I was just using him as an example. I don't think we'll see Joshua in any difficult fight in the near future unless that fight is Haye or Fury. Hearn won't risk him losing unless there's a massive reward on offer and that only comes if he fights 1 of those 2.

I wonder if Khan would want to step up a few more weights if he beats Alvarez? He's clearly dumb enough.

Can't see it. For all the trash talk there's a very competent fighter behind that mouth. He's got a world class jab and he's not afraid to throw it continually until he sees an opening. AJ's just too small to get near him imo.

1.98m vs 2.06m - struggle to see how he is 'too small'. I would say a small HW these days would be around 1.90. Even then height may be an advantage but its not everything.

Following this I don't see Fury in a hurry to fight Joshua.
 
Not sure why people think Haye is some sort of boxing god... He got put down by Mormeck at cruiser and looked like he might lose... Against Barrett at heavy he got put down and was easily pushed back... What exactly is his best performance? Maccarinelli?
 
I'm not so sure AJ is a gear head. Not if you look into how he eats and trains, he doesn't have days off.

Also doesn't look bloated enough and doesn't shy from the cameras throughout the year to hide anything.

It's something to joke about, but i'm not convinced.

Expect he will be fighting Wilder soon, that is more likely than a Fury or Klitschko.

At the moment I think he'll just be a bit too quick and will stay out of range.

Also Haye will probably cash in on Briggs first.

Been other sportsmen with that who were tested beyond the limits to confirmed clean. Doesn't mean anything.

Not to say he hasn't found other loopholes mind.

The loophole is probably the pound sign £££.

He has to. He still hasn't been tested and nobody will take him seriously on a global level until that happens.

Will he care? Would you take an easy fight that pays you £2m, a difficult fight against somebody nobody has heard of that pays you £2.5m or Haye/Fury for £10m? You're not risking that bubble bursting for an extra £500k.
