    Do you think if it happens that it would be at Wembley like Fury seems to indicate that he wants?

    It's highly likely.

    Imo it'll tarnish Usyks legacy beating beat dogs for the rest of his career, especially if he rematches Chisora.

    I was thinking we don't know if he is 2nd best. He may well be but I agree that it is unknown

    I read something where someone wrote (and i dont necessarily agree) something like the best in the uk and usyk being Usyk, Joshua, Dubois and Fury and that Usyk had fought, Joshua, Dubois and Fury. Joshua had fought Dubois and Usyk. Dubois had fought Joshua and Usyk. But Fury had only fought Usyk.
    Something like that
    Fury may be the next best after Usyk but it I think is a fans guess in saying that.
    If you let all the other contenders battle it out and then pick off the winner at the right time, is that the same as having to go through 3/4 tough fights in a row to get there, if you know what I mean?

    Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to think you were rating Fury beating Chisora the third time based on other results?

    Didn't the idea of facing ruiz fall through a few years ago? Something about money?

    We don’t know if he’s the clear second best when he hasn’t beaten anyone of note in the last decade except wilder

    The only fight I want to see Fury in is Joshua. Nobody else interests me.

    Ok.

    Who would you favor in a fight -- the Fury of the second Usyk fight, or Dubois last Saturday?

    If it's a tune-up then I doubt it'll be a 'top 10' fighter, maybe someone like Miller would serve his interests.

    I could see a way that ddd could bowl over the top of fury.
