8 Heavyweights - You Make Four Matches

[keithmoonhangover]

So, here's a list of 8 heavyweights. Use them all to create four match ups. Who would you pit against each other and why?

Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua
David Haye
David Price
Hughie Fury
Dereck Chisora
Dillian Whyte
and
Shannon Briggs

[crusader]

T. Fury vs Joshua
Haye vs Whyte
H. Fury vs Price
Chisora vs Briggs

[stujones]

If it was a bit of a tournament I would say.

First round.
Fury vs Price (just on previous war of words and as 1st seed, Fury would face 8th seed Price).
Haye vs Hughie Fury (bit of poetic licence, but have Haye and Hughie at 2nd and 7th seeds and maybe to spark a bit of interest in Tyson vs Haye).
Joshua vs Briggs (3rd and 6th seed - Hearn would love it).
Whyte vs Chisora (4th vs 5th seed - tough fight to call)

Winner of fight 1 vs Winner of fight 4 - and lets just hope it isn't Fury vs Chisora 3.
Winner of fight 2 vs Winner of fight 3 - Haye vs Joshua.

Winner of SF 1 vs Winner of SF 2.

Fury vs Haye - old bad blood, the anticipated fight that never happened

Chisora vs Whyte - 2 cocky London badboys up against each other

Hughie Fury vs Price - 2 tall up and comers, I'd like to see how Fury would react.

That leaves Joshua vs Briggs - I'd rather watch the other 3

Yeah, that's nice.... although maybe swap Haye and Tyson Fury.... Joshua vs Haye would be a bit tasty and short.... and at least the press conferences for Tyson vs Briggs would be a blast.

Good call, I'd be happy with that. I imagine Briggs would be the only one on that list who'd manage to get under Tysons skin

Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua
David Haye
David Price
Hughie Fury
Dereck Chisora
Dillian Whyte
and
Shannon Briggs

This sounds like the Uk vs the UK+Briggs.
AJ vs Tyson (fight of this century, I see them combining all belts actually.
Briggs vs Haye, finally Haye who feels what it's like to have a conversation with an idiot instead of the other way around.
Chisora vs Whyte, pretty much the same boxers, just a generation gap.
And Price Hughie, most of these matchups are also quite close on their boxrec rankings as well.

Fury vs Haye
Whyte vs Price
Chisora vs Joshua
Briggs vs Hughie

[fizzjambo]

Price v Briggs
If Price cannot beat someone this slow who gasses ever quicker than he has then it's retirement time. If Briggs can get to Prices chin it'll most likely be an impressive looking KO which could push him into a fight with decent money. Loser retires, winner gets a payday.

Hughie vs Chisora
Hughie is so young for a heavy that he needs sensible development. Three of the guys in this list would do him easily at this stage. Chisora would be a big step up. A win for Chisora would be a stepping stone on a comeback, a loss probably means the end. If Chisora was fit he'd be there for all 10/12 rounds which would tell us a lot about what Hughie really has.

Fury vs Joshua
If they keep winning its easily the biggest fight out there, money wise, in boxing in Europe. Polar opposities in every way, if the marketing guys can't make everyone involved serious money then they're clowns.
We know how good Fury can be, if he pitches up motivated and in shape then we'll find out how good Joshua is.

Haye vs Whyte
Hayes not fighting anyone better is he? Whyte hasn't beaten anyone of note but showed potential promise vs Joshua. Haye vs Chisora all over again which was entertaining stuff and sold well.

Shannon the Cannon vs all of them one after the other! LETS GO CHAMP

[Stuarty]

I know he's not included in the list but while we're on the subject of the heavies I'd love to see Haye v Povetkin.

Two highly skilled boxers right there.

[Supremo]

Fury vs Joshua for a unification
Haye vs Hughie- no real interest in either of them
Chisora vs Whyte would be fun and both would go for it
Prics vs Briggs- neither are relevant

Nice matchmaking there. You would need to give Briggs half a chance against Price. He can take a dig and would be dangerous as long as he's on his feet.

Great thread KMH.

So, here's a list of 8 heavyweights. Use them all to create four match ups. Who would you pit against each other and why?

Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua
David Haye
David Price
Hughie Fury
Dereck Chisora
Dillian Whyte
and
Shannon Briggs

Fury v Price
Hayes v Joshua
Dillian v Hughie
Briggs v Del

[rossij8]

I've always been interested in a Chisora v Price match up

[lckov]

I would love to see Dillian Whyte face either David Haye or Derek Chisora. I think Whyte has an abrasive, in your face style that would clash well with Chisora's, while a fight with Haye would give you an idea just how good Haye still is/Whyte could be.

Out of the rest, I actually like the idea of David Price vs Hughie Fry.

I would rather see Joshua vs Fury next year. I don't think Joshua is ready yet.

[davie]

Fury vs Joshua - The biggest fight, probably the best out there and a unification

Price vs Hughie Fury - a good test for both. Little chance of Price getting sparked and see how Hughie deals with a big guy who bangs.

Chisora vs Whyte - would be a good fight and a good test.

Briggs vs Haye - well, it would be fun. And hopefully the 2nd round TKFO would convince Briggs to fvxk off

Hughie Fury

David Price vs Shannon Briggs - The easiest softball you could give Shannon of the list. Price is chinny as all hell, Briggs is shot. A winnable fight for both

Hughie Fury vs Dereck Chisora - Body Acne vs Loser to the Stars would let us know if Fury is a future star of U.K. Boxing. If he couldn't beat Chisora he'd never amount to much.

David Haye vs Dillian Whyte - I think Whyte is capable of dusting David Haye, and I'd love to see it. I can't stand Haye.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua - Would be one of the biggest fights in U.K. history, and the only time in recent memory that we had an All British showdown for the Legitimate Heavyweight Championship.
