If you could rearrange the 4 'big' heavyweight fights.

[deadpan]

Fury-Usyk
Joshua-Joyce
Zhang-Dubois
Whyte-Ngannou (offers a bit more speculation about a one punch upset).


Though Joshua-Dubois was tempting too.

Is there a more fan-friendly configuration?

[My T Sharp]

Fury - AJ
Usyk - Zhang
Dubois - Whyte
Joyce - Ngannou

[My T Sharp]

Agree, AJ Dubois would be good it it turns into a scrap.

[stujones]

Fury - AJ
Usyk - Zhang
Dubois - Whyte
Joyce - Ngannou

Swap aj and usyk and I agree.

[Teddy's Toupee]

Joshua v Wilder
Joyce v Fury
Zhang v Dubois
Ngannou v John Fury

[tonyevs]

Fury - Usyk
AJ - Zhang
Dubois - Joyce
Whyte - Ngannou

[Grilling Machine]

Joshua v Wilder
Joyce v Fury

These two are locks for me. Physically I think Joyce would be Fury's hardest fight, same as I think Zhang's the hardest physically for Joyce. Whereas I think Joyce could press Usyk and Fury a lot more than he can Zhang, who'd be comfortably outpointed by them unless they were careless and got stopped.

Joshua v Wilder's either a raggo spectacular or a curiously boring affair, but I'm down for it.

Zhang v Dubois
Ngannou v John Fury

Zhang-Dubois sounds fun, but I'd swap Ngannou for Grant. Usyk can stay busy with Sanchez, Ruiz or Hrgovic, or find out how good Mak or Kosso are.

Something to watch out for: the WBA have Pero rated at #4. Who are they lining him up for...

[Teddy's Toupee]

I'd swap Ngannou for Grant.

Fighting in a rain soaked carpark. If Fury has the guts to get out of his Ford Transit.

[Grilling Machine]

Transit's only for the ringwalk.

[gregregegg]

Fury vs usyk. (undisputed)

AJ vs zhang (AJ 1000x the skills, but a southpaw thats teak tough and can whack, makes it fun).

DDD vs Whyte (war between tooo guys with iffy skills, whyte opperrated at a higher levle but DDD probs chins him)

joyce vs nganu. (joyce is probably the most hittable guy in the first few rounds so gives nganu a tiny tiny punches chance befor he gets the absolut shit punched out of him).

[Teddy's Toupee]

Transit's only for the ringwalk.

Ringwalk? There's no ring when it's on the cobbles or in a carpark.

[HomicideHenry]

Ngannou vs Chisora
Whyte vs Dubois
Zhang vs Joshua
Joyce vs Ruiz
Fury vs Usyk

This thread seems to have diverted from the original premise somewhat.

Wilder v Thunderlips
Dubois v Liston

Bowie v Bolan

Dan Wootton v The Dark Forces Of The Establishment.

[Grilling Machine]

Bowie v Bolan

Bowie wins most of the early rounds with flashier work, but the shorter man digs in to run him close on points. Everyone ducks Scott Walker and we lament Lynott's early retirement.

Gary Glitter beats all the other greats of '70s glam rock.

I'd fancy Wootton. Plenty of ring experience.

Walker's reach would have been a concern for any of his peers bar Mick Fleetwood. Plus his 'Tilt'-era ring walk music would have been as unsettling for an opponent as watching Tyson approaching the ring in his torn-towel-over-his-shoulders pomp.

David Diamante announces "From the four corners of the globe to the well lubricated sphincter of Dan Wootton's next victim...The raping starts NOW!"

Not the raping of chidren?

The Michael Spinks fight pre-dates the "Tilt" album.

True! I bought Tilt on day of release in '95. First song - he's back! Rest of it - Oof.
