    He's not European champ now. Don't back track. You've already said this
    That's irrelevant and you know it.
    Against nobody's. Pit him against Price's first 20 fights and see how many losses you'd have him taking.
    Another way of saying this is
    Otto Wallin is not a world level fighter and should not be considered for such a high profile fight

    I know it can seem a cowardly attitude but guys these things have always happened at a certain level.

    Otto Wallin has won two versions of the European Heavyweight championship. He is unbeaten in 20 fights and is ranked number 4 by the WBA and 11 by the IBF. Price in comparison is currently only ranked 9th by the WBA and has lost 2 of his last 5 with 6 devastating KO's on his record. He is also 36 now and what you're suggesting, put him in with Tyson who is considered the best heavyweight on the planet is actually dangerous and irresponsible. Wallin is a young hungry fighter who has earned his shot and deserves the chance to 'step up' as Price did against Thompson in 2013.

    Breazeale and Schwarz look better.

    In these times unless it happens something like Miller all the high ranked boxers will always choose the fighters can give them less problems possible. It works so, they dont give a damn of the rankings cause they play with the rankings as good as possible.

    1 that matters and is not right now. I never said he didn't win the European Championship. I said he wasn't right now. You did say he was right now and you are wrong.
    Against no one who was coming to win. Prices first 20 fights were much more difficult.
    Whuppie! He's ranked top 5 by an organisation who has Trevor Bryan as number 1. Has Fres Oquendo top 15 and has someone who hasn't even fought in the division yet at 2. He's not even top 10 with the IBF, and they have a vacant number 2 place. Wtf? How do have a vacant position in a numbered rankings?
    This organisation has Kuzmin at 7 and Kayabeal (the actual European champ) at 4. Two better fights than Wallin.

    Fury is masquerading this absolute **** show of a fight as a top HW clash to fans who don't know a thing about the rankings.
    Otto Wallin has faced no one who was in the top 30...

    Put him in with who price has fought and he gets KOed more than Price does.
    So is putting Wallin in with Fury. In fact Wallin isn't even on the level of Hughie Fury.
    He hasn't earned nothing. He hasn't beaten anyone. He's earned his ranking by staying undefeated against low tier opposition and paying 1% of his purse to the WBA. That's not earning a shot that's exploiting a system. He's not earned ****. I'm not even saying price has I'm saying he's more worthy of a title shot than Wallin is.

    Fury is conning the public (again) and thinking that people who know boxing won't notice. I'm from Manchester and I'm saying this. I live down the road from him and I'm defending Price. The Otto fight is absolutely pathetic, as was the Schwarz fight.

    You can reply if you want but when it comes down to it I've made my point, proved you wrong and all you've done in return is partially reply to posts, dodge the points I've made and chat utter shite. My work here is done.

    By now there are roads well outlined to follow: thats to say doing as many matches as possible between Wilder, Fury, Joshua and Ruiz, that is the business and in the middle various bespoke matches. Only unexpected events like Miller can break the order of the things.

    Tyson Fury is soo full of shite, he should have flush handles for ears.

    Facing two non top 20 opponents in a row, running his mouth, then watching very ignorant fans come out to see him.

    Think you are getting the belts confused. Wallin was the last person to win the European Union title.

    https://www.boxebu.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/euchampionshipslist8-2.pdf

    He lost 6 fights by devastating KO. I don't see anyone in Price's first 20 fights who would trouble Wallin apart from Tony Thompson. Skelton and McD' were well past there best when Price fought them.

    It's actually spelt 'Whoopie!'

    How do you think you earn a mandatory shot? Of course you have to pay your fee's. At least you are finally getting a grasp of how professional boxing works.

    "Schwarz, on the other hand, is expected to earn a $250,000 fight purse for his main event bid with a guarantee somewhere in the low seven figures."

    So it was actually more than $1 million.

    I would probably give it a rest now if I were you.
