Molina is on his way to Manchester, so it's obviously him. However, is he a better opponent than Price? Certainly more durable although i'll be surprised if he gives AJ the trouble he did Wilder.
Gone inside nine minutes.

I'd prefer price without a doubt
josh molina will be a very unmemorable fight , I'd be surprised if it goes anywhere near 9 minutes
theres a good chance price will last just as long, or less, but an all British world title fight like that would be an event in itself
molina is a real disappointment for me
Can't see much difference myself. If we're saying Price just because he's British, is that the Criteria now?or are the Brits Hijacking this title.
I thought it was a WORLD Title Joshua possessed, and being a World Champion should mean defending it against the people who deserve the shot the most, which would probably be neither of these in
equal measures. But hey ho!
Molina won't land a punch, I think it will be over within a few seconds
at least price is big enough and hits hard enough to have a chance of winning as small as it may be
i reckon if he could last the first quarter of the fight he might even have his moments
Molina is the shittest fight of all of the names mentioned over a he last few weeks
price is the best of those that are realistic
I prefer the Molina fight. He made a nuisance of himself with Wilder and shook him up pretty good before Wilder's crazy windmills got the better of him. He kinda quit in the Arreola fight, he had his moment and shook chubs up pretty good, when he fired back though he looked like he jacked it in.
Price is hard to sell, he's still damaged goods. He also of course might at some point remember that he's got Thors hammer in his right hand and chin Joshua the fuck out.
Price is probably more dangerous than Molina due to one-punch ironability but blimey, he'll be shakin stevens long before any punches are launched and Joshua will spark him with a tap.
I'd give Price 4 minutes to win or lose. 90% loss chance.
Molina is better for AJ because he needs a durable strong fighter to test himself against and which can be compared to Wilder.
Price would be knocked out within a round and is too fragile.
Neither opponent is worthy ppv. Only Wlad or Haye would be for different reasons.
What makes you "worthy" of PPV? Joshua has done hundreds of thousands of buys already against no-names. His viewing figures on regular Sky piss all over everyone else. He'll never be off PPV again until/unless his career goes down the shitter
I see little difference, guess I'd rather Price because it would be a bigger event and as said he does have a big punch. The chances of him landing it aren't any less than the chance Molina will hang in long or pose any problems the way I see it. Both enormous mismatches, but after PArker and then Wlad fell through with the date already being set, it was never going to be anything else. It's to AJs credit there are only a handful of guys who wouldn't be seen as a waste of time for him.
Just like those memorable events like Haye v Harrison, Akinwande v Lewis, Akinwande v Welch;DQuote:

Just look at his past couple of fights, yeah he has won them but he is so terrified of copping a slap on the jaw it's laughable, if he was to fight AJ he would forget about throwing punches and look to protect his chin, that would work for all of 60 seconds.
having said that, he did Wobble AJ in sparring so he is technically the legitimate champion of the world
For local consumption Price would be better. But for actual merit and defending against a top ten contender I'd go Molina. Either way both will be a matter of time showcase but AJ will see some depth from Molina that can benefit him long term.
I had hoped maybe Bryant Jennings or Ortiz would be offered the fight but after further review that's not possible... Anyways, both Molina and Price are crap fights but I guess Anthony doesn't have much choice because of the IBF rankings system... Remember guys, Anthony Joshua is the IBF champion. Neither Jennings nor Ortiz are ranked by the IBF and Ortiz is not available. He's fighting Malik Scott in Monte Carlo on November 12. He also may fight on the same card as Joshua but in a WBA sanctioned bout....
Six of one... half dozen of the other.
Just fight, get the KO win... and start making yourself (AJ) more unavoidable for the other HW's at the top of the scrap heap.
If need be, dispatch one, and then the other. Who cares about the order.
Molina is a journeyman and worse than Price as an opponent.
Price at least has one-punch KO power.
Price has no chin and severe confidence issues.Quote:

I'd have given Price a 10% chance of an upset.
I give Molina a 10% chance of surviving the first round.
Price would have made more sense
of course price matter a lot
That is clever.Quote:

Hearn must have had prior knowledge that AJ v Wlad would be confirmed as being sanctioned and has clearly taken the "non punching" opponent route to maximise the chances of the Wlad fight next spring.
Can't be proved of course but you'd bet your house he stalled AJ's next opponent until that was confirmed :)
Still a shit fight and not ppv worthy.Quote:

im not arsed if its PPV or not
im gonna sit and watch it and enjoy every minute of it and and not do any complaining along the way
Showtime would definitely prefer Molina. Either guy is just somebody to fill a hole in the schedule until they can make the fight with Junior.
Price would be gone during the ring walkQuote:

I like the idea of this, get it on the same bill Eddie
Amazed that one poster in particular isnt all over the story that early in camp Joshua was sparked out by Lawrence Okolie.
Turns out every man and his dog was there so it deffo happened, journalists, Rob McCracken, Ollie Murs.
Im amazed Joshua ever makes it to the ring the amount of time he spends unconscious.
Price = BrunoQuote:

Yes I think he would still have lost, his chin and mental frailty is his big problem. Price was fortunate they were caught but it would not have affected the result.Quote:

I think he would have beaten teper without a doubt
I read the levels of peds in his system was one of the highest in such a test and it was one of the worst failures ever
how teper wasn't banned for life I don't know, the drugs beat Price that day
with Thompson its too hard to say, he definitely had a massive advantage tho
