It will be funny seeing the same people that derided Wilder's competition start defending Joshua's. Don't get me wrong, Joshua looks like he could dominate this division for a decade, but Wilder got **** for Molina, Duhaupas, and Szpilka. Let's see if the same standards are applied to Joshua.
I think Breazeale is the pick. Molina had been KTFO 3 times. Twice in the first round. Breazeale is more of an unknown still, but I liked how he kept trying to win vs Mansour. You can easily say he won via a fluke, but he still showed heart & resilience so a W over Breazeale would feel bigger than KOing Molina for a 4th time in his career.

A couple of weeks ago I would have said that Wilder being a pro for 4 more years should count for something. However, now the Joshua is a supposed to be a champion I'd like him to fight better quality competition than Molina and Duhaupas. I'll be willing to give him a pass on those guys only if he's guaranteed to fight Fury soon. In the same way as a Ward-Kovalev deal.
Hope it's not Molina. He did nothing to earn the shot v Wilder and can't believe he'd get another shot based on beating a 39-year-old blown up cruiserweight like Adamek, who hasn't beaten a live opponent for a while. Breazeale is there for the taking, a big tub o' lard for Joshua to KO impressively
