WBC likely have an interim champ since Vitali out. Think Wilder will get a shot?

[Hougigo]

Totally possible.
Vitali out until 2014 and WBC could use this as their chance to crown him champion.
Mitchell/Arreola in place for the #2 spot.... Stiverne being put on hold and I doubt they'll want to keep him on hold for a year.
So what're the chances that the WBC will try to match this up to get an American HW champ?
Very difficult fight for Wilder

[M.I Truth ?]

Stiverne should get to fight someone for an interim title then. Wilder shouldn't be ranked high enough yet to qualify but I;m all for the winner of the interim belt giving him a shot.

Isnt the interim fight suppose to be between the #1 and #2 ranked contenders?

supposed to but you know boxing will follow the money.

I wrote it automatically insinuating it was going to be against Stiverne.
It'd be a very tough fight for Wilder. Stiverne is younger than his past comp and has heavy hands
He's ranked 10th right now.
Anyway, if he does fight the Mitchell/Arreola winner, that'll put him #1 on the ratings (assuming Stiverne already fought)

The path for wilder should be to go after Wlad I think. He may never be as skilled or polished but Wilder has a huge punch that he can get to you early with. Plus it only takes one. Getting to Wlad undefeated with that big right hand could make it interesting at least early. I would be interested to see what happens if he is able to touch Wlad with that big punch early.

Stiverne has already fought 2 eliminators, he's been waiting since 2011 for a shot, unfair to make him fight another.

Even if Wilder gets the winner of Arreola-Mitchell the fight will not take place before Vitali schedules his return. Nobody is fighting for that title until Vitali decides to let them.

That being said, Wilder doesn't deserve a shot yet. He hasn't fought anyone with a pulse yet and one top 20 win doesn't earn a title shot.

In case the WBC makes VItali the Emaritus champion since he'll be taking more than a year and a half off.
If Wilder does take on the Arreola/Mitchell winner, that's for the #2 spot below Stiverne
