Takam is way too dangerous. It really depends on his asking price to throw the fight. Deontay could probably fight way worse guys for similar amounts of coin that they wouldn't even need to payoff.
I remember him saying "Jennings is next". Now that Wlad - Jennings fight is off, Wilder vs Jennings is a possibility.
Ok, maybe not next. Takam is coming off a loss, he needs to take an easy fight imo. That was a tough fight against Povetkin.
IB, I disagree with you based on the fact that Takam isn't a puncher at all. He needed 8 rounds to stop old glass jawed Grant, and 11 rounds to stop old Botha (50 y.o. Holyfield KO'd better version of Botha in 8 rounds). He couldn't hurt Gregory Toney. Takam has good KO%, but his power is overrated, he stopped D level fighters or 40+ y.o. veterans.
