Looks like HBO's president will be attending Fury's next fight with a view to brokering a deal for Klitschko v Fury to take place later in the year. Heres hoping.

Excluding Wilder v Klitschko this is probably the division most intriguing fight. Its hard for anyone to seriously fancy Fury doing a job on Klitschko however Fury is not the joke and talentless oaf he is condemned by many on here and may pose a slight legitimate threat. Heres hoping as you said.

Cheers, Rodders

more or less of a 'slight legitimate threat' than say Pulev, Rodders? My money is on Wlad barely breaking a sweat!

I wouldn't like to say mate, thats a tough one. Fury has a few inches and reach on his side over Pulev whether that makes any difference or not time will tell.

Offers something logistically that none of his opponents have offered..........He's bigger, taller and has a longer reach..........and he can bang hard enough for Wlad.........

He's also too thick to bottle it !!!

Klitty is no spring chicken and his chin is dodgy......he was rocked by a jab in the first round of his last fight..

Fury has a decent chance for me........

Hope he wins..........Colorful chap and colorful is what we need at Heavy..

When Wlad isn't hurt, he normally drags out the fight past its sell by. Hopefully Fury rocks him early. Wlad isn't really considered a fighter, but he he doesn't cover up when rocked - fights fire with fire and normally has the bigger flame. He's a better athlete than Fury, I think he might be stronger, and for me hits harder.

I would be surprised to see it happen. Fury looked impressive against Chisora but its usually been one step forward three steps sideways from the Fury team. Hes certainly in no hurry to test himself.

Fury will certainly give it a go but is still open to an overhand right.

I'd love to see him tear into Klitschko (who I'm beginning to warm to it has to be said).

Fury is in demand. Both Wlad and wilder see him as their logical next opponent. They know they need to hold off from meeting each other for another fight. I'd guess both see fury as low(ish) risk high a reward. Fury should make some money for a change. Prob gets ko'd by either/both.

I'm as guilty as anyone about being negative towards Fury. Took me too long to admit that he's not the oaf who got slapped about by the muffin man McDermott anymore.

He's done as much as any of Wlad's recent opponents to deserve the fight. Having said that, I don't see him having much success. Think he'll come to fight but will eat Wlad's right as long as it lasts.

If Fury is given the chance I think he will jump at it. Just hope he doesnt try to outbox Klitschko and instead goes balls to the wall to give Klitschko a hiding.
