Will this prompt a ton of HW contender matchups?

    One good thing about last night is I think Wlad's loss might change the dynamic of HW contenders being so afraid to face each other. Contenders have just been trying to preserve their "0" for so as long as possible for many years now. They try to stick around long enough as marketable enough (because of an undefeated record ) to eventually grad a spot as a Klitsckho opponent/victim to make their money. I think they at least subconsciously didn't think they had a big chance to win, and certainly didn't think the K bros would go anywhere, giving them no real reason to test themselves too much.

    Now, with Wlad out of the way, and Fury, for all his talent, reeking of someone too undisciplined to stay champ for too long, I'm thinking contenders will race for the chance to fight him (or Wilder). They'll think they may just beat Fury or Wilder, so maybe they'll fight a top contender to either get them the mandatory or enough attention quickly to earn a shot.

    Just a theory, but I'd like to think we'll start seeing more frequent top contender vs top contender fights now.

    Kind of like when sharks sense blood in the water setting off a feeding frenzy, maybe this will start a frenzy of top competitors facing each other.
