    Won't happen too many bigger fights for AJ.

    Wont happen. Wilder will go nowhere near AJ. Wilder will continue to fight B-C level fighters in contrived "World Title" fights milking the US market and never fighting a real top level opponent. Wilder would have struggled hugely with either the Chisora or the Whyte from tonight.

    If Wilder's right hand is still good I got Wilder by Knockout.

    Well Wilder only a few week ago said he wants a few tune ups before going after the winner of Wlad v AJ,I found this odd as he never mentioned the winner of Povetkin v Stiverne only now he's actually said he'll go for Povetkin lol

    If Wilder fights any top fighters he loses badly.

    a few tune ups first? I sure hope that isn't true.

    Well if AJ beats Wlad and does so convincingly then I can't see Hearn protecting AJ anymore, he'll be fully confident that AJ can unify and Wilder would be an easy way to try and break the US market.

    But the question is does Wilder want it? He's been happy to protect his title and defend against sub par opposition. He turned down $10 million originally to face Povetkin so even a big purse can't entice him to take a risk and while Wilder talks like a big dog in reality his actions suggests he'll happily back track on the boasts and call outs.
