    I wouldn't rule out Harrison being the opponent. I sussed Haye out after Ruiz that he would want a hot dog and cookie pay day with Harrison. Chagaev would be a bold choice, would put Fury well ahead of Price in ratings should he come through.

    Sweet! This should be a good fight. 50/50 in my mind. Tyson is still green and Chagaev isn't quite what he used to be.

    I agree mate, excellent fight if it comes off.

    Hopefully people give Fury and Hennessy credit for taking a dangerous opponnent if it happens.

    Chagaev is a joke nowadays, even Fury should beat him.

    who cares if it's "too big a step"? fury's got some experience. as huge as he is, if he cannot get in the ring w/ chagaev for fear of turning into damaged goods (physically or psychologically) then he'll never amount to anything anyway. hate all the coddled hw's and now there are fans worrying about the risk/reward aspect of it. any hw fight between top 25 hw's is a good and rare thing these days. and any such matchup shouldn't be second guessed by anybody

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to soon for Fury to test his new stance against a top 20 HW.

    A former champion only about 4 yrs removed from prime. Not a wise move to fight another SP, and a Blevel one at that.

    I'm warming up to Fury. I wanna see him take a few more smalled fights before jumping into deep water. A fight with Dimitrenko would be a dream as Fury could really put it on him, but I'd be happy to see him get Arrich or even Ding or another journeymen until he's comfortable with that new set.

    Good fight. Hope that Chagaev gets himself into decent shape. Then we will see how good Fury really is.

    Chagaev is past his prime, but he still has enough left in the tank to beat Fury.

    Fury won't have any trouble with Chagaev. Easy fight.
