    It has to be The Gypsy King right?

    Tyson Fury's incredible renaissance to usurping Anthony Joshua as boxing's highest paid star: Lucrative fights in the US, a multi-million pound payday with WWE... and his 'Behind The Mask' autobiography set him back onto the super stardom path
    • British heavyweight Tyson Fury tops chart for highest paid combat star of 2020
    • He has enjoyed a remarkable comeback to top echelons of heavyweight boxing
    • He crushed Deontay Wilder in February to complete his incredible renaissance
    • The Gypsy King has also enjoyed ventures outside the boxing ring of late
    • He has stepped into world of WWE, plus has an £80million deal with Top Rank
    Canelo still can't speak English which limits his impact to capture the American market. An illiterate Pacquiao being able to learn and utter a few broken words of English did him great, why can't Canelo manage?

    Fury/Canelo.

    Although it’s not exactly difficult to be the highest paid boxer in 2020 when there haven’t been many big fights.

    You clearly have an agenda, but you are not wrong. Fury is the name to know in boxing right now.

    Fury and Canelo

    I think Fury has more upside though, canelo has peaked

    When lock down ends and boxing is back Fury will be doing the talk show circuit in the US, he will be a big star.

    He's the hottest name in world sport, period.

    He didn't just resurrect himself back from the dead after those three years in the wilderness when he was a 400lb drug-ravaged slob who was on the brink of suicide, and resurrect himself from the dead when he rose like Lazarus arter being knocked spark unconscious by the hardest right hand the hardest puncher in history has ever or ever will throw, he resurrected HW boxing and boxing in the US too. And on top of that everything he's predicted has come to pass.

    Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury is the GOAT

    Deal with it

    To be fair Fury had 3 fights, a WWE match and a book release in the tome frame Forbes used. AJ only had one fight in that time frame. I still think AJ gets paid more.
