    I've heard the shortlist includes Hasim Rahman, John Ruiz and Oliver McCall.

    Honest to god the hype this guy is getting is sickening. Have all of you not learned a thing from the whole David Price scenario. I don't have any hate for this guy, all the best to him but stop saying he'd KO guys like Chisora in 2 or 3 rounds when he has not fought at any where near that level yet.

    Chisora is tailor made for wilder. Boytsov is trash

    I'd like to see him in with a very durable fighter who won't get blown out in the early rounds. If he is to progress and be ready for a title shot at some point he needs to face guys who have proven durability. Wilder showed scary power against Liakhovich he needs better opposition to really test him and gain experience. He's learning nothing just blowing guys out.

    Someone like Chisora, Arreola, Johnson or Wach. Durable guys who can take him some rounds.

    Chisora is hands down the one I want to see Wilder fight. Chisora has a chin, an aggressive inside style, and will force Wilder to fight more than he's used to.

    Chisora KO win tho.

    I like Wilder, but after 5 years as a pro and winning all his fights so easily I think it's time to fight a few decent HWs.

    Not necessarily anyone in the top 10 yet, but perhaps fight a couple of fringe contenders like Kevin Johnson, Carlos Takam, Franklin Lawrence, Amir Mansour or Luis Ortiz.

    Then, by mid 2014, he should step up and fight a top ten HW.

    There's no way Wilder will fight Chisora. He knows Chisora is too tough and will spark him.

    People want wilder in with somebody who doesnt go down quickly!
    Chisora might be that guy who could give us an indication how good wilder really is!

    Chisora is a good match, I think Bryant Jennings would be a winnable fight vs a credible opponent.

    Certainly NOT Chris Arreola, a good puncher with a decent chin.

    Someone who isn't a dish washer or has been washed up for 5+ years :yep

    The names mentioned above in the top 10-15 are all good.
    I'm partial to Arreola or Chisora.
