Even on Sky, Froch is honest. Not a yes man, he’s grown on me over the years. He’s right with his assessment, Wilder would leave AJ in an ambulance and no one wants to see that. Fury would just toy with him and finish him with non stop punches late. Can also see Joyce beating him relatively easily. There’s a few others who’d fancy their chances in their tonight after watching that fight.

I’m afraid I agree with Superlancashire.Joshua just reminds me of a modern day Frank Bruno.A big man, who should be bullying his opponents, yet gets outthought and outboxed.That first loss to Andy Ruiz was so damaging and even though he beat him in the rematch, that put doubts in so many boxing experts minds.But there’s no question the Usyk losses have damaged Joshua.His meltdown after the second loss was embarrassing.While I’m no fan of Fury and Wilder, I just can’t see Joshua beating either of them.He’d need to change his mindset and his style of fighting.Wilder has a vicious punch,and could have knocked out Fury in their first fight,but Fury recovered.I couldn’t see Joshua recovering from the sort of one/two that floored Fury.

[@tedgoodfellow9103]

Down to earth comments, Carl Froch. I thought back in 1212 that Anthony Joshua was favoured over his Italian opponent by winning Gold because the Olympics were held in London. In his professional career I don't think he has been convincing when up against the top level. With the money he must have accrued he'd be well advised to retire rather than box anyone from the 'A' Team, when losing might lead to more embarrassing post fight displays. Regards from Blighty :).
