He has said he wants to fight anyone of the title holders for the last 2 years, everyone except Wlad, he was hoping he would retire. Nothing has come of all that talk, and Wilder continues to take on eazybeat after eazybeat.
Parker is probably the easyiest target with a belt- assuming he beast Huey.
I would like to see that matchup because much as everyone wants Wilder Vs AJ, I'm pretty sure that ain't gonna happen

It's one of the very few fights I thjnk could happen actually. AJ did everything he could to make sure this fight was possible. Same TV station as Wilder, and things like that. On top of that, AJ is the best payed heavyweight in the world to fight against, Wilder is probably willing to offer his belt up for that money. And since Wilder knows he will lose, no matter what, I expect the fight to happen in the UK, since that offers a lot more money as the same fight in America. Despite AJ was willing to fight in America.

There are a few problems, AJ was also willing to help Ortiz out and I would enjoy it if he fights Povetkin, who's obviously better as Deontay Wilder and should have received the WBC belt ages ago.

I tend to read the text of a post before I know who wrote it. Sometimes I check to see who it was, sometimes I don't. In this case I knew exactly who wrote it, I didn't need to look.

Saad, your faith in Wilder is really quite touching.

I fervently hope that he goes on to prove you to absolutely right, but I'm not holding my breath. He really doesn't seem in any rush to test his credentials.

I've spoken to many fighters and his confidence comes off as genuine as any of them. Obviously the time is now. It's easier said than done in this landscape. The Povetkin farce was his proving ground. He needs another one, hopefully they can buy stiverne off.
