I'd guess Pianeta. Ex Klitschko opponent and 6'5.

 

nb fight. tony is tough, and awkward. good name to have on your resume.

 

No point in fighting someone 5 places below you in the rankings.

I hate it when that happens!

 

Pianeta is a definite possibility and would be of little risk.

 

A. He's a southpaw.

B. He might KO Fury.

My guess is Hammer.

 

If it is David Price it would sell out the O2.

 

MC or Christian?

 

MC would be the tougher opponent.

 

Its going to be someone ranked in the EBU and with a recognisable name.

The best option I can see is Artur Szpilka. He's just come off a win over Adamek.

Maybe Denis Boytsov. They have asked 4 different fighters.

 

Good shout on both fronts.

 

The winner of Ruiz v Liakhovich would be easy enough? But he really needs to fight Pulev or Ustinov both of which he has been ducking.

 

Spot on

You cannot expect to go and defeat Wlad after a win against Plodding Journeyman Chisora followed by a can.

Pulev or Povetkin for me.

 

Probably end up with John McDermott for the trilogy
