Ortiz Povetkin and Pulev are the most credible opponents outside of the top three, the issue being two are confirmed dopers, one is back from suspension the other may get a pass from the WBC, I'm all for these guys fighting but under strict testing, hell even Furry hasn't served a suspension over his positive test for nandrolone it's almost as if some of the governing bodies don't care.
A win over Ortiz last April would have been more impressive than a win over Klitschko IMO, the inactivity of Klitschko and his decline in the past 18 months before he fought Fury was evident to the point a win over him is a diminished achievement to when he was in his prime.
I do laugh when AJ fans tell me that was a prime Wlad and his best career performance, statements like 'he never showed that footwork his entire career' nope you just never watched his career !

How many times do you need to be told? ... Fury has NOT been suspended for nandrolone abuse.
