On a article on boxing scene winners must face in 120 days which is 4 months man heavyweight division is heating up
That would be a great matchup any way you slice it. And, if it goes as I think (ie underdog Chisora beats Pulev and favorite Parker beats Takam), it would give a great opportunity for Parker to make himself a draw in the UK. Chisora would have renewed hype, could make a good draw of it in England, and assuming Parker wins, he could build himself into enough of a draw that a Parker Joshua fight would not only be great for real fans, but would actually be a hyped, money making fight for casuals as well.
Yeah. I've never done the whole Vcash thing, but I'm considering it for this. Chisora's a big underdog, and I think Pulev is perfect for him stylistically, would be a redux of Chisora Helenius. I'm not sure how you go about "betting" on here, though.
If Parker is to get a belt he's going to have to down the hard way, unlike Joshua. Goes to show the difference when you're a draw and have promotional muscle behind you.
I really would love to see Parker vs. Pulev. That wuold be a very tough nut to crack for Parker and I think we'd finally see what he's made of.
That's a very strong 4 man mini tournament. Whoever gets the shot from that group will have earned it. As long as no one pulls out or is injured I think Pulev ends up winning this and I'd make Chisora the longshot here but I wouldn't be too surprised at whoever walks away with the title shot from this group.
Wasn't the winner of Parker v Takam supposed to get a title shot, while winner of Pule v Chisora supposed to fight another fight, before becoming mandatory?
yeah i also thought that Parker vs Takam will face Joshua but i read it in a article discussing Joshua's possible opponents
If Joshua has a couple of feeble defences vs Molina and Breazeale etc and then has to face the winner of this tournament the jump in class is going to be astronomical and in all honesty too much for him. I don't normally believe in 'form' in heavyweight boxing, but the winner of the tournament will truly have it ...
Let's be real none of these guys are a threat to Joshua. Parker is the most interesting as he's a bit of an unknown quantity but would favor Joshua big from what I've seen. Joshua should be going after the Povetkin/Wilder or Wlad/Fury winner.
I was about to say the same. It's BS that Parker, Chisora, Takam, and Pulev have to go tooth and nail to a title shot while AJ is laying pretty taking on challenges like Malik Scott and Martin. atsch
Exactly. Who the **** did Martin and Glazkov have to beat to be installed as number one contender? Anyone of those four could prob best those two hype jobs.
