    So..who takes the titles from Fury then?

    If any, out of the current contenders?

    Clearly size is gonna matter here. Fury against much smaller guys will most likely see him morph into Vlad and just hit and hug all night.

    But anyway we have..

    Wilder

    Povetkin

    Joshua

    Haye

    Jennings

    Parker

    Ortiz

    Ruiz

    Anyone missing? Imo the contender needs to be of a similar height, some speed, some movement, a solid jab and most important a HUGE punch (lol so basically an all-round game)

    I think Wilder and Joshua probably have the best chance because those two are perhaps the biggest punchers in the division today and they will go to the body aswell which is something Tyson didn't have to worry about against Vlad who is simply lacklustre in that department.

      "Bum squad" LOL good one. But yeah with Deontay he's got massive reach himself, is tall and has probably a big punch than Tyson!..also can move as he showed against Stivern!!..i think it would be an interesting battle tbh.

        I think povetkin can do it. The way wlad was allowed to hug and lean on him was a disgrace. In a fair fight he can become the champion.

        Wilder might do it. Haye also depending on what he has left, his legs and reflexes might be gone at this point.

            Joshua in summer 2017.

            Just a guess.

              Povetkin has no chance, he's too small. Wilder has a punchers chance, but he's levels below Fury in terms of boxing skill.

                Not a great heavyweight division right now.

                Probably Wilder with his power could give problem to Fury.

                I think original Mike Tyson in his prime would knock Tyson fury out in 1 or 2 rounds.

                  It's gonna be interesting because with Fury being only 27 he's likely to be around for a while so if the young guns like Joshua fail against him we could see a long reign for the gypsy king.

                    Povetkin is the only one with a shot, everyone else has a punchers chance. Anthony Joshua is at least 3 years away from being close to ready and needs a new trainer.
