    Im a big AJ fan but i do like Wilder, i like any fighter that entertains when they fight and Wilder entertains more than most. Clearly its looking like Wilder v AJ wont be next, hopefully later in the year. So who do you Wilder fans want next for your world champ?

    Biggest 2 options banded about for a while now have been Whyte and Breazeale. I think the Whyte fight, in the UK, makes most sense for him for a couple of legitimate reasons but he doesnt want the fight and is under no obligation to make that fight and i would struggle to call it a duck of Dillian Whyte more like making a stance that he wont be dictated to as a world champion.

    Personally i really like the idea of the Breazeale fight, Dom is big and durable and can hurt you. I think he would possibly be the best name on Wilders resume and with him being one of Joshua's victims Wilder can put in a performance that can be compared to how AJ handled the American. On top of that there is beef between the 2 and if there is beef between 2 boxers in the same division a fight has gotta be made, a fight with personal needle is my favourite kind of fight. On top of that if Wilder Joshua is coming in 2018 then surely Wilder is better off fighting people of a similar height and stature of Anthony Joshua.

    But who else could he fight that people can give him a bit of credit for? Also taking into account his last fight was 2 minutes against a punchbag it hardly counts so with that in mind its been nearly a year since he did some competitive Boxing. He needs somebody more durable than a 1 or 2 round beatdown. Its a balance act this next fight, he doesnt want to put his unification at too much risk but he needs somebody that can give him a fight.

    If Whyte isnt special,why the hell is Breazeale getting plaudits,he literally was a punch bag,did he even throw back once,at least Whyte throws back even when he's getting Jumped on.Breazeale is a punch bag,nothing special,AJ leftovers,just like whyte.But Whyte their is still reward their compared to Dominic.I would like to see Breazeale v Whyte.

    Any of Ruiz Jnr. Takam, Whyte or Breazeale. They are live bodies compared to some of his other opponents and would be good to finally guage where he is. Obviously Povetkin and Ortiz seem to be out of the picture right now.

    Bogdan Dinu. Might as well do something with him while he still has a bit of his prime left.

    I did consider Parker, it is without doubt the 2nd best fight to be made for Wilder but from all the Hearn interviews ive been listening to Joshua wants Parker next and then Wilder in the summer so ive sorta ruled Parker out.

    Maybe Parker and Wilder should fight off and the winner takes on AJ. Who ever won would have a stronger argument for a bigger split than they can argue for right now. And in the mean time Joshua can fight in America to show his face and build up a summer showdown in Vegas. Clearly thats not guna happen. Shame.

    I'm sure Wilder's shortlist for his next opponent is either Brazeale, Johnson, Nichols or Sconiers.

    It'll probably Breazeale. He was supposed to sue Wilder a few months back for their beef earlier this year. Haymon probably promised him a title shot to convince him to drop the charges.
