Lucas browne or david price at least.
Hammer is a shit opponent i agree.
Lucas Brown is only ranked 20 in the world, David Price 26!
Mariusz Wach is ranked 44 in the world.
Christian Hammer is ranked 11.
These are boxrec independent rankings. Hammer is ranked higher than any of those fighters mentioned.
Ricly Hatton wont let Brown fight Chambers let alone Fury. David Price has got a job to get in the ring with journeymen.
If Brown and Price are so dangerous why are they still fighting nobodies and journeymen?
They are being matched carefully against low level fighters because they have big limitations.
Who is the highest ranked either has beaten?
Rankings do mean something, especially the boxrec ones as they are independent and worked out by a scoring system. The reason hammer is far ahead of any of those others is because he has been beating much better fighters!
Ranking doesn't mean anything? Thats like saying "just because hes a better fighter, doesn't make him a better fighter!!!!!"

The boxrec system is far from perfect, no system is.
A Price fight would at least show us Fury's skills once he's lost a height and reach advantage, would be more interesting than him fighting yet another shorter heavy.

Rankings DEFINITELY do not always mean much, clearly better fighters are often ranked below shitter ones and boxrecs scoring system is obviously flawed in this regard.
IBO rankings are more legit as are Ring and fight News rankings but there are no ideal ways to rank fighters really.

Boxrec are the fairest. Its a scoring system. Its not a sanctioning body or magazine with influence that make money.
As for height, Tysons 6th opponent Scott Belshaw is 6.7" Tyson fought him when Scott only had one loss and on points, he had a record of 10.1.0.

Fury vs Wach would be a war IMO neither super huge punchers, neither like to "box", both are relatively easy to hit. I think that would be a dangerous fight for Fury at this point.
Face facts, Tyson Fury is young, he's got time to develop, he's caught at a time where there are few worthy "dance partners" as it were, and Fury before the Chisora rematch had been out a long time, he deserves a warm up bout or two A) to get some money and B ) to get prepared for his title run.
Now that said Tyson can take all the time he wants to he's not beating Wladimir Klitschko
What will I be proven wrong about? Tyson Fury has shown me NOTHING to say he's a threat to Wladimir. His chin isn't all that great, his power is sub par (especially considering his size), his work rate is so-so, and his boxing ability is nowhere near Wlad's class.
How would a Tyson Fury victory over Wladimir Klitschko happen? Explain to me the step by step process Tyson will go through to win the titles off Wlad. I know how a Wlad victory over Fury might go...either Wlad establishes the jab and boxes Fury into submission OR Wlad says "fuck this dude, I'm ending it early" and bombs Fury out with either the right cross OR the left hook because Tyson Fury has fought nobody like Wladimir, none with his skill, none with his power....Wlad has fought guys bigger than himself and he has always...repeat ALWAYS won
People have been saying "I'm going to check Wladimir's glass chin" for TEN YEARS NOW! and there have been guys who are a lot better punchers than Tyson Fury that have said that.
Complain about clinching all you like, Wlad wins fights, he wins by KO, and he'll KO Tyson Fury...hate to break it to you but that WILL happen.
Fury's workrate is pedestrian, he's been knocked down by a CRUISERWEIGHT who had like 10-12 stoppages out of 25 wins at the time....so don't tell me Wlad's chin is the one that's dodgy.
What power puncher has Fury fought? What top boxer has Fury fought? Wlad is the BEST in the division and there is absolutely 0 argument about it (among sane people)
