Fury has lost over 100 lbs in a few months and hasn't fought for 1000 days...let him have his comeback to shake off the rust and get back into the swing of things and then we can start talking after he's had three fights to get himself back to where he was in 2015.
He'll be ready to face Wilder and Joshua in 2019, not before then.
I didn't say he was wrong to take a tune up. Just responding to the guy who says he could take out Joshua or Wilder right now, which is a patently absurd notion.

No it's not. Fury is a special fighter, and Joshua/Wilder are pretty basic boxers with a big punch. Fury schools them both right now.
To be fair, with a neutral ref (err I should say 'non-corrupt' / incompetent) Parker would stand a good chance against AJ.
Would be like fighting Mayweather in an MMA octagon but no kicks, grappling, elbows etc. are allowed. The ref stopped Parker's only real plan to victory so he had no chance.
As much crap as I give Hughie Fury as he is boring and an inferior Tyson, his style should he improve on it (very young) will present problems in the future. A good style to steal fights while taking minimal damage over your career.
The HW scene is very weak IMO, AJ and Wilder both picked up boxing in their 20s or something so can rely on beating smaller opposition, as does Fury with his clinching and Klitschko before him. In all fairness Tyson does have good fight IQ and skills like footwork and Wilder isn't that big so relies on freak power so he isn't gaming the system so much as the other guys like Fury, Klit, AJ etc
