    Shelley Finkel and Bob Arum have lined up two opponents for both Wilder and Fury to both fight before they fight each other next year (2020). Wilder will get Ortiz (old guy he already stopped and looked crap since) and Kownacki a walking pinata. Fury has Schwarz (who?) and another random bum.

    Joshua is at least 4 fights away from facing the winner and in the mean time has to find opponents. Eddie Hearn has signed Whyte, Hrgovic and Usyk who are all incredibly credible opponents.. The thing is, does he risk Joshua vs Usyk? Both Usyk and Hrgovic can possibly beat Joshua. I think Joshua vs Whyte in Wembley next is the obvious fight (If Whyte beats Rivas).

    Joshua isn’t wilder, of course he’ll risk fighting Usyk.

    Wilder wont lose to Ortiz or Kownacki and Fury wont lose to Schwarz or random bum.

    Joshua only guy in danger of losing.

    He's not really. He has Whyte, Pulev, Usyk and Rivas (if he beats Whyte)

    Usyk is going to be Joshuas mandatory, its not up to Hearn who WOULD like that fight bc its a money generator and wont have to worry about Joshua getting hit with a huge punch which worries him the most.

    Wilder is the most likely to lose even if Joshua is fighting much better opposition. Ortiz while predictable fight doesn't mean Wilder doesn't run into another left hand and maybe the bell doesn't ring next time ? Or a given had he got hit by Breazeale just bc the fight ended in 1 round doesn't make Wilder ANY less susceptible to losing.

    Oh yeah, a really bad position for AJ. He will have to go back to the UK and fight Pulev (#8 in the world), Whyte (#5) or Usyk (unified cruiserweight champ) in front of a packed soccer stadium hahahahaha. Yeah, that sounds like he's in a rough spot. Oh, and it will be on PPV in the UK too and will do over a million buys. You Wilder fans are idiotic

    Hearn has to stall AJ,

    This is very serious All Eyes on AJ because Americans know Ruiz is a hope Job. If you thought Stiverne II & Breazeale's were one sided can you imagine Wilder-Ruiz?? Lol.

    Not quite. Usyk and Whyte are huge fights.

    How is he in a bad position?

    The longer they take to make the fight, the better AJs chances of winning are anyways.

    He can fight Pulev, a Whyte rematch, and then maybe have a big fight in its own right against Usyk if Usyk has built some heavyweight momentum by then.

    Ruiz is significantly better than Breaz and better than the Stiverne from the second fight.

    The only people who would lose out are Fury and Wilder if AJ lost.

    AJ Will make more than both fury and wilder for all of those fights including them fighting each other. Without AJ neither of those guys ever breaks a $15m payday.

    AJ makes double that fit all of those fights you mentioned. He will be just fine, if anyone beats him there will be money in the rematch.

    In the meantime he has the belts and will always be viewed as the champion until someone steps up and proves otherwise

    DB has the better resume though.

    DB
    1. Izu
    2. Mansour
    3. Molina

    Ruiz
    1. Tor Hammer
    2. Dimitrenko
    3. Kingpin Blue Johnson

    Ruizs performance against Parker in a controversial MD loss is better than anything DBs done.

    Not to mention resumes at this stage in their careers isnt indicitive of who is better due to Ruiz not having as many big fight as DBs had yet.

    Ruiz is clearly better and would beat DB.

    Too many in between fights for all mentioned above. What a shame, the potential for any of these 3 to lose is there. Fury & his lack of discipline. AJ taking the bigger risks fights & Wilder having only a plan (A) Knock his foe out.

    Any of these 3 can lose to a lesser foe. It's happened before.
