WBC heavyweight title now vacant

[J_C]

You misunderstand. I wasn't saying that is what I think should happen, I was saying that is what should happen as per WBC rules. I agree it would be pointless, but when there is a vacant title up for grabs, #1 fights #2.

However, saying that, you view that Fury beat 2 former WBC Title challengers can only be taken into account for Johnson, since Chisora hadn't challenged for the title when Fury beat him. Wilder beat former WBO Champion Sergey Liakovich and for WBA World Title Challenger Audley Harrison. Do they make him warrant a title shot?

Certainly not. But I am surprised you think a couple of really over the hill guys getting KOd all over the place are a valid comparison to the guys Fury faced like Chisora, Johnson and Cunningham.

Stiverne v Fury, its the fight imo. Who is more deserving than Fury (other than Stiverne)?

Pulev is the only other guy I can see. But he isn't ranked in that top 10 with the WBC for some reason
