Who would be the best opponent for Fury if the Joshua fight doesn't happen?

Jake Paul.

 

Ruiz is actually better more credible opponent than AJ.
they are 1-1 head to head but Ruiz had the better win & is coming off two wins.

honestly I would love to see Fury v AJ but there is no way AJ would be seen as a big win for Fury with AJ coming off 2 losses

 

I don't understand why Joyce vs Fury isn't being talked about more

 

From the presented options - Ruiz. Outside of those - Usyk and Joyce are a must. Could be good fights with Dubois and Makhmudov.

 

Don't understand the people saying Ortiz or Hrgovic.

Hrgovic just about scraped a win vs 39 year old Zhang.

Hrgovic will get slaughtered vs the better fighters in this division who can maintain their output over rounds rather than gassing out due to old age.

Hrgovic still has a lot to prove. He claims he didn't feel right so maybe he was ill or just lying. I think Hrgovic should fight Zhang again.

Ortiz would get obliterated vs Fury.

The only fight that makes sense out of this is Ruiz vs Fury as Ruiz is now a mandatory.
