    Rivas would absolutely smash him to bits. Only Fury fans will say differently because it’s damage control for them to hype European level Wallin up because he put in a good performance against Fury.

    Wallin would outbox him. Rivas is limited.

    Wallin has a good jab and a big reach advantage. Rivas tends to be very low output. Could be a close fight. I'm probably leaning towards Rivas because of experience and power. Wallin has better cardio. I really like the idea of this two guys fighting. Never really thought about it in the first place.

    I’ll take Dirty Wallin. Rivas is a crude slugger.

    Both limited. Gun to my head, Rivas.

    I'd pick Wallin, I think Wallin is a real dark horse, big, strong, rugged, determined, he's a problem for many.

    Rivas by decision although Wallin is more of an unknown quantity. Can't rule him out.

    Rivas though he has a low out put

    Wallin I think got flattered in his performance vs Fury. Take away the nasty cut and I don't think Wallin does that much

    People think Rivas easily wins because ... he beat Jennings while being down on the cards in the 12th? He got beaten by Whyte in an elim? What has he done to deserve the hype?

    Wallin's performance against Fury, the no.1 HW in the world, despite Fury being handicapped by the cut, is better than anything Rivas has done. If you think stopping Jennings in the 12th while losing is better than what Wallin did, you're a fool.

    Wallin should be the one with more credibility here, how laughable is this. Wallin is also bigger. So who knows who wins, let's see, but the idea Rivas has proven more is silly.

    Rivas.
    Wallin is overrated. Without that cut Fury would destroy him like he did with Wilder.
