It’s all just guesswork at moment.
Hearn said it’s Ruiz as well.
To be honest, it could be anyone.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
I’m happy with Ruiz. As somebody said, he’s going through a divorce which is unfortunate, but it might mean he is motivated and fighting to keep a shirt on his back and future paydays etc.
That should mean he can hopefully stay out of Taco Bell during his camp.

Yeah. Holyfield has 11. At least that’s what’s been reported. 23 would take some beating for a world title fight unless someone was an absolute hound.mickey1975 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2023, 15:47Holyfield has a lot as well.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
I'd like Zhang to get it, thenguy deserves a big fight. Can't see it though, risky fight
Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
I was a huge fury fan and have championed him throughout his career, even when people (wrongly) go on about the big John robbery (close fight). But I hope he gets chinned by whoever now.
Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
Would like Zhang to get it, he deserves it now and Fury often said Joyce would give him a tougher fight then Usyk.
He's a hot opponent right now whereas Ruiz feels like recycling

CHINESE POWAH 
Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
Because Fury so clearly ducked AJ and just recently Usyk, he needs a credible opponent next otherwise him being regarded as the top heavyweight will become an even bigger joke than he currently is.
Zhang would be an acceptable opponent following his injury win over Joyce. The plodding Fury we have now would make for an interesting fight against the low output Zhang .. but we already know Fury will look for the easiest opponent his promoter's can sell to his gullible fans
*Outside of Usyk. I love to see hrgović or Bakole get the fight .. they appear the top guys at moment I'd say. Both guys workrate would be way too much for Fury.

I was rewatching highlights from his fight with Holyfield the other day - good lord he absorbed one hell of a beating in that fight, his head must have the density of a bowling ball.mickey1975 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2023, 16:09I saw a clip of Big George hitting the bag today at 74.

Minicabs Mickey moments away from saying a septuagenarian Foreman should be Fury's next opponent, claiming he poses a bigger risk than Usyk, Joshua, Ruiz and Zhang combined.mickey1975 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2023, 16:09I saw a clip of Big George hitting the bag today at 74.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
If you watch he second career fights, it’s hard to say he looked great. But I imagine he was one of those fighters who once you actually fought him, actually set problems to be solved not apparent on television. Basically a dense, immovable object who was quite smart in his punch selection and timing. It was surprising that quite dynamic fighters like Morrison and Briggs basically ran for their lives. Yet against Lewis they would at least try to punch it out. Briggs came pretty close in fact to unseating Lewis, and could have done it with more staying power. But didn’t deserve the decision against a very old Foreman.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑22 Apr 2023, 03:54I was rewatching highlights from his fight with Holyfield the other day - good lord he absorbed one hell of a beating in that fight, his head must have the density of a bowling ball.mickey1975 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2023, 16:09I saw a clip of Big George hitting the bag today at 74.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
Ali famously admitted years after the Foreman fight, that the reason for the rope-a-dope tactics, was that he realised that Joe's footwork and positioning was much better than he had thought, and he realised there was no way he could stick and move for 15 rounds and hope to win.polecateddy wrote: ↑22 Apr 2023, 07:11If you watch he second career fights, it’s hard to say he looked great.

George had good trainers, it's not surprising, he absolutely annihilated both Frazier and Norton, both tough and well schooled fighters, you don't do that with nothing more than brute power. It helped that he had a great chin and was very hard to deter also.
Re: Tyson Fury vs. TBA - July 2023
George was very carefully matched in that second career. Got the shot against Moorer after a defeat to Morrison.polecateddy wrote: ↑22 Apr 2023, 07:11If you watch he second career fights, it’s hard to say he looked great.

Don't think it's going to be Ruiz...
Sounds like some pretty serious allegations. Let's see how this one plays out.

I watched that the other day. The punches he's swinging versus Holyfield look like death blows. From 87-91 he still seemed to possess max power.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑22 Apr 2023, 03:54I was rewatching highlights from his fight with Holyfield the other day - good lord he absorbed one hell of a beating in that fight, his head must have the density of a bowling ball.mickey1975 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2023, 16:09I saw a clip of Big George hitting the bag today at 74.

Yeah it was like he was swinging two big logs around, foremans hooks werent quick but the were deadly as he rotated his body fully behind them. Those huge tree trunk.legs and his core strength meant there was huge momentum in them.Billy Tully wrote: ↑22 Apr 2023, 09:00I watched that the other day.
