    I’ll fight anybody anywhere anytime.

    except AJ at Wembley.

    Same, they’ve all had their place in the sport, been entertaining (especially usyk) but I wish they would just retire now and let the young contenders fight between themselves

    Fury would sooner fight usyk as it’s a familiar situation-he knows what it’s like to lose to him and mentally can obviously deal with it having been there, twice! I’m not sure he could deal with it if he fought Joshua and got knocked cold

    Yeah but at least Hrgovic is a Top 5 guy and a title holder.

    Top 5 is pretty meaningless right now, there's so very little quality in the division...

    And that's if he even is.

    Usyk, Fury and Joshua were all so far beyond him that even all 3 being declined doesn't necessarily mean they're not even now.

    Kabayel is looking like he's probably comfortably beyond, though still has plenty to prove.

    Parker and Dubois are above him.

    Wardley might be, though it's not clear.


    Title holder he may be, but he's a gatekeeper in anything other than an extremely thin and inactive division - he's very lucky to have gotten a soft chance at a belt against an unproven prospect.

    Most clear UD of the decade was Shakur v Teo.

    Hes easily beat Fury twice, why would he bother. I’m sure they asked him and
    he said “lol”

    Remember when fatty got DVD'd around the ring by a rabbit.

    Now he's pissing himself trying to sabotage the fight cus he knows AJ will flat line him.

    Zero options fatty, nowhere to turn without this fight

    Parker vs Wilder was another.

    Usyk against Hrgovic would be as clear as those - levels upon levels, IMHO.

    If Fury were to win, what does it change? He beats a 40 year old Usyk (who already beat him twice) who doesn't have a belt.
