The confidence Wilder showed is very unique in today's heavyweight picture. I like what Lyle is saying with putting him in there with someone like Dominick Guinn next.
May I also suggest Michael Grant as I think that could be a really fun fight for Wilder.
Wilder will no doubt have to step up and hopefully it's before he falls in love with his power too much. He has to come to grips with the fact that he will not be able to KO everyone....one of these days he'll have to struggle, he'll have to fight the distance, and he'll have to be able to box for 10-12 rounds. Grant would be a good dangerous fight for him.
Yes 24 straight KO's is good and bad. There are some guys out there that are simply too good or too damn tough to KO. Oliver McCall falls into the latter category, but I like that crazy SOB and it would be sad to see his record of never being stopped come to an end against a young explosive guy like Wilder, who could possibly stop Oliver at his age.
I read on Boxingscene that David Price is looking to fight Michael Grant on some shit card in Feb 2013.
Jameel McCline recently made a comeback, so he also would be a good opponent for Wilder.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
