1) Usyk 2) Gassiev 3) Breidis 4) Hrgovic 5) Dorticos When they all move up, Hrgovic already is a heavy I know
Wilder Usyk Joshua Hrgovic Whyte Wilder simply because he has already proven he can hurt Fury and was only a few seconds away from getting the KO win. Usyk I feel has a similarly high ring IQ to Fury and would likely have a far higher work rate. He has some serious physical disadvantages to overcome but, he didn't become Undisputed Cruiserweight champion for no reason. Although Joshua now sucks arse because he has a loss, he could still cause Fury problems if he was to implement the jab a lot more and is a lethal finisher for the most part when he has an opponent hurt, plus he would be trying to hit Fury with combinations as opposed to single shots. A few years from now, Hrgovic will either have realised his obvious potential or come unstuck on his way up. Either way, a man of his obvious physical attributes, strength, power and pedigree is going to cause any heavyweight currently active more than a few problems. And lastly Dillian Whyte. A lot of people feel that Fury does to Whyte what he did to Chisora. I disagree as the Chisora who faced Whyte was about as motivated and well prepared as he's ever been. The needle and hate between Whyte and Chisora was real and hatred is a mightily strong motivator. I just think that Whyte's somewhat unconventional and disjointed style would be a little harder for Fury to gauge and there's always Whytes left hook to consider. If that left hook can drop Parker hard and put Chisora to sleep, it can certainly put Fury on the seat of his pants. On current form I favour Fury over all the guys mentioned to one degree or another but, four of the five mentioned have fight ending power and that's very often all it takes. I reckon Fury will take a loss off one of them before he's through.
fury has avoided every challenge unless a title is on the line. he has fought a bunch of bums, little guys, guys with no power, and old, shot guys.
1. Wilder. Odd choice given how many rounds he won in their last fight. But, someone who can put you down like that in any round... its simply always going to be dangerous. I think if Wilder comes in a little heavier, and decides to unleash a bit more in the rematch... Wilders right when he says Fury has to be perfect for 36 minutes to win. Do I think Fury will be perfect in the rematch? Idk. 2. AJ. Another choice that will get scoffed at. I dont care lol. Fury is not Ruiz. The Ruiz fight has very little bearing on how this matchup would go. I think AJs size and explosiveness combined with his solid technique, without having to worry as much about what Fury is dishing back at him, means he'd be able to be a bit more comfortable in there and might allow him to get in a groove. AJs offense should not be underestimated. 3. Ruiz. Ruizs height and reach is a big disadvantage in this matchup, but still, his combination of pressure, speed and combination punching is unlike anything thats been seen in the division for a couple years... and if Ruiz lets his hands go, and is... in 'shape' to be as active as he can be, I think its bound to give Fury some interesting moments. ... Those are really the only 3 I see giving a fit, clean and motivated Fury any issues. Obviously, Id favor him to beat all 3. I think he can cruise to a points win against everyone else. Including Usyk.
Callum Smith??! A super middleweight? This is crazy. Smith gets starched in highlight reel fashion. There are weight classes for a reason. Smith is not Roy Jones or James Toney and Fury is not John Riuz.
