How do we go about making the 'Mega Fights' we all want to see in the HW division?

    So...Joshua, Parker and Wilder.....How do we get Wilder's and Parker's profiles to the stage where Joshua vs Parker/Wilder becomes a mega fight similar to Joshua vs Wlad?

    I don't think it's possible to have a 'Mega Fight' the size of Joshua vs Tyson Fury, unless of course Fury completely changes his life around. So how do we go about making the biggest fights possible.

    Despite what anyone says, right now, the UK is the place where the money and profile is for heavyweights....and both Wilder and Parker claim they want Joshua, so how do they get in a position to make the most money possible?

    Wilder vs Whyte (Winner fights AJ)
    Parker vs Haye/Bellew (Winner fights AJ)

    Then, hopefully, Fury returns to face an undisputed Joshua for the biggest heavyweight fight since the Ali days.

    Imagine that....

    The top guys need to start getting in the ring with each other;

    Anthony Joshua
    Joseph Parker
    Deontay Wilder
    Lucas Browne
    Kubrat Pulev
    Tyson Fury (if he returns)
    Alexander Povetkin
    David Haye (beating Bellew dependent)
    Luis Ortiz

    Nine or so of the best in the division there, and I don't recall any of them fighting each other, which is bordering on criminal from a sporting perspective. When they have been arranged an injury issue or some drug case has prevented the fights from happening.

    What i would do is make sure the two biggest fights which are Joshua v Fury and Joshua v Wilder let both marinate.If AJ v DW gets made for febuary the excitement goes,and no other fights i look forward to bar Parker.Hearn is right to get those who dont deserve the spotlight or money like Miller,Whyte,Haye as credible opponents as the HW divison is so thin and lacks elite talent. Next thing i will do is get the US fans back on site with the Heavyweight Scene.So the US and the UK will be their two main places where the Heavyweight battles occur. So in February 2018-Wilder v Whyte,02 Arena,UK.March 2018-Joshua V Miller/Pulev-USA,April 2018-Winner of Haye/Bellew fights Parker,UK.July/August 2018,Winner of Parker/Haye/Bellew v Joshua US if Parker,UK if Haye.August 2018-Wilder v Ortiz/Lucas Browne/Pulev,US.Then it leads to Wilder/Joshua or Parker/Wilder.If Tyson Fury returns that would take piority,but i havent included him.
