    Considering Fury has stated he will fight this year I'd love if it was Hunter (would be a great signing for Top Rank considering free agent).

    Hunter claims he whooped Fury in the amateurs but was robbed (Fury stated its rubbish and he deserved to win).

    I thought Hunter was robbed a win against Povetkin and I scored 8- 4 to Hunter. The HW most deserving of a title shot at present.

    Fury Vs Browne LMAO imagine if they made that fight.

    Fury Vs Hunter would be a interesting fight, don't think Tyson will be up for it though.

    Kabayel or Rivas are decent opponents under the circumstances.
    Hunter is very credible.
    Ruiz Jr. is very credible on paper but the chances of him being ready in 8 weeks from now are slim (no pun intended).

    It's hard to take Charles Martin seriously.

    Browne or even Charr or anyone of that caliber would be disgraceful.

    A Wallin rematch is justifiable, I guess.

    Can't see that happening because despite the fact he's got his career back on the right track, he has extremely little credibility on UK shores after his performance against AJ.

    It will be neither of them

    One, Ortiz is one i think Fury will swerve and Ajagba is not going to be rushed in to anything
    Top Rank didnt sign him to feed him to Fury within 6 months
    Alot of people saying Kabayel and that makes total sense

    Wallin, Kabayel, Rivas are all likely. And all OK given it’s basically a tick over of sorts.

    Can't really complain if it's Kabayel.
    He's 20-0 and has a fairly convincing win over Chisora who apparently is a suitable (and PPV!) test for the very highly-regarded Usyk.

    Do we really want a good fighter to face him and risk him losing before the Joshua match?

    So the casual boxing fans are going to have to stump up PPV for their football teams, Joshua/Pulev, Usyk/Chisora, Fury/TBC and Whyte/Povetkin.

    Yes. He's the #1 heavyweight in the world. He should be facing a good fighterevery fight.
    Deontay Wilder is still a 'good' fighter and a very dangerous puncher and that's who we were expecting him to face in December.
    There's little point in him fighting unless there's some degree of risk of losing.

    I say so. Pulev is credible opponent considering wins over Chisora and Hughie.

    AJ vs Pulev
    Fury vs A credible opponent

    Winners fight each other next year, best vs best for a unification.

    Yes Tony Dosh PPV already pumped badly by a little fatty so it is not a battle of 2 undefeated fighters for all the belts.

    Fury should go for the best challenger out there.
