Hasim Rahman for me. A big name, who was limited even in his prime.

Some American cannon-fodder.
Busy but not punchers to start with.

He can still punch though. Bit of a risky match that. Botha was a good match up - eff knows why the board knocked it back,

He's still a baby, so no need to rush. I think Rahman is too big a step.

Might sound like a relative backward step, but I think Sherman Williams might not be a bad one.

Or did Sprott retire?

Chisora would have been perfect.....a real test.

I don't understand why everyone seems to want him to fight a foreigner. There are plenty of fighters who could give him trouble in this country:

Sexton
Price
Rogan
Sprott
Olubamiwo
hell even Audley would throw a punch at him.....eventually

I thinkv part of the problem is some of these guys wont get in the ring with him and take the risk i dont think.

I think it's more that he'd get his arse handed to him by a Chisora, Price or possibly even Larry...and that would ruin their grand plans for him

For me his next opponent would be 5 miles of jogging every day and a nutritionist.

Himself! I mean, judging by Fury's comments, the only person who can defeat him, is himself!

I like your old school approach but not gonna happen! As much as boxing fans blame promoters the same people write someone off after a loss. That's why everyone is 25-0 when challenging for a title and don't know what to do if everything doesn't go their way.

Id take all them pal , for fury i mean not that i personally would take them :box:
Tyson Fury had a bit of banter on facebook with Gavern recently , gavern said hed knock fury out , so i think that fights probably a possiblity , other than that i think Sprott is a fight id like to see for fury at this point
