Who do we realistically want Wilder to fight who he hasn't already called out??
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

Fuck, they should have stopped that fight after the 3rd knockdown in the 1st round. Have to figure that he had at LEAST a minor concussion after the first knockdown of the fight, then to have to take all those bombs after... that's how guys get permanently damaged in there.
That's what I liked about Lennox though, he had a real mean streak in him. He could box and play it safe but if he smelled blood he could get guys out of there pretty quick.
Fury's already said he wants to fight Wilder in the future, potentially when one of thems got a world title and HBO would be interested. At the moments he's focused on becoming WBO mandatory whilst Wilder's waiting for his shot at the WBC title.

Grant is both underrated and overrated.
Grant was one of the most overhyped boxers of all time who ultimately failed to live up to expectations, he never seemed to recoup after his title loss to Lewis.
He also has lost only a handful of fights to either top contenders or hard punchers with circumstances in a long career with decent opposition.
The comparison with Wilder is valid for several reasons. Wilder is similarly hyped, Wilder has similar record to pre loss Grant, he is super tall and powerful like Grant and supremely athletic like Grant.
Some notable differences though, Grant is much bigger than Wilder. Grant is among the largest of boxers whilst Wilder is a top heavy, chicken legged, skinny gutted beanstalk. Grant has a big head and a solid chin, Wilder has a pin head and a weak jaw, he even got KO'd allegedly in sparring!!. Grant faced many good opponents in his career. Deontay faced SOME comparable opponents to Michael Grant (analysis of Wilder's record reveals that some of the journeymen opponents Wilder faced were of comparable level to Grant's journeymen). But overall definitely Grant faced much tougher opposition even before Lewis loss!! Grant could actually box some, Wilder is strictly a puncher. Grant had stamina, Wilder has no stamina.
Conclusion: Wilder will probably be exposed, I don't think he is or will be as good as Grant but that doesn't preclude him from ever winning a title as happenstance plays it's role too. Wilder would still KO anybody prior to the 80's, only possible exception being Foreman and that's a big maybe!

Grant was a big nothing and so will Wilder prove to be. Give it 12 months. There will be no Deontay Wilder. At least in the rankings Imean. He will exist nbut he will be working with Leon Spinks at the Omaha, Nebraska Burger King.
I get where you are going with this but I wouldn't mention him in the same sentence as Spinks. Doubt you are making a comparison between the two in terms of talent. You are smarter then that I gather from your posts.
I actually thought Grant had great potential. But I also thought getting married and having a truck load of kids was a good idea too so what do I know. Kill me now. I'm on saddoboxing forums while my wife is on bed on our god knows whatever number anniversary. She thinks I'm doing work.
I hope Wilder is the real thing as we desperately need someone exciting. Same reason I hope AB comes back although I loved the beatdown on the little prick. But we need exciting guys. I have no friends who can name more than 3 current fighters. I think that is sad.
Better go pretend to be a good husband.
Wilder hasn't shown much boxing ability for a top level fighter. But he hasn't have to . I wouldn't compare him to Grant as he better than him. IMO Wilder beats almost everyone now
