    Nah, he's going to rematch Charlie. He couldn't KO the Deficient White Hope last time, but he will KO him this time just like the other mouthy monster known as The Buffet King.

    Its Ortiz next but after that who knows who he is going for, because there are not many now in the top 15 of the WBC that he hasnt already fought or doesnt want to fight.

    Oscar Rivas and Agit Kabayel look the most likely candidates from the top 15.

    He AVOIDS Andy Ruiz Jr and Kownacki like the plague. I would make them both favourites if they signed to fight the Donkey.

    Im sure Wilders 2018 wishlist is ORTIZ, JOSHUA, PARKER.

    However his managment want Breazeale, a swimming pool, Tom Schwarz.

    Wilder want's to chase Joshua and Fury so he will try to build up the fights and go for the brit's in 2018

    Chisora in April (as a late replacement for Ortiz)
    Haye/Bellew 2 loser in July
    Haye/Bellew 2 winner in November

    I'll be optimistic and says he fights Ortiz next. If he actually wins then maybe his handlers will have some faith in him, it's no surprise that he is finally stepping up against another Haymon fighter so if he loses Haymon still has the belt. If Wilder loses he has a rematch with Ortiz if is was remotely competitive.

    If Wilder beats Ortiz first time around then maybe his handlers will have the faith to risk the Joshua fight asking for a more realistic 60/40. If they still don't have faith in Wilder then they keep to the 50/50 split demand and duck the fight in doing so. They then fight Breazeale for peanuts while Joshua makes millions for possible fights with Povetkin or the Bellew/Haye winner.

    Deonkey "Bambi legs" Windmillers next opponent will be whoever is daft enough to take a 250k purse and 3-4 week training camp which is usually par for the course with the majority of his 'opponents'. And let's not forget that the bookies odds need to be something like 100-1 on for Windmiller to give the impression that his 'opponent' has a chance at the win........

    Another thing that might drive Wilder to fight Ortiz next is the Parker vs Joshua fight. The first unification bout in seven years will have Wilder thinkin 'I gotta have a big fight too' and we all know the worlds big name opponents for him are Ortiz, Povetkin and Tyson Fury.

    Other Wilder match ups won't be on the same level IMO but a good scrap could make up for all that. Match ups such as Wilder vs; Haye, Ruiz, Breazeale and Whyte would have to be the next best choices if he can't get Ortiz, Povetkin and Tyson Fury.

    Haymon like all the other boxing managers know what they have in their champion, where they are and what they stand to lose. This is why Hearn negotiates the way he does and why you make a solid point about Haymon pitting his fighters against each other. Right now Hearn looks like a snake but he's only doing his job, Haymon is the same but only he's low-key in the grass.
