    Should Joshua follow the Wilder method of progression!?

    I. E fight tailor made bums for the next five years?

    He could step up In the summer of 2018 against john mcdermott, followed by an impressive bout against a 3 year retired ruslan chagaev

    Hearn said he's going to get him out another 3 times this year if possible so that's 100% his intentions, atelast for now.

      He should follow the Golovkin route and wait till he is 30 to step up.

        What is his age? I would likely slow roll him though because why rush him.

          He's 23 and despite winning the Gold Medal he doesn't have too much of an Amateur pedigree.

            Wilder pussed out on a fury fight. Why puss out on a guy who was almost ko'd by a cruiser weight? Especially if you're supposed to be some bad azz KO artist. Wilder= another American heavyweight hype job.

              5 year plan then for sure, 28 for a heavy is nothing plus he is a big boy those attributes don't really change and it takes a lot of work to learn to really fight tall.

                He and Wilder had similar length amateur careers and both turned pro around the same age

                  You got it wrong, Fury never offered him a fight. Wilder was going to fight Chisora but got a charge and Chisora isn't coming to the US.
