Well he's not a top 10 guy so it's very likely should Wilder get by Breazeale. Even his warped fan base has got to be asking themselves do they really want him to hold on to that title .
Yeah, I basically agree with you. Wilder hurt his hand in that Arreola fight and that prevented him from finishing Chris early (for once not really Deontay's fault). Kownacki and Arreola are pretty similar (brawlers) but with Chris being older and a bit shot - I could see Kownacki getting Chris out of there much quicker than DW did. Being able to stop Arreola faster than Wilder did is a good way for Haymon/Di Bellla to build hype around Adam without too much risk. And it's not as if they actually care about the hit that DW's reputation might take from that because, based on past actions (e.g. opponent selections) they've never really worried about that at all.
