    That's actually a very good fight if Helenius wins he is back at the contender level

    Terper has also good punching power

    He obviously wants Wilder, but I'm not sure his handlers are ready to cash him out yet.

    Wilder has to fight Povetkin next unless Wlad gives him opportunity to unify which would supersede a mandatory. Wilder between a rock and a hard place. Which is good since Molina and Duhaupas as voluntary defenses is an embarrassment.

    It may very well be Wilder. He's screwed either way, better to fight the champ for a huge payday, rather than face Povetkin who probably wouldn't generate as much.

    Wlad has just signed a 5 fight TV deal, so he's in no hurry.
    Once he beats Fury;
    Glazkov (in the Ukraine - national pride blah blah)
    Briggs (wants to smash him - in the US for money)
    Teper (in Germany once he gets past Helenius and Chisora)
    Wilder/Povetkin (unification to get WBC)
    Joshua (passing of the torch)

    Briggs (while Wilder gets sparked out by Povetkin), then rematch with Povetkin.

    If Wilder somehow wins on points (KO is out of the question), then Wilder after Briggs.

    Yes, I want Shannon to get a shot. His finances are real bad and he is a good friend of Klitschkos. If may can give his friend 4 mil payday, why can't wlad?
