How long will Deontay Wilder avoid the top heavyweights?

[Freedom]

Will Deontay Wilder ever fight someone like Ortiz, Fury, Povetkin, or Joshua?

Or will he continue to take "safe" fights, choosing journeyman opponents like Molina and DuHaupas, or fringe contenders like Szpilka who are not in the top ten?

Wilder is age 30 now.

There's always 1 guy who refuses to fight the best. For a long time it was the WBA title holders post lennox Lewis: Evander Holyfield, John Ruiz, Roy Jones Jr., John Ruiz, James Toney (didn't get to keep the belt), John Ruiz/Nicolai Valuev, Ruslan Chagaev (had belt stolen from him), Nicolai Valuev, and then FINALLY David Haye won it and decided to fight Wladimir after Wladimir had already just thrashed Ruslan Chagaev who was the rightful owner of the belt.

But yeah the WBC belt has fallen into the same circumstance post Vitali. Bermane Stiverne, Deontay Wilder. It's early in Wilder's reign but Molina, Duhaupas, and Szpilka don't really inspire much respect for a guy holding a belt.

Watch Szpilka upset him lol

I like wilder and he's exciting but this should be the last soft title defense.

I actually think spilka is a decent fight for him and a definite step up. If he wins though, he needs to fight the best available opponent next.

It's embarrassing really. This self styled "Booooooooomb Squad!!" And he's not even trying to fight anyone decent. Still if you look at champions in all the divisions, he's not doing anything out of the ordinary. They all do it.

The question is can the real King Kong withstand the BOMB SQUAD!?

Will the bombs detonate or just bounce off his chest as he scales the Empire State Building?

First off, Joshua is NOT a top heavyweight. He is a top prospect. Joshua is no better or worse than the Parker's, Tepper's, Mansour's and Martin's of this world. In fact, to me, he has trouble with Parker, gets chinned by Tepper and Mansour, and will have a dog fight with Martin to the bitter end. Shoots, put him in with Derek Bryant.... that oughta be nice. Or even a Gerald Washington. These guys in no way, shape or form are any challenge to the Ortiz's, Wlad's, Fury's and Povetkin's of this world.

With that being said, most likely Wilder takes the winner of the Glazkov/Martin IBF title fight. Not exactly top flight guys, but both would certainly be better than the guys he has faced in his title run.

[Master]

As long as he is allowed too.

Povetkin gives him a good fight, Ortiz beats his ass and AJ will wipe him away.

Fury would beat him too.

Says the man who was adamant Quillin was better then Golovkin.

Beating Whyte puts AJ above prospect level. US heavies are very poor. I doubt any bar Wilder would beat Whyte.

I was being tongue in cheek with Quillin. In fact, when he ducked Korobov, I said he was Shiite for it. But, Joshua is no top contender yet and Whyte is just another Brit hype-job, fluffed up to make Joshua seem higher than where he really is.

Not saying Joshua can't be there, but he is not a world beater yet. Shit, I feel Povetkin, Pulev, Ortiz, and even a Jennings beats him up really bad. The kinda beat down that makes you wonder why his promoter set him up the way David Price got set up when he faced Thompson.

[ykdadamaja]

Ask yourself: Who did Dillian Whyte fight before Joshua? NO ONE! So why was this a "big" fight? Because of some old, grainy amateur fight video with Joshua getting knocked on his ass in some back-room - looked smoky- British pub that passed for an amateur fight venue for the time. That and Whyte seemingly likes to talk Shiite, which made for as entertaining a promo as Fury gives.

[Silkeyjoe]

Who has Wilder beat? Stiverne? Who has he beat? Arreola? Sure theyre shit so what makes Wilder any use? Surely its by judging how he performed in his fights. It doesnt take a genius to see Joshua will likely be top class. Just like it didnt take a genius to see Golovkin is class. Joshua might lose to Fury, Wilder or even Haye, but hes a strong fav over every fighter that isnt at world level.
