Who are the safest opponents going forward for Tyson Fury?

Safest top ten/twenty type opponents? Probably Charr followed by Rivas or Takam or someone like that.

 

guess you actually mean seven years ago? the only thing proven is that anyone who hits him square on the chin can put him down. Pajkic had less than a 33% ko rate fighting complete bums. Never mind Fury's 2 1/2 year ped suspension since then.

 

He was 2 or 3 years into his career when that fight happened. Are we now saying that Tyson hasn't more than proven his mettle, against better competition? And it's irrelevant if you go down if they can't keep you down and out. And that most certainly hasn't happened to Fury.

 

Given this some more thought and simply saying 'anyone who isn't AJ' is probably not specific enough. So I've made up a list at random of opponents who are GUARANTEED safe.
