Last nights fights asked as many questions as it answered for me.
Good bout though and I enjoyed it, pleased for Joshua.
He's still quite some way away from Fury's level. His chin for starters just got tested last night and it's not very good

Emotion ,that is one thing AJ has to control,last night I thought he fought an emotional fight,even though it might not have looked like it .Once he matures more ,emotionally and mentally ,he will eat the biscuit ! Having watched a lot of The Brown Bomber ,he reminds me a lot of him,and you can't say more than that .

Don't see him beating Fury at the moment. Fury has really developed as a fighter and if he sticks to a game plan then Josh will find it hard to hit him.
A decent fighter would have taken Joshua apart last night.
He's nowhere near ready to fight Fury, Haye or anyone of that caliber.
Chisora would give him problems.
But, he is young, and he looks for KO's and is an exciting fighter.
He's also got a lot of years ahead of him and lots of chance to improve, so let's see.

Agreed.
That was exactly what Joshua needed last night, he took a big shot, got hurt, recovered and came through it. He made plenty of mistakes he can learn from and not make again and got a nice active 7 rounds in.
Don't understand the glass chin talk, he took a full blooded shot from a guy who can punch and didn't go down. Are you not allowed to get hurt from a heavyweight punch these days, seriously? So he doesn't have a granite chin like Vitali, who does??? Even the solid chinned Vitali was floored and hurt by Corrie Sanders, these are heavyweight punches for goodness sake, it's not like AJ was floored by a cruiserweight like Fury was.
Chisora would be a good step up next.
I think Chisora would have a strong chance of scoring a KO.
Fury would get inside his head with his taunts about being a druggie on steroids etc.
Would be interesting
You say fury is better than AJ
I say 'shat up'

Completely agree.
It appears that many people dislike the hype around Joshua. I understand this but I still rate him as a fantastic prospect and a future world champion. He's not a other David Price. He took a heavy shot, came back and carried his power through to the mid rounds. This fight was exactly what he needed.
Del Boy is an experienced durable heavyweight, Haye kncoked him out but I think thats the only time he's been stopped.
For AJ I would say thats a sensible step up from Whyte. Del Boy brings the prospect of taking AJ into the later rounds and keeping the pace up, yet I don't think he carries punching power like Whyte.
Fury also stopped Del boy. I think AJ will KO Del Boy too. It will probably be his last pay day before he becomes a journeyman.
A good fight for AJ v Chisora .He would get a lot more experience,which is exactly what he needs,but I think that he would stop Chisora in the later rounds.
By the time anything materialises with Fury ,AJ will be more than ready.
For me the op Of this thread just stinks of not understanding that there are levels between complete bum and world champion and that while aj is well past bum level he ain't at world champion level just yet.
Aj got a good win and it was a test, but to think he is now ready to take on and beat a world champion is I think laughable.
He needs some more fights, increasing now to good solid heavyweights who will test him, he made mistakes and did things that would get him beat if he went to world level.
He needs to take on fighters which will challenge him to close those holes and then move on from there, in the same way he fought bums before stepping up to last night.
There isint just no mark journeymen and world champions, there is loads inbetween which aj needs to take on now.
There's no way Joshua would beat Fury rat this moment in time
I think Fury would more than likely knock Joshua out if they fought right now
Give it a couple of years and then maybe Joshua would win
