Also Deontay may be the weaker than Fury but still get some flukey KO and then Joshua only has to beat the weaker of the 2
The only draw back I see is going the hard route builds true skill, going the easy way hurts you in the long run.
Lewis was Tyson's mandatory and was stripped for a failure to meet Lewis instead opting for Holyfield. Holyfield wasn't considered a dangerous fight or fighter anymore. He was considered washed up and the 26-1 odds reflected such.
Bowe also was stripped for a failure to meet Lewis instead opting for a Holyfield re-match because he figured he had his measure and it paid more. Bowe had fear of Lewis because of the Olympics.
Lewis was avoided a lot in the 90's.

To be honest I think a lot of the people that have intense dislike for Joshua and love for Wilder will just move on. They may go to Miller but it will be a lot of "Oh I knew Wilder wasn't good Joshua is ducking ___". That's kind of how it is here. Most posters once they dislike a guy it's impossible to give credit or admit to being wrong.
What would I do personally? Nothing differently. I'll have been proven right and I'd probably start talking about Joshua as an accomplished modern boxer with a bright future.

If the winner of Fury/Wilder is a controversial winner, they may have to rematch. Or if Joshua fights the guy most people thought won the Fury/Wilder fight, and wins, Joshua becomes the undisputed heavyweight champ and we finally see a single name linked to the "best heavyweight in the world" moniker. I really dont know who comes out on top at the end but I like all three guys for different reasons. If you didnt know who they were and you somehow had lunch with all of them, you would probably be surprised to find out they fight for a living. I think they are all good guys really. I cant despise or dislike any of them. They are all cool with me.

We can just hope the fights happen, well we’re already getting the first one in Dec. A year later and most of it will be history.
