Personally, I'd rank it in this order: Vitali (two ATG in what I think would be a brutal match for high stakes) Wilder (assuming he beats Sasha, two undefeated giants, one bigger and crafty, one harder hitting and faster) Joshua (assuming he continues his progression, the Undisputed champ against the Next big thing) Povetkin (assuming he beats Wilder, clear division #2 with many more total quality wins against the champ, giant vs normal sized big) Wlad (Just having trouble seeing a much different result) Someone else (Parker, Jennings, Takam, Pulev all come to mind) Glazkov (future recipient of gift belt by fraudulent IBF)
Well I am as big of a Fury fan as anyone, but he's not exactly there yet. In answer to the question I would say the Wilder fight would be pretty epic, as well as the build up.
Wlad, Povetkin, Vitali, Wilder. In that order. Vitali/Fury might be interesting if Vitali hasn't lost a step in his 3 years out of the ring. He's kept himself in shape, and has been training despite his mayoral obligations. If Wlad loses to Fury again think it's very possible we'll see Vitali come out of retirement and try to even the score. He'll at least 45 by the time they time they fight..... Povetkin would be interesting because he brings a combination of power, skill and forward pressure of which the likes that Fury has never seen before. Closest he's been in with is Chisora, who obviously lacks the power and skill of Sasha. Wilder obviously because it's a unification.
Fair enough, I was just anticipated what he would be if he ever got around to a Vitali fight. I think he'd need to beat Wlad again and probably beat Wilder/Povetkin before such a fight would occur. But yes, agreed he's not there yet.
Also, I should say, not who do you think deserves it most. Obviously would be Wlad. But who do you think would make the most interesting and or entertaining fight.
Its difficult now for Wlad to fix a perfect punch on Fury face, but he can do it. Because he have skills but his confidence had gone some where. So he need to regain it.
