Outside of AJ there are plenty of c-rate journeymen to make that happen for him. Coming up on his 40th fight and his best opponent to date....a 40+ year old Cuban who has never had a big win.Comment

I don't know
Even if everything lines up perfect, you're looking at Luis Ortiz for #40, the full heavyweight unification fight with Joshua for #41, a rematch with Joshua for #42, a mandatory defense against Povetkin (purse bid likely takes that fight to Russia) for #43, the owed WBA mandatory defense against that Oquendo fight winner for #44, an IBF mandatory likely against Jarell Miller for #45, the WBC mandatory against TBD for #46, and potential fights against Fury/Haye, Daniel Dubois/Joe Joyce, Tony Yoka, the WBSS cruiserweight winner, and likely some fighters that we haven't even heard of yet in the way from #47-#50.
Assuming no injuries, you're basically looking at 4 years of work to get through 11 heavyweight fights without a blemish.
Not impossible, but to call it a forgone conclusion is a mistakeComment

I bet against him & lost just like i bet against Stiverne both times against Arreola.Comment

I dislike Wilder as much as most of you do, but it's easy for me to see that Wilder's athleticism, range, movement, and power are going to give Joshua fits if they do eventually fight. Joshua went life and death against old man Klitschko, who mostly relies on a basic 1-2 combo. He also looked lethargic in his last fight against the slow Carlos Takam. Joshua seems to have a better amateur pedigree, but he has shown poor head-movement and questionable stamina. He's more stationary than his fans want to acknowledge. It's not hard to envision Wilder punching right through Joshua's guard, knocking him out early.
Acknowledging his dislike for a fighter BUT willing to acknowledge said fighters qualities!!!!
You are not supposed to be this objective and rational. You might get run out of these parts!!Comment

With Wilder's rep as being a guy not fighting the best opposition thats not something he should be talking about cuz the jokes write themselves.
And idk that he'll get there any damn way honestly. I still say he can get beat by a lot of random cats. I don't see the unbeatability of any of the three title holders matter of fact & obviously one is gonna get knocked of soon (cough Parker cough).Comment

The 'Bronze-Bomber' currently stands above : George Foreman, Evander Holyfield, Chris Byrd, Jess Willard, James J. Corbett, John L. Sullivan, and Jack Dempsey for most consecutive title defenses ( 6 ) for a HW champion.
Deontay is currently tied with Rocky Marciano in title defense ( 6 ) so thats another Legend Deontay is set to surpass in a few weeks. I'm happy to say that after Wilder transcends that hater Mike Tyson -- who has 9 title consecutive title defenses, we have to break the present GOAT Muhammad Ali's record of ten consecutive title defense.
By the time Deontay reaches 50-0 : Vitali Klitschko, Joe Frazier, and Lennox Lewis will also fall behind Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder.
Deontay is on the verge of greatness, like it or not -- what a JOY it is to be in the 'Bronze-Era'. I'm so sad for a lot of you that are missing out on what this man is doing.
#40-0 baby! BOMBSQUAD!!!Comment
