poss Sosnowski has been softened up by Klit and Dimi but would be a big scalp.

Has Fury been down, without me knowing it? He's been put off balance, so what?

It doesn't matter what happened in the first fight against McDermott. He fought McDermott in his 8th fight, it was ambitious matchmaking.

Which domestic fighters have been moved along faster than Fury? Fury's record is padded less than most domestic fighter's.

I really don't get the dislike/mocking with Fury at all.

He's been kept busy and has fought a varied range of opponents within his 16 fights so far, and has a few good scalps.

There's been very few Polakevic's or Basovs's - even his ''stay busy'' opponents have been half decent and served a purpose.

The lad has been a pro the same length of time as Frankie Gavin, James DeGale, and the others.... yet is way ahead in his development as a fighter. Sure, there are some creases to iron out with his style and such, but I'd certainly give Mick a B+ at worst in terms of his handling of Fury.

His record isn't padded at all, sure he had a couple of bums to start with but was soon onto the likes of Peret, Belshaw etc before moving up into title class.

The fight with Price is the one we all want, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them kept apart for quite some time, both Mick and Maloney need a ticket seller, now isn't the time to cash either of them in (to a degree).

Depends on how much faith they have in his long-term, I think he if he stopped fighting, they are now either Klitschko, but in 18 - 24 months if he continues to improve he may be caught by surprise, can not see The problem is that they improve during this period to avoid the price.Jansport Backpacks...

He definitely needs a new trainer/conditioner. He was not the svelte athlete we were led to believe he'd be when he stepped in the ring. How much roadwork is he doing? Where's the weight supposedly going with his diet? I'm in better nick than him and I'm 48, 6'1 and 15 and a half stone!!

I think Mike Perez would be the one for Fury to face sooner rather than later he also won prize fighter but im sure this will not happen Perez is far to dangerous for Hennesey to contemplate as an early opponent if they can get Rogan in it would be an answer to the irish question

Audley Harrison? No, A Fraud is training for strictly come dancing... Still, it won't stop Fury maybe fighting him sometime at the star tof next year.

Martin Rogan? Rogie has already proved that he's not to keen on the fight... But if he loses this so-called WBU Title shot then it's definitely a maybe. If Rogan wins it, you can forget all about it. He will tour the world and fight bums or retire.

I'm not sure who will or should be next for Fury but as he pushes on towards the mountain top he needs to sort out his conditioning. Its all good and well being tall and having the ability, but without the engine to maximise the skills, they become redundant.

The Klitschko's are not the most technically gifted boxers we have ever seen but when it comes to conditioned fighters there are not many better.

Vitali is not a technically gifted fighter, but Wlad has very good technique.

Of course Vitali is technically gifted. What a ludicrous comment.

Neven Pajkic (16-0) is still knocking about. they were sounding each other out a while back.

this would be a relatively low risk but competitive fight and Neven has wins over Firtha, Gavern and Johnny White so its technically a step up.

I'd like to see how he fares against someone like Michael sprott. I know he's fighting for the EBU belt but he'd be a decent test for fury.

A mixture of internationals/Commonwealth title defences or British title defences would be good for the next 12 months.

Now he is a domestic champion, he just needs to keep winning and he will get a shot sooner or later. I wouldn't step him up much in case he loses.
The Klits aren't getting any younger and he might get lucky and get any easy shot.

I really hope he does fight Audley on channel 5. This could be a fight that really brings the numbers up for them and shows channel 5 what might happen.

There's still a lot of people out there who probably haven't watched him since he was on the beeb and i'm sure they'd stop watching a cooking programme/reality tv/soap to see what's happened to him. I doubt he'd freeze against Fury and it would probably be a good match up
