The HW division was set up so beautifully after last night. AJ even has the states buzzing for HWs again after last night. Now Wilder NEEDS Parker in the summer. If he has to fight Stiverne again it will set everything back 6 months. Argh the WBC really screwed the pooch on this. Ortiz would have given Wilder that buzz even. Wilder needs Parker now because that the only way to avoid the Stiverne rematch, by unification. If he can get Parker in Vegas or NY after what AJ did the buzz will build for an undisputed champ. AJ would probably come over for it. Makes sense for Wilder and Parker, Parker gets US exposure he needs. Only 1 problem now. Tony Bellew. Bellew wants 1 or 2 more fights and a HW title shot. He stated he won't fight AJ. That leaves Parker and Wilder. He is a low risk big payday fight in the UK for both. Plus gets tremendous exposure in the lucrative UK market. Wilder was teasing it this weekend but said Bellew has nothing he wants. His hands are tied anyway, can't take it without losing his belt and the biggest bargaining chip he has with AJ. Parker on the other hand is about the same size as Bellew and really wants to break into the UK market. I think Parker and Wilder both KO Bellew easily wasting valuable time. If either take the Bellew fight we won't see a unified champ anytime soon. I am also more confident then ever Wilder takes AJ out after last night. AJ's added weight made him look stiff as hell. If AJ gets that tired vs Wilder, Wilder will finish the job. Say what you will about DW but when he smells blood he won't let you off the hook. If he fight AJ like Stiverne and doesn't let him inside him, I don't think AJ has a chance.
