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
Johnson is a punching bag that moves. He doesn't try. Cunningham was a 37 year old guy who'd lost 3 of his last 4, and when Fury beat Chisora he beat a guy well out of shape that wasn't taking boxing seriously. I used to hate Chisora because he thought he could win without even trying to get in shape. It is only recently he has started to get his act together. You can pick holes in Fury just like you can Wilder. Both have been protected and carefully moved up the rankings and until they make a serious move, I won't buy into the hype of either.

On paper, Robert Helenius & Tomasz Adamek have better record than Fury. I agree with Pulev and Stiverne being the most deserving.

While you may not want to see a Stiverne-Arreola rematch, my point is that the fact they're rated #1 & #2 means it will likely be ordered unless Golden Boy wave the cash at the WBC. Unfortunately for Fury he has Mick Hennessy promoting him and Hennessy couldn't sell shit to flies so I honestly don't see Fury getting the shot.
