So who do we want to see Wladimir fight next?

[beenKOed]

I will get half excited when he faces Wilder or Fury..

I'm going to have to go with this answer, even if their chins may be suspect or unknown.
Wladimir may KO them but at least things will be somewhat interesting until that happens.


Most of the other guys I can sort of picture getting a predictable sort of methodical beat down. That's not much fun to watch for me at least.

I agree with you about Wilder, but I think Fury would de easy money for Wlad and like you say exciting for a while. There is no way Fury can out muscle Wald or take his punch.
The only reason I think Wilder might make a fight of it is because he is a complete mystery and I'm talking about his chin. He has some speed and a good punch, but if he can't KO or at least hurt Wad early and doesn't have a CHIN, he is doomed, Wlad will KO him or make him quit.
Like you said every one else is known and would be a predictable and methodical beat down.
That's my guesstimate on the subject.

Wilder was KD's by Haye and Klitschko in sparring and otherwise batted around like a rag doll.

His chin is weak dude. Probably weaker than Fury's. He has a really hard punch and the speed and range to land it, that's his one ticket.

And it is a good ticket because Wlad will not take well to it if it does land. But it's still a long shot.

Wlad will likely just punch the shit out of Wilder and leave him canvassed early.

is this true or just another sparring rumour, like haye being ko'd by wilder? I can definently believe wilder was knocked down by both guys... I read a story saying wladimir said wilder did very well in sparring with him.

I voted pulev, the wbc belt isnt coming wlads way anytime soon so he might aswell get pulev out of the way, who has made some good progress with beating other minor contendors, his win v tony thompson looks alright after thompson disposed of solis.. Wladimir should leave teh other guys to build themselves a bigger reputation, it would make it a bigger fight and they might actually watch it in america for a change :S

[Max Power]

That's a good plan actually. And yeah I think it's time to return to America too. I doubt if anything will satisfy some though.

I've never heard of Wilder KOing Haye in sparring, that's a new one. And I know Wladimir said nice things about Wilder. There have been pretty solid articles by onlookers awhile back though that Haye and Wladimir both beat up Wilder pretty easily though. I wasn't there so can't validate the sources info or anything but it's pretty obviously the truth. I've never heard anybody refute those statements that was in the know.

Therefore I think in reality Wilder already has been exposed at the very top level. Although he does stand his chance considering his outstanding qualities still and will still be a potential force against the other contenders.

Obviously I'm alone with Arreola but I think Chris would be able to waste him personally. If Wilder could knock Chris out that would be a major achievement in my book. Something nobody, including Vitali has been able to do.

I think Wlad should fight Max Power and KTFO of him.

[VG_Addict]

Wilder vs. Fury would be an exciting fight.

what if max got a lucky punch and won :S jacksonman would have another aussie to make a million posts about too...

Wilder koing haye was a big deal on this forum, it wasmeant to have happened in the preperation to one of the fury fights and was used as the reason(well haye being in terrible shape) haye pulled out.. It was started from some guy posting it on facebook and took off... looking at the sparring videos haye released it seemed he was having no problems with wilder at all.. I can certainly believe both of them giving wilder a very tough time when.. It was also pretty early in wilders career when wladimir sparred him and wilder is a bit of a noob still so you wouldn't expect too much out of him v wladimir, I can believe wilder has improved a lot since then.. I still think wladimir would own him though, tyson fury is the only one from this list who i think could win or make it interesting at least

Pulev. It's a no brainer. Wilder isn't going anywhere near Wladimir yet. Trust me.

Wilder will fight for the WBC title and if he wins that will probably avoid Wlad for years waiting for him to decline and take the fight over in America

Klinchko is nothing to avoid.

I avoid watching that trash.

Back on the topic of Wilder-Fury, if Wilder beats the winner of Stiverne-Arreola II, and Fury beats Chisora in their rematch, a fight between them could be a big deal.

[boyla]

Wilder has avoided his way to fight for a token belt, with stiverne-arreola winner, do not see him doing a complete opposite of his boxing career and pick a fight with fury, with no belt involved.

Wilder is a raw fighter, he has not been tested and could very well stumble like Price if he takes a step up in opposition.
