    True, but Deontay handlers are likely afraid of him since he's not old and has never been stopped.

    Wilder's management will likely choose the old, shot former light heavyweight Adamek (Wilder has fought several old, faded middleweights and light heavyweights in the past such as Dan Sheehan, Damon McCreary and Marlon Hayes), or someone else who he sees as no risk.

    Yes, Chisora probably is faded enough by now to be considered as a potential Wilder opponent.

    What difference does it make? The opponent will be mercilessly trashed by the legion of Wilder haters and AJ fanboys regardless.

    Hard to say, if that homo hearns would give him the chance I'm sure he would want to fight Anthony, if not he'll probably end up fighting whyte since he is the mandatory.

    Chisora has a good check jab on him still.

    He will fight Joshua if he can get him out from under Hearn's nuts.

    Come to think of it, you're right. So they probably will consider him to still be too much of a risk.

    It is obvious that he wants to fight Joshua next but Joshua does not want that fight. Or maybe it is better to say that Hearn does not want it.

    Whyte is Wilder's mandatory. Wilder has already refused to fight Whyte for $4,000,000, now Wilder will never come near Whyte, Whyte is not 50 years old.........for one thing.................

    If Parker loses, I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Wilder, should the Joshua fight not happen next. Given Parker's age, he'll be fighting Wilder at some point, regardless, of that I'm sure.

    Unlikely given that Parker would have to honour the rematch clause if he wins on Saturday
