Wilder is waiting to get big cashout fight. I doubt he fights Parker, because thats not the biggest cash fight for him. He wants to cashout against Fury, Klitschko or AJ. That's why he also avoided Povetkin. Too much risk and little reward compared what AJ or Fury fight would make.
Some people say AJ is great for the HW division but is he??? The fact that there is so much hype and cash surrounding him, people are taking a fight against him as a redundancy package. If Wilder takes this and covers up waiting for a punch to sit down and be counted out....I'll stop watching boxing.
Wilder would be shaking like a leaf on a tree at the prospect of fighting Povetkin in Russia. I don't think he comes home with his belt if he does. Should get a decent payday though.
