    I wanna chime in on wilder since i've not mentioned my
    opinion on him yet. The kids got obvious KO power and
    his height and quite well used range is going to be very
    dangerous for any heavyweight not named klitschko. Yes,
    he is very raw and not a skilled guy, but the way he goes
    about measuring his opponent with the distance to set it
    up with is a possibly negatable tool to his liabilities. The
    following guys at there best would be a bad style matchup
    for the alabaman. Wlad and Vitaly are excluded from this list.

    Derek chisora-From what i've seen of deontay, me thinks
    he doesn't do well with a guy who comes in low with a
    good gaurd looking to do damage up close.
    Robert helenius-It's no secret that deontay's chin is suspect,
    and with the big swede using the uli wegner high gaurd and
    helenius matched size and proven chin, a quick finish for the
    young guy might be out of the question. Helenius is a big man
    with a solid punch who's gone rounds. Wilder is a question mark
    in that regard.
    Tony Thompson-IMO the best of our country's heavyweights.
    TT has too much craft, guile, and mental toughness to allow deontay
    to get him in his sights. Thompson will dictate the pace of this fight
    and make deontay forget about his power long enough to take the
    kid somewhere he's never been before. TT knows how to fight these
    tall guys and wilder will not show the veteran anything he's not seen
    before.
    David Haye Too fast and explosive with enough power to
    stop deontay. Question is..........who lands 1st? My guess would
    be the brit.

    Now, for guys who I think Wilder would have my pick to beat

    Tyson fury-Bad chin, bad chin and bad chin. Tyson's also slower
    than wilder and can't seem to avoid a good right hand, Wilders
    best punch. Early KO for the american is my pick.
    Any american heavy not named Arreola or Tony Thompson
    Deontay is too big and powerful for the rest of them. Jennings and
    adamek both are better skilled fighters but are just too small and
    don't have the power needed to expose wilder's most obvious glitch.
    Alexander povetkin this fight will likely not happen since Wlad
    is going to severly wreck the smaller russian, but Sasha suffers from the
    same problem as adamek and jennings. I also feel that wilder has enough
    dig to KO povetkin.

    There's more I could mention but i'll be amazed if more than half of
    the posters on here read this much, so i'll quit while i'm ahead:yep

    I read all of it :cool: Solid analysis.

    Re Helenius - I'd favor the pre injurie(s) Rob over DW. Not sure about the recent version of RH.

    Thanks for reading. Yes, i agree about today's robbe, so that's
    why I said at their best. Helenius' career may well be over now.
