Doug Fisher says Oscar de la Hoya told him that Deontay Wilder's next opponent will likely be Hasim Rahman or Michael Grant.

Its a good step up for Wilder if he fights either. both are good BAD or a shobox semi main event fightss.

Grant would be okay, but Rahman is shot to pieces and shouldn't go in with a big puncher like Deontay.

Both are really finished as viable HWT's but the point here is to get Wilder another KO. It feels like they are long term setting up a Vitali fight with the angle being "2 best KO %'s in history"

Cool, maybe he can fight Audley Harrison next...smh what a joke...

I think Vitali is retiring here real soon. If he does fight again, I think he will take on Haye, then retire.

Hasim Rahman is shot to pieces, he shouldn't be fighting

Deontay is a huge joke and he will get knocked out when he faces someone with decent skill and power, i dont rate the guy what so ever

LOL. I knew they were going to do this ****!!!

Called this **** right after Rahman looked like **** in his last fight.

He'll probably be a Deontay Wilder opponent down the road.

SMH. And the sad thing about it is that this will be one of the toughest opponents he has faced so far.

Agree with your post, but it just feels like deontays KO% is gonna be his claim to fame. IMO he really isn't much right now.

Deontay Wilder's next opponent may be Hasim Rahman
