    First the winner of Arreola vs Stiverne, a matchup that will determine a top 3 world HW for sure and the WBC king.

    Then there is the winner of Perez vs Jennings eliminator waiting as mandatory.

    Wlad has already offered Wilder a fight, but heard a not yet back.

    Pulev is managed by Sauerland and it does not seem they would like to travel for a fight.

    Haye has yet to come back to fighting shape, something doubtfull at the moment.

    You're not questioning the mention of Adamek in that list (who just lost to a somewhat limited fighter), but you do question the addition of the current #2. :patsch

    If he somehow beats the winner of Stiverne/Arreola I doubt his reign as WBC champion will not be a glorious one. He'll continue to be carefully matched with the likes of Lucas Browne, Oquendo and Glazkov who are ranked by the WBC, while they build up a unification fight with Wlad.

    Wilder is taking the WBC route.

    He'll be facing guys ranked in the WBC, if/when he wins the title.

    Does anyone think that Arreola Stiverne, Perez, Glaskov, Jennings etc are not viable opposition?

    If Wilder fights those guys with or without the title, I don't think anyone can complain about his LOC then.

    None of those guys are gonna lay down for him.

    BUT.....if he continues with the guys not trying to win, ala Scott, Thompson, Kevin Johnson etc.......then we can ***** about his being spoonfed.:-(

    I doubt he ever fights Wlad, one reason why is I think Wlad is retiring soon, and by the time WIlder gets on top (if there are no hiccups along the way) it will be 2015, and WLad will be 39 by that time

    And second is that Wlad and Wilder sparred before and Wlad absolutely clowned him, knocking him down several times. You ever notice how Deontay NEVER calls Wlad out?

    The weakest road towards a heavyweight championship coming up.

    Explain to me how Malik Scott was in an eliminator for the WBC? OK Then.

    I can't to wait till Wilder rangy straight punches neutralizes that overrated jab of Pulev.

    Lots of naive impressionable folks will :| when Pulev is destroyed with shocking ease

    The rest of the fights are all serious challenges, that Wilder has to KTFO :deal

    This.

    That's of course if Pulev isn't afraid to jab as much as he normally does. I think he's screwed either way.

    Wilder has decent footwork and controls distance extremely well.

    Yeah, Firtha had a real tough time rocking Wilder with a jab.

    So I doubt the best or second best jab in boxing will be able to get anywhere near Wilder.:huh:huh:huh


    Come one people.......Malik Scott danced around for a minute only managing to feign 3-4 times before he laid down.

    Pulev has far better footwork than Scott, and he took huge power shots from Walker and Ustinov and didnt lay down. Not saying Pulev is iron, but he aint gonna lie down for nobody.:nono
