    So far he has not. Why not fight Povetkin next?

    He got England. Realised him and he's team had no idea where Russia was on a map, got scared and confused and went home

    Bottom line is the wbc will protect glassy jaw until the end of time

    The funniest thing is he's rants about unifying the division lmfao he has been saying it for 3 years and continues to fight disabled lads

    No. They will continue to talk big names and proceed to fight pastry chefs

    Nah. He will make several more title defences against cab drivers and then cashout against Joshua. So you need to wait about 2-3 years before he fights top 10 opponet.

    First one he faces will KO him and he knows it, so unless the cash out is worth it he'll continue with B and C class.

    He is the PBC's hail Mary.
    It's not Wilder's fault. Well he could go against the grain, but he's got an advisor for reasons.
    He's being carefully maneuvered for sure. He's probably beatable, but no way an easy match-up for the top guys.
    I'd say he'll be in a mega fight next year. He does have a chance against them all!

    Shannon Briggs would be a good start for him.

    He already has, but you fail to recognize Stiverne for unknown reasons.

    Yeah, when they cash out on him and he gets defeated.

    Not if he can help it. He is going to fight the lowest risk fighter he is allowed to fight.

    As long as they don't take Meldonium he will fight them.

    Was Stiverene a top 5 Ring Magazine or Fightnews ranked heavyweight when he fought Wilder? I think not. More like 6-10th.

    Besides Stiverene hardly put forth much effort vs Wilder.

    Stiverne wasn't a bad win, let's give Wilder credit for that much.

    But Bermane is taking on Povetkin next, and I fully expect Sasha to put a whoopin on Stiverne. There's a reason why Wilder is dodging Mega Mind. ;)

    Stiverne was ranked 6th by Ring at the end of 2015.
