    Not possible, takam is not in the wbc Top 15 so won’t happen

    I'm sure dropping Kabayel out of the #15 spot and having Takam placed there would be rather simple for Arum. Takam deserves the ranking more than Kabayel does, regardless. And he won a few months ago.

    I dont wanna see AJ leftovers, plus I can't see Fury coming out agressive in this fight.

    I think I prefer Kabayel, the 0 will go and looks better than the frenchman on the resume for that reason.

    Kabayel please. Takam's an old juicehead with no chance at causing an upset.

    Kabayel at least is a somewhat unknown quantity.

    This would be nothing more than an over paid and televise sparring session. Takam would put in the work without much danger to Fury. Afterward Fury works the mic on AJ and then he gets to sing.

    Hopefully undercard is worth tuning into if he is fighting Takam.

    How exactly is Takam a better option? He looked good in most of his outings but has lost every notable fight he has ever had (including to the fighter that is Kabayel's best win). Agit has better wins and would win head to head at the moment.

    Takam is a top 15 or 20 fighter. Kabayel is awful.

    And Agit would not win head to head. Agit's decision over Chisora was a dull sleepwalk that Chisora treated like a spar, and the judges bit him. Takam went to war with Chisora and was beating Chisora up until he got caught.

    Takam puts up a fight, Kabayel is awful. (Have I said that yet?) (LOL)

    Name a fight of Kabayel's to show to someone who didn't follow boxing who you wanted to impress? Any impressive Kabayel fight.

    Because, even in losses, there are a quite a few Takam fights I could name (and I'm no Takam cheerleader, by any means).

    They are both bad options compared to what we were going to get. But Takam is better.

    What's unknown about him? He's been around for a decade. Anyone can do a search for his dull fights. They are all pretty unimpressive.

    When I hear "unknown" it sounds like someone you trick unsuspecting people into watching and they can build him up into something he's not.

    At least Takam, win or lose, has been involved in entertaining fights.

    He did what he needed to do to beat the top level gatekeeper in Chisora. It wasn't exciting but a win is a win, top level fighters don't get KO'd by Chisora. One is more deserving than the other and most on here would agree with me

    I didn't say Takam was top level. I said he's top 15 to 20. I don't think Agit is even that.

    He is not good. Nobody even offers visual proof to sway me. Because there is none. Yes, he got a decision over Chisora in an practically unwatchably dull bout.

    I'd rather watch Chisora-Takam on a loop for 24 hours than ever watch the Kayabel-Chisora fight again.

    Neither is going to beat Fury. So I'd rather watch the entertaining fighter lose instead of the dull one lose. I'm a fan of exciting fights.

    Takam looked terrible against his last 2 opponents - Fury needs to take on a decent level guy.
