I'm not too sure, but before Hearn/AJ, how did the UK market do? I think if Wilder beats AJ, the US market will definitely come into play.
Washington, Miller, Breazeale, Jennings are all gate keepers. Yeah, some of them may contend here or there, but none will be getting a belt.
In looking at the available fighters for AJ and Wilder, they're slowly but surely getting rid of the possible contenders. Who would have a good chance of beating either one of them now?
Fury/Wilder/Joshua are to my mind the only 3 that are a serious threat to each other right now. There are some dangers on the horizon though. Here are my picks
1. Usyk.
Slick, skilled, elite level talent. Size may prove an issue but he's got the skills to trouble anyone
2. Joe Joyce
He's 6'6", an athlete who brings pressure and power and supposedly a great chin. He's a far superior version of Dominic Brezeale basically and could be a problem
3. Tony Yoka
He's a bit raw but this guy has both size and great athleticism. If he continues to develop he has real potential in 2-3 years time
4. Daniel Dubois
Size and power, supposedly gave a real hard time to Povetkin in sparring. He is a bit raw but it's very early days and he's doing great so far
5. Nathan Gorman
He's visually unappealing but this guy has brilliant handspeed and very accurate combinations, he's a cousin of Tyson Fury
