    Please vote. Some of these are going to end up as being repeats from previous, similar threads, but the Holmes-opponent thread didn't really take off anyway.

    Please respond. It is the covid era and you have nothing to do anyway.

    Being honest with myself I can see him beating

    Williams
    Foster
    Cooney 50/50 if he lands that left
    Grant due to Grant being a level below
    Tua if he fully prepared, focused and ran. Size size size

    Golota is he wasn’t having a panic attack would batter him

    Razor would put a beating on him. He went toe to toe with mike at his baddest, had and excellent variety of shots, chin, heart. Yeah razor in this

    I think shavers if he can land big on holmes he’s gonna get to wilder

    And lyle again for me

    Wilder only really has the huge right bomb, but because he throws it from so far away, intelligent boxers with ring IQ should see it coming and avoid it.
    I think the list of names are ( apart from Fury ) way above the level of opponent Wilder has faced.
    I think he could get lucky & land his right, as he twice did v Fury, but l really think he struggles here.
    He could possibly beat 2 or 3, but only if he lands.
