    Absolutely. Breazeale is definitely a contender for sure.

    I wouldn't like it considering the options available

    Not cool with me Breazeale isn’t even a ring magazine top 10 heavy and is very limited.

    Top guys should be fighting each other, so no.

    It would be Joshua-Fury, Wilder-Fury II or Joshua-Wilder. Anything else is b/s.

    As a Wilder 'supporter'.... no... if its not AJ or Fury, than its a big disappointment imo.

    If he doesnt face AJ, Fury or Povetkin next then its acceptable yes.

    But given the fact the AJ fight isnt happening because he doesnt want to travel, its really on him that it isnt happening. He could fight 7 Brezeale's for the money he is getting from an AJ fight, so lets not pretend he is getting short changed here.

    Here's the thing.

    Wilder Vs Fury is the fight to make right now. A draw was not a satisfying ending for anyone.

    Either of those Vs Joshua would be a great fight even if I prefer the first choice.

    Is Wilder Vs Brezeale as good as those fights, of course it isn't. But it is still a good fight on its own merits. Brezeale is a good fighter and borderline top ten. He has legit power and gave a good showing against AJ.

    It isn't the fight I want. But is a fight I'd happily watch.

    I'd rather see Wilder challenging Joshua, but would be ok with him facing his (decent) mandatory for once, as that makes place for a stronger one.
    My favorite options;
    1.Joshua
    2. Fury rematch
    3. Povetkin
    4. Whyte
    5. Breazeale (mandatory)

    really?

    Breazeale has already had a title shot. Whyte has not

    Also who has Breazeale beaten as good as undefeated former world champion Browne or Parker to be above Whyte?
    Whyte beat those fighter's one after the other and then Chisora coming off a decent win.

    I rate Whytes last 4 fight results over Breazeales

    Don't rate Breazeale and he's tailor made for Wilder.

    How come you slipped the Russian in there?Have you heard something? Id love to see Wilder Povetkin, it should of already happened by now. I know all that happened when they were meant to fight but Povetkin has been legally available ever since then so there is no reason why Wilder couldnt of sorted that fight. But ever since the time is should of happened there hasnt been any talk of it getting made since.

    Whyte's resume craps all over Breazeale's even if you fancy big Dom to beat him head to head.

    I consider there to be a clear top 5 in the HW division: AJ, Wilder, Ortiz, Fury and Povetkin. So I think if it cannot be either AJ or Fury then it must be Povetkin. Wilder also owes Povetkin a fight after the last fight falling through due to bogus failed test results.

    Its a fight I would really like to see- it would be a very entertaining fight.

    Unless the WBC is forcing this fight go after Fury or Joshua in the UK. Its not a terrible fight but with two legacy and money making fights on the table it would make no sense to fight big tiddies instead.

    It’s decent as an “off” defense after two hard fights, but obviously not one of the best available.
