    There’s no need for a rematch.

    Wilder should fight Ruiz or Hunter.

    Fury should wait for AJ.

    Thoughts?

    Wilder : feast on three fallguys, set up a big fight with Ruiz, AJ or Usyk for late next year.

    Fury : Go straight at AJ and Usyk, right now. Right now right now.

    Wilder should build the resume, change trainers and still go for the titles still. He should fight the likes of Parker, Whyte, Kownacki and hunter.

    Fury should definitely look for unification and look to cement his position as a ATG

    Fury has plenty of options but Wilder is in a tough spot. Shouldn't go for the rematch but it's too late for him to improve his skills.

    Fury obviously looks to unify all the belts, I think he beats Joshua, have always thought this and last night only confirmed my initially take on it. Fury if anything looks like he's only beginning to peak. But he has to keep it long vs Joshua, he isn't going to beat Joshua on the inside, Joshua is pretty adept up close unlike Wilder.

    Wilder's future is more a mystery. I doubt they take the rematch, he was getting beat up in there, Fury has his number and he won't find a way to beat Fury any time soon if ever.

    He needs to rebuild, get a decent trainer or at least start listening to Breland and get rid of the cheerleader Deas. But will he be given time to rebuild? Will Haymon see him still as a commodity without a title? Haymon might order the rematch just to cash in, if he does that I think it shows he's done with Wilder. But if he matches him up with some of his other heavies to build him back up, then it suggests he still has some vested interest in Wilder.

    I think Ruiz should be sooner rather than later. Perhaps go for Kownacki then Ruiz then the Fury Joshua winner if possible. Fury already has one foot out the door with rumours he's planning to take out Stipe too.

    If I was Fury I would avoid Ruiz and only go for AJ and Usyk.


    *soft fight building up and into an Usyk fight
    *Usyk fight.
    *soft fight building up and into an AJ fight
    * AJ fight

    those 4 fights would keep him plenty busy and enough would change by the end of them that they could then asses the landscape and go from there, but that would be my plan if I was team Fury.

    I meant for Wilder, he should beat Kownacki and Ruiz if he wants to be a real threat in this division. It would also fill out his resume with solid names - a bit more anyway.

    Fury may as well go straight after Joshua if he can get that fight. Usyk's going to be dwarfed by Fury so a less Important fight as we're still yet to really see him at heavyweight where he keeps getting injured. It'd also prob be a snoozer.

    Wilder should absolutely try and jump the queue for an AJ match up. I'm sure that would still do huge business in the UK and AJ is more likely to take that match up after last night.

    Hard to see Wilder having the passion to get back to working his way through contenders for a mandatory shot. It's Fury or Joshua next and Joshua makes more $$.

    He should fight Ruiz if he beats Ortiz, Hunter can`t punch like Fury and would be destroyed.

    Usyk would land far more shots on Fury than WEilder did and his high guard would block a lot of Fury`s shots, plus he`s a southpaw.
