    How do you see these fighters schedules unfolding in '15?

    Wlad
    #1-Jennings-W KO9
    #2-Glazkov-W KO2
    #3-Huck-W TKO6

    Without Fury or Wilder, Wlad fights the next best undefeated guy. Glazkov is that man if he beats USS convincingly. Huck would be a big Euro fight if Wlad wants a third fight.

    Wilder
    #1-Already beat Stiverne
    #2-Tarver-W KO6

    Don't see Wilder fighting more than once more due to his injury but I'm sure his team wants to get him in with somebody he can KO and has a name. If he's gonna be built up into this American destroyer, he needs a big KO next; he can't be going 12 rounds with a sturdy opponent or somebody risky like Fury at this point. Tarver seems like a very good choice.

    Fury

    #1-Hammer W TKO10
    #2-Chagaev W PTS
    #3-Price W TKO 11

    The Povetkin route. Make noise, became a mandatory, then take the path of least resistance to a 'title' in Chagaev. Win that and market yourself as a World Champ and stage a huge domestic title fight against Price if he can keep from getting knocked out in 2015. Big fight, lower risk and big $$$.

    In conclusion, I very much doubt we will see any of them fight each other. Risk/Reward factors seem to dictate Fury & Wilder stay away from Wlad and each other. Let's face it, time is on their side so why rush into a Wlad fight. Everybody knows he isn't going anywhere til he gets the last belt. Hope I'm dead wrong about everything lol :oops:

    Makes sense though, no? Win a 'title"...market yourself as a champ and fight Price. They have history and I'm sure it could be built into something if Price manages to look decent. Hell, I would do it if I stood to gain financially from Fury. Dude would get poleaxed by Wlad's first hook lol...Fury is marketable if nothing else. Maximize your $$$...

    I am betting we get Wlad vs Fury this summer on HBO. Unless Fury somehow gets the Wilder fight instead which is not out of the question. If Fury fights Wilder instead he is ducking Wlad as he is the Mandatory.

    the will mysteriously not fight each other, instead facing a pack of bums dressed up as no1 challengers.


    this is wht they do, if you've not noticed yet then you never will.
