Absolutely, and I hope Fury is Wilder's next fight. But Szpilkva is the only top 15 WBC guy associated with Al Haymon. Wilder-Szpilkva would sell very well in Chicago or Poland among other places.

yep he will fight szpilka or if its an american maybe tarver

but szpilka is no mug, he has matured abit now, was very gung-ho, when fighting mollo, minto jennings
but was very very disciplined when fighting adamek and that is how he will have to fight vs wilder.

exciting thing is with wilder anything can happen vs a top 20 guy, with wladimir we know he will win

I really can't believe Povetkin is winning this thing. Looks like wishful thinking.
Why? Povetkin has only lost to wlad has by far the best record and has looked the best fighter ,
Wlad beat Povetkin easier than he beat Wach. And Povetkin was losing after the first 8 rounds agaist Takam. Aside of great KO he didn't impress me at all in that fight.[/quote]

That's not true; Povetkin had some moments and Wlad felt threatened enough to hug Povetkin every 10 seconds, whereas he easily outboxed Wach from the distance all night.
