I'd love to see Fury give his next stay-Active fight to Bakhodir Jalolov. Not ready, you say? Maybe those youngsters he beat for the Gold at the Olympics felt the same way about professional Bakhodir Jalolov!

Frank Sanchez would be decent tune up opponent. The guy has talent. Also, he is big boi.

I think Fury vs. Jon Jones might go the way Mercer vs. Sylvia went under MMA rules, still the best example of a Boxer vs. MMA fighter. Under Big-Bucks rules, Fury has better sparring partners.

Hard to judge too definitively. AJ only fought two voluntary defences post Klitschko and one of them was a unification fight.

But Ruiz got about $7M as a voluntary, admittedly in tricky circumstances for team Joshua after Miller's late drop out.

Parker was on 35% and the bigger share of the pot if there was a rematch. A decent offer for Parker considering he wasn't exactly a significant champion.

Fury doesn't seem to have been willing to match those kinds of offers. And Usyk is a much more significant champion and bigger fight.

Fury`s problem is he thinks that he is a bigger star than he actually is. And world class contenders won`t fight him for 1 million dollars.

Indeed, if Parker deserved 35% against AJ, than Usyk deserves at least 50% against Fury.
