    I have always believed Parker beats Wilder

    And the new "Kronk" Parker has a great shot against AJ.

    1. April. Fury beats whyte. The fight doesn't do well financially. Fury speaks vaguely about retirement but doesn't commit to anything just yet.

    2. June. AJ controversially beats a rusty Usyk on points and a rematch is set for late fall, which delays the possibility of a unification bout, and furthers the rumors of Tyson Fury retiring.

    3. October. Given the poor financial performance of the Fury v Whyte fight, a fight that nobody wants but is guaranteed to sell is now back on the table: Fury vs Wilder IV. A slightly out of shape Fury knocks out a valiant Wilder in the 11th round. Fury officially announces his retirement in the ring after the fight. Wilder disappears and never officially announces his retirement, but never boxes again. He also still hasn't replaced the battery in his smoke alarm.

    3. November. Usyk at 100% convincingly beats AJ in the rematch and no rematch clause is invoked.

    4. Spring 2023. Joshua vs Joseph Parker for the WBC belt.

    Yep - a world of possibilities

    Parker is in a good spot since he is younger than all the rest

    I think especially if Fury looks poor against Whyte; with the add exception Fury fights to the level of his opponent

    Fury definitely ain’t retiring, Usyk won’t be retiring any time soon either. They’ll both stay champs till they face each other which is hopefully this year or at least early next year.

    Manny Pacquiao loses the presidential election and announces a shock comeback... against Usyk who defeated Fury in December. 44 year old Pacquiao survives a knockdown, rallies, and wins a split decision against Usyk.

    Oh god please get some TCP before you comment after licking AJs behind clean.

    It's disturbing how much you want to be hanging out his bum.

    No unified champion. A fair bit of will-he-won't-he over Fury and/or Usyk retiring, with no clear answer either way as of December 2023. Lots of squabbling and delay over matchmaking. Such fights as we get will be sub par. Fitness issues & age mean that neither Fury nor Usyk will look quite as good as before on the occasions [two fights each at the most over this period] that they fight.

    I'd only assume you were joking if you think Parker would beat Wilder or AJ.
