    I like Fury, and he's taken some good, testing fights thus far, but if he is serious about facing Vitali or Wlad next year he needs to step up in class in a huge way in the future. Whilst people carp on about the likes of Chisora and Johnson as decent opponents, they are missing the point that however good they are in their own right, their fighting style is about as far removed from a brother K as it is possible to get.
    Fury has made a name fighting smaller, lethargic heavies who are not too heavy handed. In Vitali he has a busy power puncher of comparable size.
    What could Fury do to prepare? Find a technically adept, tall, rangy, power punching boxer who will be busy enough to push him. I can't think of any current heavyweight that would be better preparation than Price, which is why it baffles me that team Fury aren't chasing this to the ends of the earth.
    Fury needs Price.
    Fury is simply following the David Haye gameplan: only fight risky fights if he is facing a Klitschko. He won't face Price, unless he's cashing out, or the fight makes s$nse.

    From what I understand, if Vitali retires, which at 41, which there is a good chance of, the title will become vacant, and Fury will go against the winner of Bermaine Stiverne and Cris Arreola. That's a fight I'm more interested in seeing.
    Fury has fought stronger opposition than Price, and is 5 years younger. If he's taking a "non-risk" path then what is Price doing?

    Price is moving equally slowly. He's still fighting at the British domestic level.

    It's my primary criticism of the heavyweight division. There are just a lot of good fights to be made that do not include the KBros, but aren't made because it makes more financial sense for a top fighter to lie in wait until a title challenge with the Kbros opens up. By the way, it makes perfect sense for careers; I'm just a boxing fan, and I would love to see guys like Fury and Arreola mix it up.

    Recently, Pulev beat Dimitrenko, Adamek beat Chambers and Arreola is set to face Stiverne, but who else of the top ten/fifteen is facing each other?

    I recall that Fury wanted a fight with Boystov, which is the exact kind of fight I would be excited to see.
