    We can rule out AJ, Wilder, Ortiz and Ruiz jr.

    Somewhat realistic options: Alexander Povetkin, winner of Whyte/Rivas, Joseph Parker, Jarell Miller (when he gets back from ban) Kubrat Pulev (revenge for pudding hughie)

    Any of them or any other suggestions?

    I would like to see him face-

    Whyte/Rivas winner
    Usyk
    Joyce

    Out of your other options-

    I don’t think the Parker fight happens because they are friends. I don’t think he faces Miller because the recent cocktail of PEDs he was caught with will stop him getting big fights.

    I think we saw that Povetkin is a 6 round fighter these days against AJ. I don’t have an urge to see a shot fighter in their late 30s gas again.

    Pulev would be a good fight though I agree with that.

    If we end up with Charr though we will all be unhappy.

    I think all these names are highly optimistic. It will be a slight step up from Tom Schwarz. They ain't risking that potential Wilder PPV.

    Takam would be a good fight next, if he (Takam) doesn't fight Usyk.

    Povetkin, pulev or kabayal next please

    The pulev fight would be probably best as they want another fight stateside and he’s had exposure

    If there's no big fight, then at least someone a level above Schwarz. Maybe Helenius

    Coming to you on a reduced price of $59 PPV... £25 in the UK. LBC belt on the line of course.

    Because he’s so boring.

    Bryan I’m adamant it will be.

    Molina or some bummy US name.

    It won't be a live fight. They NEED the Wilder fight to get their investment back

    I would like Whyte, Usyk or Parker.

    Based on the fact he won’t be fighting Pulev as he’s a mando and will not fight anyone with a pulse to put the Wilder fight at risk. They also won’t be paying crazy money to the opponent. It will be Bryan, Charr, Kabayel,

    Or based on the fact Haye was at the last fight. Even Chisora/Spzilka winner

    Yes Molina is a good shout or maybe someone durable that doesn't throw a lot back like Duhaupas...

    I think Molina is a good shout, he’s just pulled out of a Parker fight.
