    That’s not how the body SHOULD react when you are presumably going to be Heavyweight Champion. You got to be better than that.

    Your body doesn't give a f if you want to be the champion or not. Human body is not build for taking equilibrium shots in the state that Bakole was in - untrained, fatigued and sleep deprived.

    My ideal situation is Parker vs Usyk.

    If that doesn't happen, Parker-Kabayel fighting the winner of Usyk-Dubois 2.

    That is fair.

    If his body don’t care then he isn’t going to be Champion. Because he is not. You heard it here first.

    Well, his body was in the terrible state. Let's see how he takes this shot when he's fully trained, in shape and not fatigued and sleep deprived.

    I'd like to see him fight:

    1) Usyk this year
    2) Joshua rematch late this year
    3) Dubois in 2026
    Usyk never ducks anybody, and you know that.

    Parker should be next in the ring with Usyk. If that doesn't happen, he would be an attractive opponent for the winner of Justis Huni v Moses Itauma. Parker's good, but not that good, if you know what I mean. I think the likes of Huni & Itauma would be willing to take him on (after they've passed a decent test by facing each other).

    I can't see Usyk blatantly ducking Parker.

    No offense to Parker as he is a good fighter that deserves a shot but Usyk knows that he is better than him and have a fairly easy night's work against Parker.

    Would like for him to avenge the JJ fight and then fight DD. That would be ideal, imo.

    Usyk should retire.

    Meh, Parker's not that good. Barely scraped past Zhang who Kabayel destroyed. Got KOd by Joyce. Got beat by Chisora too. That's without going back too far. If he beat Dubois and Kabayel I would be interested. Otherwise it's bum of the month, run of the mill contender vs top 3-5 of the 21st century fighter.

    I guess you say the same stuff about MJ-Inoue, and I have the same feelings about that one

    Yes , usyk is better than anybody and so there is simply no need to fight anybody ;-)

    In the meantime european donated money to war torn ukraine works well and the WBC does not push usyk to take the mandatory against kabayel .

    Especially kabayel is a guy who usyk will refuse to fight in any case . But sure - he does not duck anybody ...
