Step 1: Medal at the Olympics
Continue the momentum from the Olympics with big name fights, yet still soft touches
Fight 1: Maurice Clarrett - Former Ohio State running back who is just getting out of jail. No boxing expirience but and easy fight for a man with an extensive am career. ESPN will be all over it.
Fight 2: Marcus Vick - Michael Vick's convict brother. Similar situation to Clarrett.
Fight 3: Tom Zbikowski - Another football player. This one is 1-0 and currently in the NFL. Another fight that will attract media attention.
Fight 4: Ken Shamrock - A former UFC champion with no boxing skills.
Fight 5: Butterbean - The king of 4 rounders
Fight 6: Kimbo Slice - A big name and an EASY fight.
Fight 7: Bruce Seldon - A former champ who is way over the hill
Fight 8: Roy Jones Jr - Roy will be even older by now. A rising prospect who is much bigger could beat him.
Fight 9: Audley Harrison - A-Force will be touching 40 and unmotivated. A household name in the UK and will increase international name racognition.
Fight 10: Andrew Golota - A name in the US and Poland. Will probably dq himself
Fight 11: Mike Tyson - IRON MIKE! A huge name even still, and at this point most can beat him. He'd be mid 40's by fight time
Then just move on to a top 20 contender. Then top 15. Then top 10. Then top 5. Then title shot.
Think about it. The guy would be a household name in the US by fight 8 or 9. Deontay Wilder should follow this path.
