So who will be Joshuas first opponent?

[beenKOed]

Currently fighting guys who he doesn't have to prepare for and also guys that he is basically told about 2 weeks before he fights them.

So when it gets to the stage that he needs to pick a fighter that's decent and he has to have a camp to prepare for, who do you think it'll be?

I'd say Seth Mitchell would be a good first step up for him.

You guys are killing me. Man! Give this guy a chance to mature a little.
He sparred with Wlad, now Wlad is saying good things about him. Wlad says good things about other boxers all the time.
He's fighting decent opponents. He's had 7 pro bouts, winning all by KO. Let him progress at a pace his handlers know will be best for him.

Once again, if you people read the damn posts.......

I NEVER once read "rush him rush him".

I'm asking about once he IS ready to step up.

Jesus.

He has had 7 pro fights and you are wondering who he is going to "step up against" a year or more from now!
With all the things that could happen in boxing before Anthony is ready to "step up", it doesn't make sense to even think about it. IMO
Look at Brook, he was brought along at a moderate pace and now he's a Title holder brimming over with confidence, poise, and adaptability.
Experience in hard times and good times is what a talent like Joshua needs the most. I'm worrying he might be rushed beyond his experience.
