    Thing is tho besides the knockdown Rivas was fair poor in that fight, he wasn't impressive in the Jennings fight up until the finish either.
    Whyte claimed his approved gloves were taken before his fight, and he used a different pair of gloves that had not been approved, checked or signed off on. Russ Anber protested this and was told that “there’s no time to check the gloves.”

        Proof? What's that? You have nothing? Excuse #300, "Fury's gloves, we can't prove nothing but if we say it enough it may become true!!". Wilder fans are a complete joke at this point. 95% probably never laced up in their entire lives.

          Isn't Michael Hunter available? His draw with Povetkin looks pretty good after seeing what Povetkin did to Whyte so, I think he'd be a better opponent than Rivas or Martin.

            If he fights Kabayel he will be pathetic. Rivas is the best of what's available.

              What happened to that lawsuit that Rivas’ management team was supposed to file on Hearns, Team Whyte and the BBOC and UKAD?

                Rivas is average. Just because he gave Whyte problems doesn't change that. Whyte struggles with almost every opponent he faces.

                  Maybe you are right. But Takam is pretty safe fight for Fury IMO.

                    Fury Vs Martin would be hilarious. Lucas Browne has called out Fury too, that would be equally funny.

                    Fury will probably fight an unknown nobody, he doesn't like to risk much unless there's significant reward (Wallin wants a rematch, but Fury may not be too keen after that cut).

                      Wallin has asked for a rematch but Fury had a tough time in that fight and may not be too keen.

                      Ortiz is 50 years old with a heart condition and was only ever a hype job to stroke Wilders ego.

                      Breazeale is just a punchbag on legs against top rated opponents.
