    Glazkov is fighting Cumningham in March. I like Cunningham in that match. Winner is a Wlad Mando.
    Fury is already a Wlad mando.
    So I think Wlad will fight Jennings in April and Fury over summer no later than Labor Day.
    As for Wilder I suspect he will fight a smaller opponent that is in Haymon's stable...Szpika? Then his mando will be do - winner of Perez vs Povetkin. After that I hope unification in early 2016.
    As for Wilder's ranking right now. I think it's Wlad, Povetkin, Pulev, and then Fury and Wilder are debatable. If they break script and fight each other the winner will leapfrog Povetkin as #1 contender. Which would make for a great fight with Povetkin or Wlad.

    ^ very interesting. Also shocked a King fighter doesn't have an immediate rematch clause.

    Makes sense when you see him reaching for fluid off the scale after the weigh in, which was mental.

    Well it's his own dumbass fault for getting himself in that condition, fighters these days are pathetic.

    Outside of Povetkin, the rest are either un-proven or not very good.

    I think Usyk ( Crusier weight ) would rank in the top 3. I also think there are at least three amateur super heavies that need to go pro soon.

    Is Wilder the next Cleveland Williams? Tall, a little thin, a puncher, and a shaky chin. Maybe.

    I'd rather fight Williams than Wilder.

    Anorexia ?

    (He hadn't been eating normally for a while).




    Priapism ?

    (Some commentators said he looked a bit stiff).




    Dysmenorrhea ?

    (Hope not !)

    watching the fight again I have to say Wilder answered a lot of question. As far as Stiverne, he lacked head movement and did not push himself, he was the more winded fighter but he is carrying a lot of weight so its hard, Stiv took a good punch and threw a few good ones of his own but no combo's because of his lack of steam.

    Wilder is top 5 right now possibly top 3, not sure how he does against a pressure guy but he showed me some good infighting ability and good head movement and his feet were not bad. A pressure guy may be hard but the pressure guy has to walk through some of Wilders bombs (easier said than done)

    It's so hard to give Murray a chance. Not just because of what Golovkin has done but how he is - doesn't look like he cuts any corners in training.

    Ha! If Murray can do it fair play to him!
