Who can give Wilder some needed Rounds

I say Tony Thompson because of his overall physical ability; He stands at 6'5 inches tall, In addition, he is a very cagey and crafty veteran with lots of experience. He gave Wladimir all he can handle in their first meeting, by slowing down the pace and extending him for eleven rounds by neutralizing his jab until succumbing to Klitschko's huge right hand. Also, he is a very awkward southpaw who he can still hit, even at the age 40. In my opinion, this would be Deontay Wider's biggest test of his young career.

Actually I totally overlooked this. But Chisora vs. Wilder could be a very good test and fight. This fight makes a lot of sense, especially because Wilder and Malik Scott are good friends. They already have a background story about revenge for this one.

the hulk..........

ustinov, tua, wach, kevin johnson. anybody with a chin and a style that will go rounds will do. to be fair, they've tried that before, and he's stopped them. i want to see him in one or two fights that are several rounds (at least 4, preferably eight,) and then i think he'll be ready as he'll ever be for a step up. he's not going to turn into some fleet boxer at this stage. he can hardly box. he needs to fix his flaws enough where he won't be outclassed, and try and land his power. Good choice! Never thought of him...

Pajkic, guinn, mccall(bad idea but he's never been down & pushing 50)... Guinn or pajkic. Guinn has the best chin but pajkic is s tough SOB with a good chin. He will be in wilder's kitchen as long as it lasts. I've seen him take massive bombs & keep coming...

Chisora or TT

If it's rounds you really want - and IYO that's the most sensible next move - I'd go with Adamek. However, that's what Liakhovich was supposed to do (LOL), who had never been stopped before round 9! Personally, if I were managing Deontay, I'd go for it (i.e. the highest-ranked opponent possible) if I could. He's not nor will ever be a finesse fighter anyway. His strength is his strength -- and it is fearsome. Can you really blame any top ten HW for not having any excitement about scheduling The Bronze Bomber?! :boxing: I'd go for it if its a klitchko,,, losing to them will be expected, career high payday, plus if wilder loses he can still fight the fury, adameks, aerreolas etc I would only cash out for the biggest fish... but lose to a fury or haye etc and he may never get a klit shot

Deontay Wilder is obviously gaining alot of attention,,, by now everyone realizes his power is legit, and scary,, But he is still raw, and cant seem to get any rounds under his belt,,, 29 fights and never been past 4..... I think Wilder needs to get some rounds in before challenging any ranked heavy,,,, there was talk about wilder vs chisora but chisora has much more experience in like half the fights,, Before wilder steps up the competition, he needs to go at least 8 rounds a few times,, But he ko's every handpicked guy in under 4 everytime,,, Nobody seems to be able to take that power,,,, I think there is only one guy that wilder can fight and give him rounds,, That man is JAMES TONEY...... Toney may be fat and old, but he has never been stopped and will give wilder rounds,,,plus he wont pose that much of a threat to wilder, and even if wilder doesnt ko toney, deontay should win easily on points,,, I think wilder-toney is the next logical step for wilder,,, he ko's everyone vs the hall of famer thats never been stopped toney is shot to bits and was dropped by a sam peter jab. hes gone even more downhill since then. would just be another quickie for wilder. mariusz wach would be a guy who isn't dangerous but could give wilder some rounds. that guys chin is the size of a volkswagon

Chris Arreola. I'd also like to see him fight Tony Thompson but he might be tailor made for Wilder. I was going to say Chris Arreola but I think the point here is to find somebody to get him ready for fighters like Arreola.

Wilder needs to stay away from people with a pulse,,, the likes of adamek, chisora, fury, thompson, banks, are way too risky to put wilder in there..... I think he needs to fight mitchell after he gets ko's by aerrelo, a david price, maybe the guy who just lost to andy ruiz,, i forget his name.... If wilder looks good there,, then go for the bigger names.. but just putting him in with actual ranked guys, when wilder has never been past 4 would be career suicide at the worst and career russian roulette at the best.... The guy needs a decent scrape before just putting him in there with the ranked guys... How do we know he wont gas horrible after 4 and get ko'd....That would be the end of the hype train for him.... He needs to slowly work his way up

I don't know before Adamek I'd say Guinn but he looked like he wanted out against Adamek by the end! It's sink or swim time now. He's going to have to take Mitchell/Arreola I think. I'd say it'd be Arreola but I didn't see Arreola losing to Stiverne so who knows what the titmare will do.

Adamek's not a Southpaw. Oh wow, for a second I was thinking of the style of the African boxer who outpointed Chambers recently.

idk but i would love to see a andy ruiz bout with him good fight right there

Agreed. Adamek will give Wilder a difficult style, southpaw too, it would be interesting to see how Wilder would go about fighting Adamek. Adamek's not a Southpaw.

Adamek. Wilder has a serious power and size advantage but if anyones known for going rounds it's Adamek in the HW division. I think Wilder had fought too many bad fighters his progress is so stagnant because he is so determined to take guys out early that he has neglected every other aspect of his game. He will not get very far. Agreed. Adamek will give Wilder a difficult style, southpaw too, it would be interesting to see how Wilder would go about fighting Adamek.

Thompson, Chisora, Banks, Arreola, Stiverne would all be good step ups.
