Though Wilder succeeded against Ortiz he struggled enough that if you're his promoter you probably don't want to d*ck around fighting lesser fights and risk the opportunity of him losing and you missing out on that Multi-Million dollar payday.

So basically. My guess is either Wilder is gonna fight Joshua next, or he's gonna go back to defending his title against guys that aren't ranked in the Top 10 until the Joshua fight comes along. They're not gonna risk him against another dangerous opponent that's not named Joshua.

Generally speaking, I agree with you, but you never know. For example - the great offer from super-wealthy Russian promoters for Povetkin fight (not likely, but possible).

Yeah that's possible, but if Povetkin is still slated to fight David Price in the U.K. I'd figure that if somebody is gonna be fighting Povetkin soon it'd be AJ. Because that's surely the idea behind bringing him to the U.K. to flatten Price.

I prefer to see Povetkin vs. Whyte, it would be a competitive fight. I feel Joshua would destroy Povetkin, easily. I am off topic, again.....Sorry.............

I think you might be over estimating Whyte.

Wilder will probably take any easy fight like Breazale but after this sensational war with Ortiz the audience should be big just based on the excitement factor. Another "donnybrook" surely wouldnt hurt sales for an eventual PPV showdown with Joshua.

mate, you went on and on about how youd massively lose respect for aj if he fought miller, but your all enthusiastic about breazeale for wilder? double standards much?

Not a double standard. Wilder & AJ have established different standards THEMSELVES. AJ has consistently faced better fighters than Deontay, with Ortiz being the lone exception. Miller is a step down for AJ, but Breazeale is the same kind of 2nd-tier scrub Wilder has routinely feasted on before Ortiz. If Wilder KOs anyone in his pre-Joshua tuneup it will help sell PPVs for AJ bout.

I'm not saying Breazale has a chance but given Wilder's propensity for FIGHTING DOWN to the level of his competition Wilder would find a way to make it an exciting fight.
