So Chisora being beat fairly by 2 on the list is the same as Haye pulling out twice with injury?? Strange.
No but if haye is the best of the bunch in britain why pull out against the "number 2" guy? Haye is good im not saying he isnt but he cant even be ranked in this thread as he hasnt fought since chisora just trained for 3 fights and pulled out of all 3

It's Haye, by a mile.
I like that analogy........
Except, if the whole Chelsea team were returning from 2 years out with cruciate knee ligament injuries and instead of Accrington Stanley it was Charlton.
Until I see Haye get through a fight I'll have Fury as favourite. Haye has the pedigree but also the biggest question marks.
Its the same for me. Haye should beat them all at the moment if he is the same as he was before the injuries. But he hasn't fought for ages and the injuries were pretty serious so is Fury for me - for now.

Haye is signing autographs in Milton Keynes on Nov 15th and South Shields on the 22nd. I'd be surprised if he fought again and think he just puts his name out there to stay relevant. I also think Booth knew this going right back to the Fury camp...

Haye hasn't fought in 2 and a half years.
He'll never fight again.
His heart isn't in it and I am highly sceptical about the legitimacy of all 3 (Charr, Fury twice) of his pull outs since he last fought.

Looking at current positions have gone for Haye. I like Fury, he is very agile and under-rated boxer for such a tall guy. He's not a WK box and avoid a fight style. BUT I think Haye did Fury a favour pulling out. Fury's problem has been with shorter guys throwing overhand rights that he walks onto and doesn't get a good view of. I think Fury is fine against taller guys but Haye is just the right height and is one of the biggest hitters the division has seen.

i'll say price for the time being, he's had a rough patch in his career but he's coming back and doing all the right things to get back on top so he's a professional.
Fury at the moment hasn't been fighting a lot with cancellations and fair enough with the passing of a family member so it would be unfair to rate him until he comes back. Chisora as much as he has improved I think professionally he has a short temper and can be unprofessional and it's a bad representation of what boxing is which I can relate to Haye despite his obvious talent the over confidence and arrogance at times makes him come across as disrespectful and rude despite him coming to the end of his career and should be carrying the standard for how our heavyweights should be acting.
Joshua shouldn't be included in this just yet because I think he is still a prospect for the British heavyweight division and hasn't fought at the others level yet even though that day is coming soon in my opinion.

Based on what? Fury does nothing better than AJ.

Fury is better at being tall than Haye, Price and Chisora, and takes a better punch than Price. Other than that, he's less than every one of them in every category. One day we will look back and laugh at how we were taken in!

He's also better and winding people up and getting himself attention! He knows how to work people and sanctioning bodies.
How else could a fighter who was fighting at domestic level and getting put down by blown up cruiserweights go from that to a genuine world level fighter on the basis of 2 fights being cancelled???? I think Fury is great entertainment on twitter, in his interviews and in the ring. However, world class he is not. If USS Cunningham & that Pakjic fella can put him down, a shot from Price, Joshua and Haye would keep him down

That's bang on in my estimation. I think he's useless, but I'm enjoying his ride :)
