Wilder vs....

[jon09]

Kevin Johnson would be a perfect opponent because he has mediocre power and a concrete chin that absorbed Fury and Klitchko's best shots.

[boyla]

And I thought British posters over hyped there fighters. DDDDDDDDD

I look forward to Deontay stepping up, but those fighters are still a different league to the dross he has fought.
As for a title in 2-3 fights, I do not see it happening.

I forgot about Johnson. And you're right with that too.

Win, lose or draw, Fury has made a fan out of me. Truly!!

Wilder v Arreleo or Adamek would ensure he goes past round 4.

[Spicoli]

What about Odlanier Solis? Has come back with a few wins and has a style that could help...or maybe upset...Wilder more than just hammering old nails like Briggs, Quinn and a Toney who frankly needs to just go away.

His people have been calling Wilder out.

[Vendettos]

Shannon Briggs and Toney?? Really??

Briggs firstly is retired and hasn't fought for a few years.

Toney is a decade past what should have been his retirement, I reckon Wilder would kill Toney inside a few rounds. There's a reason he's fighting nobody's now, he can fight them and not worry about a youngster like Wilder bombing him for 10 rounds.


Needs to be someone like Arreola. Kevin Johnson would be my bet though!

[p4pking]

Arreola and Mitchell is pretty much happening last I read, kind of a waste. I don't care to see Kevin Johnson fight anyone, he's such a timid flower puncher that I'm not sure I couldn't go 12 rounds with him, that proves dick all. No different than a Dominick Guinn or somebody like that, we don't need to see a guy go rounds in a televised sparring session just because he hasn't had to, an opponent who will punch him is what Wilder needs. Arreola would have been a perfect test, but he's tied up like most everyone in the OP. Jennings or Chagaev are the only 2 who don't have a fight that I know of, either would be great to obviously.

The thing is with him fighting an opponent with a chin is that we will see if he has stamina and is able to go rounds or maybe do something the other fighters couldn't do and knock him (Johnson or Guinn) senseless to raise his stock even more. Carlos Takam could be a decent test for him also.

Briggs hasn't retired... he's not looking for a fight, but a fight can be made. Toney will certainly take him into the later rounds and test his boxing ability. We want to see his boxing ability, not his punching power- which is evident.

This Solis fight is a good idea. Has the pedigree. Plus, Solis himself hasn't been tested to any great extent.

[Silkeyjoe]

Solis is far too dangerous for Wilder imo. He needs someone like Chisora, or if he could, Helenius. Other then that he should stick to another US fighter

I think that's why they're calling him out. It would just be along the lines of what he needs. Solis or Johnson are a different look but lack the visibility or network push. Chris and Mitchell are as predictable as they come and have had the polish taken off but technically make good sense. Johnson could sharpen Wilder mentally as much as physical but could also just keep his hands in his pockets like v Vitali. Likewise Solis but is a much more respectable threat. Just feels like a fun styles fight.

We want to see him in a dangerous fight. It's time. I forgot about Helenius- he doesn't want to fight the big fights. Helenius is another Brian Neilsen to me- someone who's just there.
