We'll know a bit more post Bergman, I'm hoping it'll be Takam as it puts him closer to fighting Martin. I'd agree after watching a few of those HW fights lately that JP needs a few top 25 fights under him to really be ready, but I'm sure if an opportunity came up within the year they'd take it.
Why not take it? He's young, he himself said that he wants to retire from boxing at 31...this doesn't leave him much time. If he gets a crack, puts on a good show, wins or gets defeated, there will be other chances. The market dictates if fights get put on, and if the boxing fans like what they see, those attractive fighters get more chances.
Nowdays fighters tend to want to hold onto their 0 records too much without testing themselves...and the trouble is, like Wilder, the alphabets allow it.
