    Kabayel is a quality fight, and arguably his third best opponent...not lower than #5.

    Takam...even I won't be watching.

    Takam couldn't even drop Fabio Maldonado from MMA.

    I don't care if he fights Cunningham again, as long as we get Fury/Joshua next summer.

    Well, people said Chisora was "shot" or "sleepwalked" or "lethargic" when Fury beat him too.
    So it's no wonder they make even more excuses for him losing to Kabayel, and give Kabayel no credit whatsoever.

    Takam is 39 years old and was sparked by Chisora . "Beating him until he got caught" doesn't cut it.
    Kabayel is 28 years old, undefeated and beat Chisora. Obviously he deserves to be ranked above Takam.

    Unless they do a 10 rounder.
    But I doubt Bob would want to give up the juicy opportunity to promote this as a championship fight.

    As a Tyson Fury fan, the last thing I'd like to see is him face Carlos Takam. He was always overrated and is now past it. Carlos Takam has been one of those boxers who has got into some big fights because he looks the part but is a safe bet to beat, without looking absolutely hopeless.

    What's his best win? 42 or 43 year old Tony Thompson?

    A 40 year old with 5 losses on his record, with no standout wins on his record, would be an absolute joke of a bout. Agit Kabayel, I reckon, is pretty useless himself. He will be found out soon enough.

    I'd much rather see him in with an opponent who is genuinely coming to win like a Michael Hunter. I wouldn't give him more than a 5% chance of winning but he seems ambitious enough. No way would he have the tank to go 12 with Tyson Fury, though.

    Kabayel is bad and dull. Bad and exciting is better than bad and dull. Two bad choices.

    Picking Kabayel because as many people don't "know" he is bad doesn't make him a better choice. Still a bad choice.

    Wouldn't mind either guy, both very good fights to me.

    As a Tyson Fury fan, the last person in the top 15 I want to see him fight is Kabayel. He is terrible.

    The excuse that "he's unknown so people don't know how bad he is so he's a better choice", to me, is hysterical.

    All I hear from people every day is the "triangle theory" in boxing doesn't work.

    But, when it comes to Kabayel, that's all people can use to support him. (LOL)

    If Kabayel and Takam signed to fight, most of you would be picking Takam to win.

    They can't even post a video of Kayabayel-Chisora to hype people up and promote Fury-Kabayel, because it was an awful performance from both.

    Kabayel is terrible. This might be the first promotion where NO HIGHLIGHTS from the challenger are included in the promos.

    He should just rematch Wallin. It would be more interesting than Kabayel or Takam.

    Takam is ahead of Kabayel on some rating lists. It wouldn't be outrageous.
    And Fury might take him lightly enough to make it look like a fight for a while.
    He should avoid cuts though.

    I don't even know why Takam has been mentioned

    Abayel is actually better.

    Only problem with Abayel is he is not a known name

    im 99% sure Fury is fighting Abayel
