    Won't happen for a number of reasons.

    Firstly lack of money. Look at what Wilder pays his opponents, Stiverne and Ortiz only got $500K each and they are the highest paid of Wilder's opponents. Washington got $250K, Arreola $150K, Molina $250K, Duhaupas $140K. You really think Parker, who just made more money in one fight that Wilder has his entire career will accept peanuts for a shot at the belt when he'd make more fighting the winner of Chagaev/Oquendo or finally fight Browne in a down under grudge match?

    Secondly most fighters look to rebuild after a loss, Parker will likely take a few months off regroup and take an easier fight back to build confidence, he's still only 26, no need to rush him back.

    Thirdly Wilder could easily lose. He was out boxed by the smaller, slower, older Ortiz, out boxed by the slower C level Washington too. Against the much faster and younger Parker do we really think he can out box him? But of course Wilder always has his power right, well Parker seems to be pretty hard to hit cleanly these days and seems to have an iron chin, what if he can't KO him and is being out boxed again? Wilder and his handlers won't take the risk unless Parker signs with Haymon.

    When Wilder beat Joshua/Pulev/Povetkin, than i will respect him.I'm sure these are very good boxers and never will sell them for money.Miller and Kownacki also not bad, but not sure for "selling them for money".Maybe they wouldn't because they're are young and have enough time, not like Ortiz, who was pressed by the time and already participate in fixed matches(at least vs Dave Allen).
    I don't believe we will see Wilder against even one of these till the end of his career.

    Bingo. That glass jawed fraud would get his fragile mandible brutally exposed, and his handlers know it.

    Btw, Whyte isn't from top 5 class, but he is better than Washington and Szpilka(these 2 caused troubles to Wilder).And i believe Whyte also wouldn't take money to "get down beautifully".I realize Wilder against the best in the division isn't realistic, but at least against Whyte it would be interesting.Agaisnt Breazeale - boring.Breazeale wasn't better even than Fred Kassi(reality, not what judges scored).
