    What about Otto Wallin?

    His close loss to Fury looks pretty good now. It’s a shame he’s tied up in a stay busy fight against Lucas Browne next month.
    Where you rank this guy? What does his future hold?

        Wallin might be the second best heavyweight in the world.

        I’m not convinced anyone else could keep it that close with Fury.

          Wallin is the dream opponent for any promoter of a top 10-15 fighter now. The cut made for a dramatic fight which will have boosted his profile enormously. He's easily marketable as "the guy who pushed Fury all the way in a brutal war".

          Easy sell, easy win, easy boost to a profile. Quite surprised he isn't lined up for Whyte, Miller, Parker or someone like that.

            Let's see his next fight against a top contender... Lucas Browne doesn't count...

              Fury rises to the occasion in the big fights but runs hot and cold otherwise. Could end up Wallin is a total bum. I always saw him as European level tbh....

                If Wallin wins his next fight, he should fight the undefeated winner of Dubois-Joyce.

                  Wallin only has 20 fights ,he fought Fury coming off a long lay off to with a win no real rounds gained ,he is top level fighter I actually should have him top 10 instead of Some others . If he’s as good as I initially told you guys he will be a Joshua future opponent, the two shared the ring together while AJ prepared for Martin back in 2016.

                  Of course it depends who they match him up with and what style he actually adapts to because everyone has different weaknesses ,it just so happened Fury is a good match up for him ,I like Wallin I think he would get by Wilder he’s a solid big unit at 6”6 or so ,speed and really good ring IQ .

                    He has absolutely no notable wins other than losing to Fury and making a good account of himself I suppose.
