...to test his skills ?
Let's be frank, neither Szpilka nor Washington were good measures; paradoxially, Martin was a better one, since Kownacki oddly was unable to KO him. Kownacki is still the record holder for the HW number of punches thrown in a round (something around 140-150 IIRC), has a good power and no glass chin.
Although I think he is capable to beat Wilder (rather not Joshua and certainly not Fury as for now) I would like to test him first with subelite HW fighters. We also know he won't fight Miller (his dear friend). I would put him against Ortiz or Povetkin. Pulev, Whyte or Breazeale seems to be too weak for him.
There's bunch of good fights for him... Some good fights aren't realistic - like Breazeale, who sits on his mandatory position, or Rivas who probably has some kind of a deal with Top Rank, Pulev the same, Parker who has better opportunities in U.K... Kuzmin right now will fight on DAZN...
Andy Ruiz Jr. would be fun, but probably PBC will try to get him some kind of tune-up first since He's been out of the ring for a while.
Joe Joyce match-up would be great... but I think PBC might prefer to keep them separated for now.
Maybe Trevor Bryan will finally fight somebody? I think He's pretty good, actually - but Don King is obvious roadblock.
Luis Ortiz is easy answer. It would be great fight of top contenders. I think it's quite realistic, with Ortiz unlikely to get title shot any time soon.
He would beat Wilder since he knocked Washington out faster?
When he signs to fight Wilder, I will give you 5-1 odds.
Kow is a hype job.
No, I guess he is able to beat Wilder because Wilder's defense against heavy tanks who continuously press forward is simply not good. Moreover, Wilders power jabs would rather not scratch Kownacki, at least in few first rounds (and to this time Wilder might be KOed).
