If to look at WBC rankings, we see Lucas Browne, Andy Ruiz, Manuel Charr, Tony Thompson and Chris Arreola available. However, it was said that Lucas Browne may be obliged to fight Chagaev. Manuel Charr is said to fight Denis Boytsov. So we have Andy Ruiz, Tony Thompson and Chris Arreola. I don't think it will be Chris Arreola because he hasn't still made his comeback and for this reason doesn't deserve a shot. So we have either Andy Ruiz jr. and Tony Thompson. I think they'll choose Tony Thompson.
Why not Price? You say that Price doesn't deserve the shot and will get KO'd, but Wilder will probably end up defending against someone far worse than Price.... Yeah, Price might get KO'd if this fight were to happen, but he could KO Wilder as well if he got his hands on him. I agree that Thompson/Wilder would be a good fight.
Thompson has beaten better fighters, and has one of the best resumes in hw boxing that's why. price doesn't deserve a shot, and he wouldn't talk himself into one either, hes boring. price Is still rebuilding hahahahaha his chin that is
Wilders chin is just as bad as Prices, if not worse.. Price has a great right cross, if he landed on Wilders chin it would be good night. Who wouldn't want to see Price/Wilder??? It would be a great fight while it lasted.
Szpilka and Molina are on that list as well. Molina was sparked by Arreola, but had Arreola on jelly legs early in the fight, so X that one out. Szpilka's been KDd by bums nearly as bad as Sconiers and Nichols. He's also had his glass jaw shattered to bits by slow, Foremanesque McCline L hook. (Though to his credit, he fought on and won a rightful decision). Also hurt and wobbled on multiple occasions by can crushing Mike Mollo, and similarly and TKOd by medium power punching BY Jennings. Szpilka recently signed with GAYMAN, so it's obvious he's a sacrificial lamb. Which for him, punchers chance and all, is a gift from the boxing gods. :good
