    Lots of people saying Fury is getting matched soft, but thinking about it I think this is very sensible matchmaking. He doesn't need the big names to improve and if he keeps winning the big names will come. This is how I would plan his career to HW title:
    July- Vinny Maddalone
    September- Audley Harrison
    November- Fres Oquendo
    January- Dominick Guinn
    April- Timur Ibragimov
    July- Alexander Dimitrenko
    September- Ruslan Chagaev
    January- Challenge Povetkin

    Could be sooner than that I think. I'm more intrigued to see who will go to war for the vacant WBC belt once Vitali retires. Could open the door for Haye if he beats Del Boy. But maybe fat Mick will try and swing a shot for Fury :think

    There's a strong chance he loses close to 50% of those fights though.

    I'd back him in the first five, although maybe not by stoppage. It's hard to stop solid B and C level guys.

    Unparalleled improvement is no guarantee. This may seem hard to comprehend but there actually exists levels in between World class and ****.

    My theory on Fury is that he's going to spend another three years fighting bums/British contenders/easy Euro fights to keep himself busy before picking which belt to go for- likely the WBC if Vitali retires (I doubt Vitali will retire this or next year).

    The lad is only 24, seems to be half decent when he actually trains and is very marketable here and in the States. No real need for him to rush in the next couple of years.

    Amazing how David Haye became heavyweight champion in just 2 fights at heavyweight.

    It took Haye 24 fights in total to become heavyweight champion, and 21 fights to become CW world champion.

    There's no way he'd fight that level that frequently. He'd get beaten for sure.
    I expect less frequency and a lower level of opponent to those you stated.

    Open the door to what ? The WBC don't recognize the Luxembourg Commission so it's a non starter

    Haye would be licensed by the BBBofC I think.

    It's mainly Chisora they have issues with

    Fury will lose when he comes up against another unbeaten super heavyweight. He won't have the size advantages, that he's had. That's got him this far. Guys like Wach, Price, Wilder, Helenius, and Ustinov are guys that would take him out. He's probably better off fighting the likes of the Maddalone's and Rogan's.
