    Don't put him in with anyone that can punch. They know this though. Wlad was te perfect opponent with his safety first style.

      3 fights in 2018, 2 against pies and then late 2018 a fight against a top 15 ranked heavyweight.

        I'd let him fight charr next to get a belt

          If he's got some time in the sport left, you spend the full 2018 getting Fury back to sharpness (an 8 rounder, a 10 rounder, and then a 12, quality of the opponent doesn't matter), and then head for the big fights in 2019.
          Agree with this the most.

          If he's just come back to cash out then one comeback and then fight Joshua in September which he'll probably lose as its too short a time to get his sharpness back but at least he can retire again and walk away with around £8-10 Million.

          If he wants to create any type of Legacy in the Heavyweight division and he's commited to fight another 5 years then he should come back slowly in 2018 and not even think about any one in the Top 10 as he'll need a full year to get himself back to being fully fit and sharp again.

          Then in 2019, he can look at fighting an eliminator against a Top 10 guy and then fight one of the Champions in the Summer or Autumn 2019, by which time he'll have got back to where he was at the time of the Klitschko fight.

            6. Not embarrass the sport by announcing he's staying away from boxing forever...
