    Just a hypothetical. We all want to see Fury-Joshua. And I know that Fury is locked into another Wilder fight. So, let's say that Fury could get out of Wilder if he wanted to, and Joshua was not available. Would you voluntarily rather watch another Wilder bout, or would you like to see Fury move on to his mandatory.

    No mystery for me: Whyte all the way. To me, Wilder is a completed thought. There was a dodgy draw to make it fun, and a furious (see what I did, there) destruction to punctuate the series. Besides that, Whyte has a better record by a country mild, and I think Fury would win a very good fight.

    Let's hear it.

    The Whyte fight because the man has been treated like he didn't earn his spot to fight for the title. Can't step aside forever just because Wilder says so. If Wilder was in Whyte's shoes it would be a million conspiracies on why Whyte is ducking him for the title shot. Fury won the fight so a third fight would only cement his fundamental problems which are boxing fundamentals.
    They need to hurry before Vince McMahon ****s us all and has Fury at Wrestle Mania and out of boxing completely.

    Absolutely! A 3rd Wilder fight does nothing for the sport, that chapter is over. Deontay gets another fat payday and disappears. I will still watch of course, but that is because I am a degenerate.

    It would go a long way for Fury if he beats Whyte, and then goes on to beat AJ x2. He would have most of his belt obligations out of the way, and could then fight his WBO mandatory Usyk.

    I believe it is OVER 1000 days as Number one with the WBC for Whyte.

    I don't care about what fight is better, what fight is more exciting, just out of principle Whyte should get his shot.

    Fury needs another fight with Wilder and so does AJ with Ruiz that's the only fights that need to happen before they go fight someone else .

    If I was in charge... Id make the Whyte fight. Because he's owed it, imo.

    Which one Id genuinely want to see more though, is Wilder 3. Whyte doesnt do much for me.

    Whyte.

    But I'd be happy to see Wilder beaten and out of the belt picture until he forces his way back in contention by beating top opposition.

    There is no point in wilder 3 but he is obligated to do so.
    Same with Joshua vs Pulev.
    It should be something like this:
    - wilder vs Fury 3 / Joshua vs Pulev
    - Fury vs Joshua x 2
    - Whyte gets shot at undisputed champ
    - Usyk gets shot after that

    Assuming it all goes diwn with nobody losing.
    Or another option is:
    Fury fights wilder, Whyte then Joshua x2
    Joshua fights Pulev,Usyk, Fury x 2.

    To me that all should be covered from late 2020- early 2022.

    I have no desire to see Fury beat Wilder again. Let's be completely honest, he won 17 out of 19 rounds. It's clear who the dominant party in this matchup is.

    I would rather see the Whyte, Pulav and Usyk fights, i only because those dunder-heads in the WBC/O/IBF will try to rob us of an undisputed champion.

    At least the WBA isn't being stupid.

    There is no reason for Fury Wilder 3. He was decisively beaten (twice if honest)

    Your question is nonsensical, because it's based on the false premise that Fury could only fight one of them. Fury should fight three or four times per year to compensate for all the ducking he's done.
