AJ rant about modern day training and new heavyweights being better than the old is rubbish when you have a weak mentality. He crumbled against Ruiz and outwitted by Usyk.

"The good thing is about that one [Ngannou], we've already had a look at him now," Clarke told Sky Sports.

"Before Fury was like the tester. He had to get in there when he wasn't quite sure and neither were we about what he was going to get.
"I think he [Joshua] can beat him and can beat him well.

"If the world title is your aim, then I would probably say you'll want a more competitive name on your resume to get back to that stage.

"You've been at the top, you've come down a bit, and you've now just fought Otto Wallin to bridge the gap. Maybe you need to bridge the gap again to the next level up to get you ready for the world titles. I'm not sure if Ngannou is that?

"Saying that he had a good performance against Fury, but then again, what does it come down to? I hate having this conversation with people, because it's not what people want to hear, but pound notes is a massive thing in boxing and I think ultimately that will do the talking."

Zhilei Zhang's team confirmed he was also in talks to face Joshua, but Clarke believes the Chinese contender would be a very dangerous proposition after his back-to-back stoppage wins over Joe Joyce.

"He's going to be the one most avoided now, if I'm honest," said Clarke. "I think he's an absolute nightmare for a lot of fighters.

"He's a huge problem, he's a nightmare in the division.

"I don't think we'll see Anthony Joshua in the ring with him any time soon, unless it's for a world title in China.

"If anyone has got any brains about them, they'll learn from Joe Joyce's mistakes."

Joshua when you look at it how young he is and how huge he is and how muscular he is and how athletic he is should really be unbeatable but what has always struck me about him is that he seems to lack self-confidence and that killer instinct.

I'm surprised because the way he demolished Klitschko made me think he had a lot of killer instinct. I was honestly expecting to see Anthony Joshua continue fighting the same way he did against Klitschko and basically tear up the division. I guess we can say after he got knocked out by Ruiz that maybe he lost his confidence and he got spooked and became gun shy. I guess it happens to a lot of fighters. The thing that gets me about him though is look at how huge he is look at how massive he is he should technically be almost unbeatable when you Factor in his youthfulness and his athleticism.

Yes he has done well and only has three losses on his record. Avenged one of them even if it was in a snooze fest.

In a strange way in my opinion he has a lot in common with Adrian broner in that he seems to be a little bit disconnected from the reality around him and believes himself to be a lot greater than he actually is.

a long time ago they fought in 6 oz gloves. do you know that after you throw a few punches in 6 oz horse hair gloves the horse hair padding spreads out everywhere but your knuckles? there is no man that is so big that he can stand up to such a punch and back then knowing that they must have thought it so silly to be so big.

This "zero killer instinct" thing is a bit exaggerated. He can be overly cautious but you can't pretend he hasn't shown it on several occasions. Joshua had already caught Povetkin in round 6 and spurred on by that his instinct and finishing here in Round 7 is pretty flawless

He is plenty great without being A Great. He is a late starter and a bit of an overachiever really. Certainly much more than the robotic bodybuilder Fury pretends he is in order to hide his own overblown achievements. Joshua has good fundamentals, a killer uppercut, a decent jab and a pretty classy overhand right on occasion. He is a bit dull but refreshingly honest and free from the bullshit Fury etc sputs most of the time. No excusing his post-Usyk meltdown but Fury is way more embarrassing about 99% of the time he opens his gobshite mouth.

Personality wise his arguing with old rival Whyte during their fight and then the smile as he knows he is catching him and then the joy in finishing him so spectacularly suggests he doesn't take himself too seriously and can enjoy himself at times. Also another great example of a killer instinct more than capable of keeping Fury down and out
