Tyson Fury vs Kubrat Pulev?

You have no idea how bad this fight would be.

Just truly wretched, borderline unwatchable.

Think either man against Wladimir, and now make both those fights exponentially worse than sum of their parts.

 

Fury would beat this one, Fury would beat that one, Fury would beat everyone but he won't because he's a coward with a long tongue, casual fans will rather consider an inactive fighter the best than be realistic, Fury is not the best and never will be...

 

Fury normal throws out a fish like this just to see how people react then takes on someone better.

Agit Kabayel presents more of a threat than Pulev at this point.

Wallin 2 is the fight Fury should take.

 

All three are abysmal options.

There's no excuse to not be fighting Usyk first of all, but failing that it has to be a Ruiz or Joshua. Nothing less is satisfactory.

 

All of the hot shots are either missing the summer or taking on a stay busy fight to ensure they don't lose pulling power for their $500m showdown at the end of the year.

I don't care who Fury fights because of this. If he could find a slick southpaw cruiserweight he'd be balling but there aren't any.

 

Zhang needs to win a belt to invigorate that market fully and if he does it will be a BIG BIG deal. When you're throwing close to $100m+ on a sold out sports event in China then it actually becomes bigger than a private event and you're probably going to get government involvement at some level. It's not something you jolly into. Will take more than a few months to sort out.

The Saudi winter bonanza is pretty much the only prize right now. Plenty of countries talk a big game but only a few have carried through.
