    Look Shoulder be real Wilder aint got long in this. He will be the next Jeff Lacy.

    So send on that corn-fed boy, so Jamaican can test him.
    But why isn't he fighting Joshua next?

      That maybe next. Wilder better hope it is next. I think his time is limited. We don't know for sure. I am just saying if not Joshua or Miller, it better not be Breazeale ahead of Whyte.

        If Joshua isn't next (and there is absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be), Wilder isn't fighting anyone from Hearn's stable and rightfully so. No need to put money in his pocket when he's trying to d*ck you around.

          It's like that. Then keep that corn-fed no drawing boy fight other non-drawers.

            Not sure what this means, but like I said, there is no reason why Joshua-Wilder shouldn't occur if Joshua gets by Wilder. And if Hearn doesn't want to do it, Wilder won't be lining his pockets against other Hearn fighters. And rightfully so. We want Joshua-Wilder next. Unless you're so much of a d*ckriding fan (not referring specifically to you) that you already looking past it not happening. Fans need to beat the drums for it. Real ones, anyway.

                  Best cards so far this year:

                  1) ESPN
                  2) HBO
                  3) Showtime

                  People love Showtime for whatever reason but their cards and their production are not very good.

                    I want the Wilder-Joshua fight first but if not. Why not Whyte? You want that worthless Breazeale fight instead? Breazeale aint drawing a soul. HBO highlighted the Whyte-Browne fight. It's only right that the he fight the American next. What has Breazeale been doing to keep interest in him.

                      Agreed. And they're getting way too much credit for Superfly. The execs at Telemundo and Telefutura are scratching their heads since they were doing various forms of the Superfly concept years ago, back when guys like Chocolatito and Estrada fought regularly there.

                      Other than Superfly, damn everything else on HBO has been trash or on PPV. Even their production has fallen off. Announcing team too. Time for Peter Nelson to get rid of his "we only deal with promoters" policy and apply some new-age thinking to an aged, dying product.
