    Andy Ruiz Jr., Luis Ortiz and Filip Hrgovic are in combinations, who would be the best and least risky opponent for Fury?

    Usyk but we have to wait till next year because Usyk wanted to spend the winter masturbating

    #1 Joyce
    #2 Ruiz,,,he's probably got the best chance
    #3 Babic,, he'd be so easy to hit
    #4 Hrgovic, won't happen
    #5 Usyk , won't happen

    Ruiz is the clear choice. He has some nice wins, including AJ on his resume and is a former champion. It does the most for Fury's legacy, while not offering much of a challenge. Ruiz would have no chance.

    Ruiz. Easy nights work but he could make a statement by stopping him.

    Ruiz would be an easy sell and probably an easy win for Fury. Punchers chance of course.

    Joe Joyce has called out AJ for his preferred date of the 17th. So if AJ ducks Fury, then the Joyce fight will be made. Unless of course AJ ducks Joyce as well as Fury

    To be honest Charr doing his best to talk trash is pretty hilarious & worth it. If he's going to fight a light touch he might as well fight a funny one who is in need of a payday.

    ANTHONY PUSSIWA

    Legendary already

    Ruiz has already said he’s willing to fight Fury in December so hopefully it’s him,if it’s not Ruiz then it has to be somebody decent. Even though it’s a voluntary defence a Charr level opponent would be disappointing to say the least .

    Why wasting time, he already send the contract to Chisora. It will be that type of quality opponent, bot higher that is sure.

    Michael Hunter just became available, solid opponent, IMO, much better than Chisora or Charr.
