    I'd like to see him leave Tyson Fury convulsing on the ground but Fury wants none of that!

    But realistically:

    Grant
    Dimitrenko
    Kevin Johnson
    Thompson
    shane cameron
    Franklin Lawrence
    Derric Rossy
    Banks
    jason estrada
    Chisora
    USS Cunningham
    David Price
    Boystov
    sam peter

    Great chin,not much power,average technique,brings alot of pressure .. would be ideal for Wilder......still think Chisora would end up stopping him though.

    Fury ducks Wilder to instead fight ... Chagaev .. mark my words,Fury would smash Wilder into dust.
    (Do people really still think Fury is ducking Wilder? Chagaev is better than anyone Wilder has fought and Wilder himself)

    chagaev is a shot sick old man, fury would get much more props for beating wilder.

    wilder and fury both have glass chins but fury is featherfisted whereas wilder can punch. you go with the puncher every time when glass is involved, especially when the puncher is by far the more aggressive fighter. wilder would have fury on the canvass with his eyes rolling into the back on his head. price is far better than fury.

    Most of these are too risky for Wilder at this point. Someone like Grant, Rossy, Estrada, Harris, Walker, Ibragimov are more realistic.

    Shot? Sure, he's ill but he's hardly shot for **** sake, he's won his last 3 this year alone and has only lost to povetkin and wlad ... shot my arse.
    The opposition Chagaev has beaten is miles ahead of Wilders aswell, how would Fury gain more beating Wilder? Overall Chagaev is a much better
    opponent and will do more for Fury's career at this point than beating Wilder would.

    Chisora is the best option for him imo. At this stage. If he gets through Chisora I would like to see him with a Chagaev. If he got through that then a David Haye or Arreola would be nice.

    Firtha, Niño Rodriguez, M. Barret, Boswell, Meehan, T. Walker, M. Harris, would be ideal.

    I agree.

    We're all frustrated as hell with Wilder's past opponents, but it would still be foolish to step up too fast.
