Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Eyes Arreola-Stiverne Winner, WBC Shot

[Weltschmerz]

Arreola-Stiverne was supposed to be a title elimination. Why would the winner fight Fury? Unless Klitschko refused to fight the winner and retired.

I was thinking the same. And Fury was talking about fighting Pulev, not Arreola, for a final IBF eliminator as well. Isn't Vitali supposed to fight the winner of Arreola-Stiverne as a mandatory defense?

Arreola Stiverne is a final eliminator,unless anyone can source any new comments from the WBC,winner would have faced Fury for vacant belt had Vitali decided to retire,he said on bbc Ukraine he fights on in he last few weeks.
I hope Fury or Cunningham winner faces the Areola winner though,I've little desire to Arreola get a one sided beat down from Vitali again,I'd favor a Fury vs Vitali though,that would be awesome,when Vitali has knocked him out,it'll silence a few dumb asses that would have you believe Vitali ducked taller opposition,regarding Valuev.

If Arreola wins, Vitali will retire.

If Stiverne wins, Vitali will fight him, because a Don King fighter will never unify with Wladimir.

Fury would also have a better chance vs Vitali (rather than vs Wladimir) at this stage.

Maybe Vitali will fight on regardless, he hasn't stated any clear retirement plans?

He wants Wladimir to unify all the titles. Arreola will unify with Wladimir, Stiverne will not.

He would have retired in December if that fight had taken place and Arreola had won.

I recently watched a few of Fury's fights, and I have come to the conclusion that he is vastly overrated.

I agree, apart from his size there's nothing impressive about him and the way he fights.

And for as big as Fury is his power is also vastly overrated.

Yes it's no better than average at best. When he was getting walked down by Kevin Johnson i felt embarrassed for him, such a huge guy getting pushed on to the back foot by a feather fisted counter puncher.
