punch...how about a Teper? Wach? Jennings? Plenty of other options out there...

Jennings is also a good fight.

Obviously he's got Whyte in December, but after that I wouldn't be surprised if he goes after Teper for the European belt.

Joshua is a beast. He knew he could demolish Cornish and just went in there and did it.

I have a lot of respect for Anthony Joshua as a contender, but he needs to encounter some resistance if he is to improve. It's not easy to find someone who can take him deep either, though, considering that he's made very short work of Denis Bakhtov, Kevin Johnson, and Raphael Love. There aren't a whole lot of journeymen / gatekeepers with 10 losses (0 KO) that you can match him with and guarantee that it will go deep. You pretty much just have to put him in with someone in the top 50 with few losses who has shown reasonable toughness, like Odlanier Solis, Ruslan Chagaev, or Antonio Tarver.

Arreola's a bad example. Not only did he barely get past Curtis Harper in March, but if you hadn't heard, he also drew with Fred Kassi in July. Couldn't even manage a win against a guy who was #275 in the world. Ever since the KO to Stiverne, Arreola has been completely finished.

I saw the Kassi fight. Fred was robbed, he won that fight.

That being said, Cris is a good guy to see your first fourth round against if you really are the goods. He's got busy hands, decent pop, and has experience against the best. Nothing bad for the first step out of domestic level.

Arreola is an over weight bum. Joshua gains nothing from beating his face for 3 rounds. After Whyte, I would want to see him against Chagaev or Teper.

I heard he was involved in illegal activities and snitched on his boys.

Would it be too ridiculous to look for someone like Chisora or Stiverne after Whyte?

I would love to see him destroy Joe Parker

Hearn said in the post fight pressed whyte in December and he wants teper for joshua in March for the European

WOW Minto again showed he loss everything that used to make him a competitive fighter which was heart, durability and mental strenght... Whyte is always showing fluid hands... Cornish had no shot since he was only effective on the inside and no way Joshua was going to let him do so... Joshua was able to land a few shots while Cornish tried to close the distance... Whyte can throw fluid combos with cumulative pop from distance. is that enough to work around Joshua's lengthy jab and complementary fast offense. It;s an intriguing matchup. Wish WHyte would;ve gotten more time mafter his suspension. he would need more opponents like minto in a short frame of time

Problem is Hearn says a lot but...delivers little...

Impressive... Hows amatuer credentials ?

Next is Dyllian Whyte, perhaps Carlos Takam or Tony Thompson after?
Lucas Browne, Alexander Ustinov?
I'd love to see Andy Ruiz Jr, but I don't think he dares, or Arnold Gjergjaj who never fought somebody with a name, just like his last opponend.


Even though everything is going extremely smooth I still wouldn't advise to fight the real top straight away.

Otherwise you get something like Jennings, who's still the best American in my opinion but seems to have lost all confidence after he stepped up from Mike Perez to Klitschko.



What I also like about him is that he's still fighting like every two weeks if he got the chance.
Perhaps he can even do Luis Ortiz in between Cornish and Whyte.

How's Bermaine Stivern these days? It'd be interesting to see AJ take him on - for the Wider comparison.

Going for the european belt next does make the best sense, especially with a dangerous but beatable puncher in Teper. After Whyte and Teper should know a lot more about how Joshua can take a shot and deal with big punchers.

Stiverne was keen to fight Ortiz, but Don King refused to sign it off. Sparred with Parker a few days ago in Vegas

That's an easy one for Parker right?
Ortiz should fight fight guys like Shannon Briggs, they are really quite equal I think. I think Briggs is even a little better.

Chisora would be a good shout.

Dereck is a bit of pudding who usually loses when he steps up class, but it would give Joshua an indication of where he is in his career.

If he can blitz Chisora, then he will know he is just about ready to step up to the big boys.

For me the current top 15 is something like this:

1 Klitschko
2 Povetkin
3 Kubrat Pulev
4 Ruslan Chagaev
5 Anthony Joshua
6 Joseph Parker
7 Bryant Jennings
8 Lucas Browne
9 Alexander Ustinov
10 Vyacheslav Glazkov
11 Tyson Fury
12 Erkan Teper
13 Francesco Pianeta
14 Arthur Szpilka
15 Carlos Takam

Chisora simply wouldn't be a serious test, Chisora is about equal to Dillian Whyte for me.
