Kownaki v Wilder could be good. Top 5- 10 guy in Wilder v a top 10-15 in Kownaki. Breazele is not up to it and Whyte would be tough for Wilder. Top 4 heavyweight would be tough for Wilder.
Easy work for Wilder if this fight gets made. I thought Martin did enough to at least get a draw against Kownacki who gassed badly in that fight and I feel that Wilder gets a late stoppage here.
Unlike a lot of people in the General forum I don’t rate AK at all. To me he’s the ultimate plodder with above average power. Wilder will KO him from range.
The next logical fight for Wilder is Whyte. Kownacki is probably the best after that Breazeale has proven to be pretty weak mentally and was on the verge of being stopped by Ugonuh.
I don't think Brezeale is anything great, but if he was on the verge of being stopped against Ugonoh, and turned it around and ended up getting the stoppage himself, I don't think that shows mental weakness. Quite the opposite actually.
Brezeales problem is he has 0 defence. Doesn't move his head or his arms that well to block shots coming in He's big and has some durability but that's about it. I don't AK going that far he reminds me of a lesser version of someone like Arreloa has a bit of a dig but not much else. Wilder despite criticism has shown he's got a heart and can fight (even if its ugly) and has a nuclear right hand. I'd expect him to get rid of AK maybe having to eat some shots a be under pressure for spells but if he can do that against Ortiz and survive he should be able to do it here. AK has been brought along reasonably nicely but it should be Wilder Fury 2.
I really like Kownacki, he’s better than Miller imo. He’s actually a pretty good boxer fundamentally but he can be reckless and show a wild disregard for an opponents power. He doesn’t have to take them shots. I think he’d put it on Wilder, give him absolute hell before getting bingo’d out of nowhere.
Kownacki is by far weakest choice out of him, Whyte and Breazeale and thats why Wilder is most likely to choose as his next opponent. Wilder's chubby chasing continues. To think people gave AJ stick for fighting Miller when Kownacki is just a much slower and even easier to hit than Miller. Went life and death with Charles Martin.
I’m not having he’s better than Miller. He was very lucky against Prince Charles. I couldn’t imagine Miller dropping a round or having an ounce of trouble against him.
