    If Parker is aggressive, - he is mobile and fast enough to take Wilder OUT

    Time to deliver Chisora vs Charr for the WBA regular belt, the headliner. Would be nice to watch Chisora retire on a high, the man deserves it.

    I would like to think Parker had a good chance against Wilder but l just don't. Parker has good whiskers but nobody punches like Wilder and l feel he will just bide his time until the opening arises, like he usually does and then bang, Parker into la la land.

    I agree that Wilder can KO Parker with that explosive right hand.

    I just think Parker has attributes that Wilder has never faced before.

    Chin, speed, balance, movement. Parker on a good night can DOMINATE Wilder if he uses his skills well.

    It will be a fascinating fight

    I doubt any of these fights come off. Not enough time to prepare and too many moving parts. Joshua-Wilder should be the fight. They’re just delaying it again.

    There is only one fight for Bivol (who is by far the best fighter on this card. how is everybody talking about the other fights?). Every day that he doesn't take it, he loses that little bit of my respect/admiration. Maybe I overestimated him and Canelo had hookers and coke the night before...He's lucky Dre hung em up when he did or nobody would know his name. Folks would call him a can. Just one more overrated win on Ward's crappy resume.

    The winner of this "4 man tournament" would have every right to fight for the title, even if they watched Fury Vs. Wilder 4 fight (or AJ Vs. Usyk 3).

    Bivol is obviously a very skilled fighter.

    That is a good and fair question. I expect he will but if he does not his legacy is tarnished indeed.

    Parker has a history of selecting older men (heh) but not usually ones with any threat. I see Parker bitching out of this fight or taking it for the cash and taking a dive before he gets brutally blasted out.

    Er, nope.

    Parker has a history of fighting top fighters in the peak of their prime - such as AJ, Whyte, Joyce, Ruiz, etc.

    Just compare his resume to Wilder, for instance. Quite a difference.

    Bigger pay days for the combatants = higher overheads = public gets charged more = the event is a profitable experience for all involved. This is achieved via promotion and PPV. If the event isn't profitable then it's an abject failure. It's a pretty basic concept to understand.

    Obviously I'm oversimplifying the concept but at it's core that's what's going on.

    Is it right that the top boxers want so much money? Is it right that the public have to pay via PPV? That's the status quo. How is it nonsense?
