    I think Golota folds under his power & he catches up w/ Rahman @some point.

    Ruiz could potentially give him some trouble w/ his inside smothering tactics, but IDK if I trust him told hold up under Wilder's power for an entire fight.

    Byrd would be his toughest test of the group IMO.

    I think he could have beaten all those. Some of them he might have to come back after being down on the cards be he certainly could have handed all of them KO losses

    Golota wins if he's in any of his 2000s incarnations where he's focused and serious, and Byrd likely takes a fine decision, too. Wilder - Rahman would be a bit of a toss up, as they're both on a similar level, but I think that Deontay wins easily over Ruiz.
