But it's good that there are other heavyweights available other than Ortiz and Chisora. Look, I like to make jokes with everyone else about Ortiz being old enough to have had an undefeated record in the colosseum as much as the next fan does but I'd rather see Fury fight Ortiz, in a style he hasn't yet faced, than fight Chisora who he dealt with relatively easy years ago.
Yes I know profile and risk vs reward are factors but I don't see how that justifies picking an older Chisora just to blow him out of there in 4 rounds and then shout how you're #1. It's ********. This is what I hate about boxing fans "Oh Sanchez or Hunter wont beat Fury". Let him get in the ring and prove it. Then again I'm sure people said "Buster Douglas isn't going to beat Tyson".... "Holyfield? That blown up cruiserweight? He's not going to beat Tyson are you mad?" Styles make fights. Upsets do happen and they happen the most in the heavyweight division. Fury has track record of finding smaller heavyweights tricky to deal with - Hunter falls into that group. Sanchez, to my eye, is a highly skilled heavyweight as a fan his profile shouldn't matter to you - he is up there in the rankings so if Fury wants to keep claiming he is the best of the best, fight all comers. Up and comers, prospects, veterans, the full shebang. Not people you made retire on their stool and comprehensively beat already.
Hunter did back out of the fight with Hrgovic but then Hughie Fury backed out the fight with Hunter 2 or 3 times now. Maybe the other Fury can have the bottle to fight him. Hunter is adamant he beat Fury in the amateurs, let them try it in the pro-ranks.
He can do that but then his record in the history books will be awful. Perhaps he doesn't care about that and just wants the big bag of cash - that's fine. But as a boxing fan his career is a disappointment. Then again, a few years ago he did say he'd fight Wilder, Whyte, AJ and then Chisora. He is just sticking to his plan, for the most part.
