    Let's say for a five year time period.

    I suppose I would choose Wilder because, if he does hit it, he'd revive America's interest in HWs, with his size and the back-story of his little daughter's health problems. He also has a "charmingly brash" personality that appeals to certain elements. The returns could be massive.

    But, that's a big if.

    As much as it burns me to say it, Fury.

    Fury. Decent mix of skills, youth, brash and marketable personality. Has potential crossover appeal. Price is the more skilled of the two, though he strikes me as a bit dry and boring. And for a prospect he's getting on in years. Boring name too.

    Wouldn't touch Wilder with a ten foot pole.

    Think Wilder has the greatest potential, but is also the least likely to realise it due to his terrible management and matchmaking so far. I would probably go with price, his devastating power will get him a lot of attention and i think he has the skill base to dominate the post klit era. He most likely has a bad chin but same for all three of them really. Fury is a promoter's dream in terms of hyping a fight but while he is genuinely good i get the feeling he will burn out quickly.

    Price or Fury. Even Audley Harrison could make serious, serious money in the UK after 4,5,6 utterly heartless performances. Two losses would do for Wilder in terms of bankability.

    I wouldnt go anywhere near Wilder, shaky chin and he only has right hand power he is very sloppy even Kelvin Price was beating him til he knocked him out, he may have charisma but i see that as more of an undeserved confidence talking about being number 1 after hed just flattened some blown up SMW can really put me off Wilder. Has to be Price or Fury for me, both are more talented, Fury has the charisma and has a big Irish following, where as Price is a devastating puncher which will always attract the casual fans.

    Wilder 26-0 26 KO's, no opponent lasting past the 4th round, what's not to like?

    Price for me.

    Well spoken and a likeable personality, and will attract a good British following if he's marketed as the country's only heavyweight hope. Got the talents to live up to that label, too.

    Wilder, as exciting as he is, is stuck in a market where people won't give a toss about him. Heavyweight boxing in America is dead to the point where prospects seemed to be ignored by the sporting public. Price, fortunately, won't be burdened by that. British fans are gullible and they'll be quick to jump on his bandwagon. Americans are harder to convince in that regard.

    His choice of opponents at this point in his career being the main thing I reckon.

    The fact those "opponents" were literally dragged from a bar stool and thrown in the ring to fight Wilder.
