    Big John Mcdermott who has fallen short of British class would be my choice,should take him a few rounds.
    Then Chisora would be a good fight but i don`t think he wants to fight to Tyson,if not he could fight sprott in a ten rounder if he wins that he would be ready to fight for the British title.Sprott would be a dangerous fight and we would know how good Tysons chin is.

    McDermott first. When he destroys that fat mess he'll prove he's ready to go for the British title even with so few fights. And McDermott ain't really a threat, he's not a puncher and he's very timid so I'd have no worries as his promoter.

    Then he can fight Williams/Chisora.

    I don't really see the point of hanging around fighting bums.

    Good choices, should fight someone from the states or europe who has a proven record of taking prospects into the later rounds.

    Ron Guerrero, Zuri Lawrence and Jason Gavern too. Bonin and Fabio Moli bring good records and would flop over after a couple of rounds, might help build his confidense.

    I wouldn't call Bonin a tough journeyman. He fell over from a jab against Haye.

    That was because he was facing the Hayematrix :yep:lol:

    Let's see how Fury would do against him.

    If he's falling over against Haye's jab I wouldn't be too optimistic when Fury unleashes the full sink on him. But ya never know I suppose...

    The thing is guys like Cisse Salif and Zuri Lawrence are probably better than John McDermott.

    Didn't Bonin take that Polish HW prospect 10 rounds? Audley didn't get rid of him till something like the 9th. I think Fury would blow Bonin out in 3 or so rounds but it'd be a good measuring stick to show how good he is.

    Yeah, Big Bad John is pretty shite, imagine if he won the British title :patsch.
    These journeymen types would give Fury a harder fight.

    I'd get more rounds in before Zuri maybe an 8 rounder

    Chisora, McDermott, Audley. One or two of them three then go on to Skelton, Williams, Rogan and Sexton. No point in hanging around, he might aswell clear out the domestic scene.

    probs audley,big john or sprott....saying that,chisora would be best bet for me,but chisora is running scared!
     
  13. Yep, Audley Harrison, Price, Chisora.

    I know I may be jumping the gun but I'd like to see him thrown right in with someone like Valuev, just to see how he handled it.

    He could probably beat Valuev as long as he's good for 12 rounds. As it is thats still a big questionmark...so he needs a sensible progression of opponents that are actually likely to last 8 then 10 rounds.

    I think Scott Gammer would be a interesting fight.

    Fury would take him within 4 and it would be a decent domestic name on his record.
