    • Fury as a "big man" needs to fight contenders - Dubois and Usyk are out, Zhang is out, Wilder is out, Ruiz is out
    • Who is left - AJ, Hrgovic, Sanchez and Bakole (there is Ortiz but he retired)
      • AJ fight is the best that fans could get - but if it aint happened by now, it wont happen (and Wilder AJ fight is better)
      • Sanchez, Bakole and Hrgovic are left
      • All would fight Fury and would even take 90/10 split
    • Fury called everyone out, except Hrgovic, Sanchez is kinda inactive, and Bakole (the ducker) is pissing on Whyte
    • I mean it is a fight that can be made next month
    • BIG DOWNSIDE - nobody would watch Balkan guy, BUT BETTER THAN DEMPSEY MCKEAN
    What are you thoughts?

    I would like to see that fight. But in the main i'm just going to wait for the fight announcement. This is all bonkers.

    Fury has enough in his plate, Ruiz, Big Makhmudov, Hrgovic, Sanchez, Bakole, Ortiz, Dubois, Hunter are all credible oponents and top 15 world HW.

    There is no way he cant secure one of these names for the summer.

    McKean is a complete mismatch, he is not even world top 20.

    Big Mak, Sanchez, Hrgovic, Bakole are my prefered choices.

    McKean is less of a risk than Hrgovic and easy money for Fury...

    McKean while not a great opponent, serves 2 purposes.

    1. International fight in Australia.
    2. McKean is a southpaw. Seems like part of the reason he's being considered is a tune-up/prep for an Usyk fight.

    I mean, the way everyone shits on Hrgovic, he might be easy win for Fury, he just need to take the fight :)

    Hrgovic is legitimately dangerous for Fury. Sure, one would have to favour him to get the job done if he's anywhere near his best, but that's a big Q and also we don't really know how good Hrgovic is. That risk is why no one notable will fight him (except Zhang, who is also a warrior) as the risk reward ratio is not good.
