    Krzysztof Zimnoch also had an amateur win over Deontay.

    Wilder fighting a "top HW" ?

    Find that hard to believe.

    Sink that low? Its a step up. You're just looking for a reason to throw him under the bus.

    Why is it top secret who he will fight a month from now. Well seeing Magomed already fights in the USA I would think its going to be him. Boytsov is trash and he is not going to come to the USA anyway. Both Wilder and Mago are untested as pro's. Risky fight for Wilder because Mago has serious punching power but so does Wilder. Mago seems to take a good punch but if Wilders chin is as bad as people are saying he may get KTFO. But Wilder may stop Mago fast. It would be a good step up for Wilder. Mago is better than Pulev and Boytsov.

    Glazkov would be good, but not the other two. Lyakhovich is done and Ustinov just isn't very good IMO. If he's going to keep stepping up at the rate of those two, he'll be retired before he fights for a title.

    what's sad, Zimnoch fighting 48 year old drug addict McCall is still a better opponent than anyone on Wilder's resume

    Nobody of consequence is going to take this fight on 4-5 weeks notice. It is obviously another set up fight to make Wilder look good. A couple logical names have already been mentioned but considering the much bigger than Chisora moniker. It is probably Dimitrienko or that guy Pulev just stopped.

    Neitherr is acually Russian but I would not exactly expect the source to know the difference.

    I hadn't thought of Dimitrenko, but that would make sense for Wilder because he's been going downhill and looked poor in his last fight. As you say, he would make Wilder look good.

    Ustinov is tougher and stronger than Dimitrenko even though he also lost to Pulev, so he'd present a slight risk.

    YEP! It is now stage two of the Wilder build up. They feed him shot/overmatched fighters that had something of a name or gimmick only now they put him on TV to spread the hype.

    if it's magomed then the fight would be over pretty quick one way or the other

    mago takes a good shot but from wilder? i don't know

    the bigger question is could wilder take mago's shot?

    wilders would probably get there first

    would be an interesting fight. tough pick

    There's now a rumor that Deontay will be fighting Alexander Ustinov from Belarus.

    That's an interesting fight if it happens.

    A former MMA fighter, Ustinov is slow and has poor boxing skills, but he's stronger than anyone Deontay has ever faced and has decent punching power.

    Man Dimitrenko is not coming to the USA to fight. At least I don't think he will. But Wilder said TOP HEAVYWEIGHT. Dimitrenko is no where near the top. He never has been. He was just hyped a lot of this forum like Pulev is now.I think it will be Mago. I wish it was Pulev but he is not coming to the USA to get exposed. Pulev is trash.
