    When he loses he'll be taking some time off to do some soul searching.

    Hearn can't force him to fight. I hate that the metaphor is used so often, but that is literally slavery.

    A fight with Wilder would make sense and attract huge interest...

    Big if he beats Usyk (I think AJ will lose). If is successful then they must at least attempt to make Fury fight (maybe even do so if he loses). If they unable to make it the Fury fight AJ would have two decent mandatory opponents in Joyce and likely to be Hrgovic if he beats Zhang as expected. Hearn said AJ plans to fight in December win or loss against Usyk.

    If AJ losses

    Priority should attempt to make Fury fight.

    We all know Wilder will never fight AJ as proven with previous offers.

    Ortiz is irrelevant and will be finished when Ruiz beats him.

    Whyte isn't a valid option for me unless Whyte picks up a decent win before December.

    If Usyk fights one of his mandatories between Hrgovic and Joyce then whoever Usyk doesn't fight of the two is a good option.

    Bakole and Sanchez are lesser known names but two guys I rate who would make for good opponents for AJ.

    I think Ortiz will do better v Ruiz than AJ did in their first clash and land more shots than AJ did in his rematch v Ruiz.

    If Wilder is No.1 contender why would he fight the winner of Ruiz v Ortiz?

    Because fury will sit on the title as long as possible so gives the chance for Pbc to make another in house fight.

    If he gets taken apart, he won't fight again this year if ever. What would be the point in a low level opposition fight?
