    What a wasted career. Its a shame on boxing that good fighters don't get opportunities.

      Otto's career is been wasted through inactivity. There are 3 good matvchups he should try and get his team to seal. 1. The McKean fight as they both have a high ranking 2. Helenious they could call the clash of the Vikings and to seal a top ranking he could fight against Hughie Fury if he beats a Fury what headline for a Tyson rematch.

      Just some food for thought.

        Wallin will hardly fight anymore imo. He has the wrong people behind him.

          A couple of us here have said Salita has done little for his career in recent years. After beating Kauffman & Breazeale he was looking like he was going to be a legit contender but Salita couldn’t secure anymore big fights for him. He needs to sign with a promoter who has a tv deal in US or Europe. The Kean fight would have been decent & I’d expect him to win that fight as Kean has been protected since getting pasted by Dillon Carman. He can’t waste anymore time. Salita got Miller & Franklin fights but after the Breazeale fight he did little for Wallin.

            He should have a win over Fury, let's face it, if it was the other way around it would have been stopped 100%.

            But in reality hes a basic southpaw. If you beat him, it was just Wallin, he sucks. There's no upside fighting him.

            He needs to somehow get a fight that shows he he's more than just that nobody who almost stopped Fury.

              Challenge for these smaller promoters to get the right fights unless they give up piece of the fighter.

                He got a opportunity against Fury and decided to be on Twitter calling out guys and living off postponement of fights more then having his team get him relevant fights , the fact that Franklin managed by the same guy has fought Joshua and Whyte and is proof good fighters get opportunities but Wallin can’t expect to live off of Twitter forever it’s up to the fighter to go after fights they don’t just come to you .

                Simon McKean is a good fight but he’s not even a top 20 , Wallin can’t keep asking for title shots with wins over guys like this .

                  Good. Hopefully he will fight someone with a pulse. Wallin’s claim to fame is losing to one-eyed Fury after getting a lucky cut. It isn’t a great resume and beating the waning memory of Breazeale is not a good win either. My prediction is Wallin will lose when he steps up bcs he doesn’t have any punching power. Seems content doing hard sparring instead of trying to do damage in fights.

                  I think him vs Helenius would be good at this point as both are facing the last mile of their careers. Wallin should win and then challenge a young KO artist like Arselingbek to see if he can avoid getting chinned by a guy with power punches. He went full rounds with Granat who was destroyed by Dimitrenko in one round so he really needs to find a way to put some pepper on his punches.

                    What fight was you watching lol and the cut wasn't lucky he was schooling outboxing has decent power and was winning the fight against Fury in my book plus Breazeale is the worst heavyweight I ever seen but if they think they he is not a high risk then why not place him in there with guys like Franklin Sanchez Ruiz he has options I believe he will be champion if they can keep on track and also put him in there with some better opp because his team pissed his career away and I do agree with you on the Helenius fight it would be good
