    Jennings I think if brought along intelligently can be knocking on the door within 3-4 fights, maybe a little more. To me he's the most promising of the bunch. It used to be Mitchell... but again, his mental attitude toward boxing worries me. I like the fact he's an ex-football player, which means he'll more than likely always show up in great physical shape. But he's gotta search within himself if he wants to take the arduous path to HW stardom. "Lack of passion" won't do.

    Wilder I'm sort of frustrated about. One more fight against a fat, blubbery bum and I'm gonna start considering him a circus freak. One with a powerful right hand and an ornery attitude... but a circus freak just the same. 25 fights and not a live body in sight is utterly disgraceful... I don't care HOW carefully you're trying to bring along a boxer.

    Oliver McCall, even at his ripe old age, would be a HUGELY dangerous fight for Wilder at this point. McCall has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and tends to swing for the fences with every shot. One connect is all it would take for Wilder to lose that "0". But he (Wilder) certainly needs an upgrade in opponent. Someone who will take him past 4 rounds.

    I'm thinking some of these prospects need to start facing each other (a la Mitchell-Banks) before too long.

    Deontay Wilder is only 27 years old...so I can see allowing him to tweak things in fights here and there but I agree eventually you've got to step up and I think Domonick Guinn would be PERFECT for him. Guinn still has a chin, he can punch a bit, he's a bit timid in throwing his punches not for fear of retaliation but he just never seems to pull the trigger. He'll give Wilder 10 rounds which is what Deontay needs.

    Also hopefully the sparring with Wlad helped a lot, it should at least show him what a top teir professional looks like.

    Seth Mitchell is over for me, he finally fought a BOXER and Jonathan Banks who people have shat on for a long while as being "nothing special" just steamrolled him. It's not about desire, it's not about work ethic, it's about the boxer's mental makeup. In football, you get knocked down everything is cool...next play. In boxing you've got to learn how to cope on the fly and to me Seth just didn't muscle through, Banks made him feel weak and Mitchell wanted a way out

    Tony Grano might be a good match-up for Bryan Jennings next. He's in the top of the WBC rankings, as per @Freedom, he's more experienced than Jennings, and he's from Pennsylvania.

    Didn't know much about Grano so I looked him up... saw a video of his fight against Williamson.
    I think Jennings would make short work of Grano.
