Simple answer ... "Czar" Glazkov.So i was thinking Wilder really got screwed by the witch duva and i was looking for potential opponents and they just are not there. im sure he will be bashed by the anti haymon clan no matter who he picks but the reality is he dont have any choices everyone who makes sense is already scheduled to fight. The only name i could come up with was someone like pulev.
Has anyone else heard anything? I mean hes obviously trying to make a real legit fight its just not working out for him
IBF rankings (according to *********, as of 12/5/15):
1. Vyacheslav Glazkov
2. NOT RATED
3. Tyson Fury
4. Charles Martin {HAYMON}
5. Erkan Teper
6. Steve Cunningham {HAYMON}
7. Artur Szpilka {HAYMON}
8. Lucas Browne
9. Anthony Joshua {HAYMON-adjace}
10. Carlos Takam
11. Andy Ruiz
12. Bermane Stiverne {HAYMON-adjace}
13. Mariusz Wach
14. Kubrat Pulev
15. Andrey Fedosov
Remove Fury from the list, while also thinking of the heavyweight fights already lined up, and you're looking at Duva having to wade through 3-5 Al Haymon fighters for a vacant IBF belt.
With Glazkov having not fought since August, extended from just the purse bid date, he could logically be out of the ring till March 2016.
Hennessey/Warren could slow-walk the purse bid, vacate the IBF belt at the last moment, and leave Duva to wallow in trying to now fill the vacant IBF title fight (which he could then also slow-walk, in retribution for Duva walking out on the Wilder fight), leaving Glazkov in the lurch until at least the summer.
Sullivan Barrera, Duva's only other viable fighter beyond Kovalev and Glazkov, is only getting his shot at the mandatory eliminator because Beterbiev couldn't get a single fighter in the top 10 willing to fight him, a process that went so long that he had the space to go and pick up an injury.
The intelligent choice for Duva, as far as I can tell, would be to make the Wilder fight.Comment

he was in talks with Fujimoto before the Duhaupas fight was signed. I think Fujimoto pulled out of talks at the last second. So don't count him out... It wouldn't surprise me if it's "bronco" billy wright...Comment
