    Not likely to ever happen, but wouldn’t it be great to see the best British heavyweights fight it out in a round robin tournament for the British title - Dubois, Gorman, Allen, Joyce, Price, H Fury, Chisora, Whyte ... I might even pay for that one. For the record, I’d put my money on Joyce.

    Whyte is one top of HWs already beyond British title level. Switch him for T.Fury whose next opponent is basically area level.

    Dubois vs Gorman - Dubois
    Price vs Allen - Allen
    H. Fury v Chisora - Chisora
    T. Fury vs Joyce - Joyce

    Dubois vs Allen - Dubois
    Joyce vs Chisora - Joyce

    Joyce vs Dubois - Tough call. I am undecided.

    Oh ... Tyson Fury? He’s well above British level - Whyte, he still needs a title to prove his worth ... struggled against Chisora & likely to be tested against Dubois and Joyce.

    Can't see Joyce laying a glove on Fury to be honest

    Not sure if this current version of Fury is. Either Fury or his management dont have faith in his ability, look at his opponents; Seferi,Pianetta, Wilder and Schwarz.

    Dubois and Joyce would be a test for Fury just as much as they would for Whyte if not more.

    If Cunningham, Flirtha, Pjakic, Wilder and Mcdermott can, why cant Joyce?

    Do you work for matchroom or something? Fair enough if you don't like Fury but don't try and act like Fury isn't above British level not even you believe that deep down and stop trying to act like Wilder is no good either.

    Haha, of course. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you say anything remotely positive about Tyson Fury. Why do you dislike him so much?

    I don’t particularly like Joshua, but he’s obviously very good - and so is Fury. Why can’t you be objective?

    Nothing about disliking Fury. I have been very positive about his fights with Wlad and the second Chisora fight, which are excellent performances by him.

    I just dont agree with this perception that Fury will dance round the ring without getting hit against anyone. We have seen this not to be true in in fights against Cunningham, Flirtha, Chisora 1, Pjakic, Mcdermott and Wilder. Nor do i agree with main stream media narrative that Fury and Wilder would beat anyone other AJ with relative ease ( there are several I would favour against them i.e. styles make fights).

    Fury team's of matchmaking in the last 4 fights suggests they dont have faith in him. You could say that about Wilders management but thats for his entire career.

    This would be great. Whyte is above that though.

    Whyte would wipe the floor with all the above including Tyson Fury (who is probably next best).
    Joyce is so over rated. He is slow cumberson and as soon as he fights someone half decent then he will get knocked out.

    Why are you talking about fights from that long ago? Fury is clearly a different fighter than he was back then. The Cunningham fight was a massive turning point.

    The same Dillian Whyte that went life and death with Chisora twice? Fury already made Chisora quit years ago and a similar result would happen if Fury fought Whyte imo.
