    Loses to all of them in one sided mismatches.

    Yes, he gave Fury hell and had it not been for so much money involved in Wilder vs Fury 2 the fight would have been stopped and Wallin would have won. However it's clear to see his flaws in the Fury amd Granat fights. I kean he lost several rounds to Granat and he was KOed 1st round by Dimitrenko.

    The question that would be fairer should be invovling lesser opposition than the above mentioned such as how would Wallin fair against Martin, Takam, Chisora, Jennings, Ortiz, Wilder and Kownacki level of fighters and even then I would back the majority of them against Wallin.

    I feel like Wallin is really being overhyped here. He has potential and showed a good performance against the current WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World Tyson Fury. But I need to see him in some other decent fights to really judge.

    He's southpaw though, so that may give him a plus, but I don't see him being better than Ortiz or Usyk.

    Very unlikely. Maybe if one is vacant and he can fight a pushover for it, or one of the WBA secondary or lesser belts.
    I favor all of them against him, some very easy.

    We don’t know but he landed more punches on fury in 1 fight than wlad an wilder did in 3. Also more rounds.

    fight hrgovic. I think he could beat him. 6 5,southpaw, chin, reach.

    Has anyone noticed Wallin only has 21 fights ? He was a prospect going into the Fury fight with inactivity. He’s probably the best southpaw at heavyweight .

    There's a danger of putting too much emphasis in good losing performances. Sure he gave Fury far more problems than anyone expected but he lost by a wide margin and Fury was beating him up later in the fight.

    Everyone was high on Jennings after he lost to Wlad because he took a few more rounds than expected and look where he is now having lost to Ortiz, Joyce and Rivas.

    So right now I'd have him an underdog to all those guys. He'll need to actually beat someone decent not look good losing before we can say he belongs at the level the Fury fight suggested.

    Has something about him but probably on the level of a Duhaupas.

    Maybe the WBF title against Audley Harrison. Then again Im not sure if he would beat Fraudley.

    I dont think so

    I figure he really only had success because of the cut

    Miller and Pulev aren`t a threat to the top 5 fighters, Wallin might beat Whyte or Prker but would get beat by the rest.

    Wallin probably loses to most of the better names. The belts might all get split up again down the line so that would help in getting a title shot. He might get a vacant shot for instance
    He should be looking to develop now, he's a decent fighter, big and a southpaw so he should test himself against some of those on the same level as himself.

    Wallin I think beats most of them on list,, I don't think his fight with Fury was a fluke.
    Whyte v Wallin would be a absolute war & a fight I'd love to watch.
