    Yeah I don't get this 'not ready' stuff either. Pulev isn't a champion, you have to beat these guys to get to the champ.

      Fury-Pulev would be good. I'd love to see David Haye fight either guy, but I'm not sure what's going on with his opponent selection......any word???

          If you want to know who Haye is fighting ask Freedom/Tunney, he is currently sucking Haye at every opportunity.

            I wish Fury all the best. I did pick Cunningham to win but I can't say I'm all that impressed with Fury and he's still very beatable. I can't see him even come close to beat the Klit bros. However he's definitely ready for anyone in the HW division. I mean most guys in the HW dvision arent all that great. I still think most of the top guys beat him but he has heart and will put up good exciting fights.

            Arreola vs Fury would be fun to watch. Arreola is a heavy puncher strong aggressive minded dude. I think he would be too much for Fury. Fury would destroy Wilder though but so would any of the top 10 guys.

              Nothing yet. Freedom is keeping a close eye on it though, look out for his updates

                I hope Haye fights Pulev.

                I'd also like to see Malik Scott and Bryant Jennings, the two best Americans at heavyweight, get some decent fights this year. Scott already should have gotten the clear decision over Glazkov, who Freedom was sucking off every chance he got.

                I wish Adamek-Jennings would have been made next, but it'll be interesting to see what Joe Hanks is all about. I've never seen the guy.

                  Beating Dimitrenko? Absolutely not. He was supposed to do that.

                  Pulev has only had 17 fights, and he's stepped up nicely in each of his last 4-5 fights.

                  What was so special about Rigo before he fought Donaire?
                  What was so special about Wlad at his 17th fight?
                  Floyd?
                  Broner?

                  They clearly had skills and talent. Pulev clearly has skills and talent.

                  Weak résumé? Not even sure what that has to do with anything. Name all of the fighters that had such a SUPERIOR résumé to Pulev at the time of their 17th pro fight

                  Go ahead...

                    Pulev looks pretty decent, especially for the heavies this day and age.

                    A lot of people don't seem to remember Floyd going into the Genaro Hernandez fight (#1 130 fighter in the world) had done NOTHING. Andre Ward going into the Kessler fight (#1 168 in the world) had done NOTHING that good yet.

                      Fury will never be a world beater let alone a world champion.

                      ****m was right the only thing he has going for him is youth & size.

                      He is a circus freak with a big mouth. I give him that he is an entertainer and he has improved somewhat but that guy has no chin what so ever, his defense is atrocious (Did Cunningham miss a single right hand?) hes slow, his balance is horrific! He has no head movement, hes an arm-puncher.
                      He can not stick to a gameplan and there was virtually no thought process in absolutely anything he did tonight.

                      Hes rubbish.

                      Hes not even on Wach, Dimitrienko or Ustinovs level & they are are big stiffs. Gatekeepers for world level is a very weak division.

                      The reality is legitimate world class heavyweights shouldn't be making Cunningham look like hes got Earnie Shavers type power going on.

                      He is an overgrown clown.
