Who should Fury's first opponent back be?

Needs to start low and work his way up. He's at risk of being caught cold if he doesn't. I wouldn't even risk Rubber Jaw McGraw (Price) first.

 

his first fight will be against the scales !

 

I understand your point but none of them were 30 stone or going on drug fuelled benders (as far as I know).

I don’t think Tyson’s situation is comparable.

 

This is true...I just meant that this is a fitness issue, and his skill and timing will still be there, but you’re right, i’m probably just getting a bit giddy.

 

David Price

 

My biggest hope for Tyson's comeback is that he's taken a leaf out of Billy Joe's book, and dedicates his life to the sport for a few years. Billy is his mate and was equally unmotivated/undisciplined, but he's turned it around and look at the results. Imagine if Tyson done the same!

 

Mark De Mori

 

Haye. They're both skint and the fight would make them both millions. Winnable for Fury too.

 

When Fury is back down to 270 he'll be kicking ass in the gym and won't choose a complete stiff feven for his return because getting the rounds in won't be worth anything. He will want AJ at the end of 2018. No messing around.

 

Someone easy with zero skills who will fold once you hit him.
Someone like Wilder.

 

He needs to fight a tough journeyman that will make him work but has got no chance of winning and that way he gets the rounds in then why not the European champion and that should be enough to get the rust off then fight for a world title but once you see the old fury back hearn and aj will not want any part

 

Fury will NEVER give Haye the time of day again.
Tyson is a true fighting man..put him in with anyone, he beats them. The only fighters that might give him a bit of trouble in my opinion are Joshua and Wilder.

 

Also, in terms of skillset - Fury and Ray Leonard are miles apart. One is probably top 10 ATG. The other has a good win vs Klitchko but never followed it up so no one is quite sire how good he is.

Also, in HW boxing one punch can end a fight. Im happy for a couple of easy fights, but not too many. Fury sometimes fights to his level so after he shakes off the rust hopefully he can get a half decent name on his resume.

 

He should start of at a very low level for his first fight to just get rid of some of the ring rust. Maybe even have 2 fights within quick succession to blow away the cobwebs. Maybe a couple of fighters inside the top 100, a Mark De Mori type of fighter.

Then maybe fight Price, or Adamek or Washington. They should all be winnable fights even for an out of shape Fury.

Then and only then should they consider the Joshua fight.
