Pulev vs Breazeale for a shot at Joshua looks like

[Randall Cunning]

I keep seeing this Michael Benson guy getting posted. Is he legitimate?

He collects all legit info from other sources, some people have issues with the way he does things. Its handy, not something Id ever get worked up about.

Two top 10 guys going at it, I like it.

Too many guys just bide their time until they get picked in the sweepstakes(also see the middleweight division) instead of forcing their way up.

[Randall Cunning]

Agree 100%. Pulev is fine in an eliminator. And I love watching Breazeale fights, but he shouldn't be in no eliminator in general if not specifically cuz he got slaughtered vs Joshua.

And I was low key hoping for Wilder vs Breazeale if Wilder vs Joshua didn't get made next. I think that would be a crazy fun fight.

Whyte/Wilder
Breazeale/Whyte
Wilder/Breazeale

Who would have called Breazeale/Pulev. Out of leftfield. Who does Wilder fight now

[Tom Cruise]

Hopefully Pulev wins.

Not a fight i want over the big one obviously. But i dont want anything ****ing up the 4 belts in thr hands of one man

[Eff Pandas]

I want Whyte-Wilder before Breazeale-Wilder.

I think Wilder vs Breazeale is a more fun fight.

And I got no dog in the fight of what happens first beyond which fight would be more fun to watch.

Whyte/Wilder
Breazeale/Whyte
Wilder/Breazeale

Who would have called Breazeale/Pulev. Out of leftfield. Who does Wilder fight now

My guess would be Povetkin (although iirc he's #1 for one of Joshua's belts right now & thats more money for him), Whyte (#1 contender, but not yet mandated) or Adam Kownacki (top PBC guy ranked that Wilder hasn't beaten with Breazeale out of the mix).

And I'd give Bellew a possibility if he beats Haye again. I don't think he does, but who knows.

Its also worth mentioning I don't think it'd be crazy if Breazeale turned down the Pulev fight if Wilder gave him a title shot next. So THAT could happen to I'd be willing to bet.

I agree, after the Pulev/Joshua stuff hes taking a chance with old Pulev. Got to think if the Joshua/Wilder negotiations breakdown hes the fight Wilder will want. So hes banking on Joshua/Wilder falling apart in 2 weeks, til the purse bid is called.

Where does Miller fit into all this? Hes next up in the rankings after Pulev. Whats wrong with Whyte/Breazeale and Pulev/Miller, sticking to their rankings

Unless all this bickering over the last few weeks on here has been for nothing, and its common knowledge behind the scenes that Joshua/Miller and Wilder/Whyte are definitely happening.

LOL idk. I think he might just be odd man out at the moment.

Can't imagine that'll be a long term issue for him doe & my guess is as long as he keeps winning he'll be a random defense for Joshua sooner or later cuz of the Hearn affiliation.

Povetkin is #1 for Both AJ and Parker, WBO and WBA belts.

Okay. Damn yea I guess that probably makes it even less likely he'll eff with Wilder. That Joshua money is coming in for Povetkin.

Do you happen to know if any mandatory situation has been planned or is in the pipeline?
