    lol I agree with Joe 100% as far as him being next in line for a shot! If anyone deserves a shot next, it’s him.

    I wish Parker had fought Kabayel on the undercard instead of that Okolie crap we got but yeah Parker deserves a shot at the title more than anyone else.

    But, I think Usyk would shut him out and win every round to a boring decision win. I'd love to see Parker come to fight aggressively and take risks but I just can't see it happening.

    Maybe but let's see it. There were people like Andre Ward dismissing Usyk's chances vs Fury 4 years ago saying Fury is too big. We saw that wasn't the case.

    We won't know till we see it. There was no reason why Dubois should have gotten the rematch when he pulled out vs Parker. Parker should have gotten this fight today and Dubois should have gotten the winner.

    Parker could end up putting a competitive effort. We just don't know.

    Usyk would be heavy favorite but, I wouldn’t count Parker out, I could see him making a fight of it.

    Agree with Parker. If anybody is next in line it is him. I think he's the clear #2 now and he's done the work for it.

    Parker should absolutely be next. He's earned it.

    I agree with Parker. Was disappointed to hear his name mentioned last by Usyk with no enthusiasm.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Usyk wins and wins easily. But I'll take a fight like that over some **** we've already seen multiple times.

    People said the same about the new Dubois, Parker is a world-level top 5 guy, but he doesn't have what it takes to beat Usyk, nobody does. I think Joe gets stopped late after being outboxed for 9/10 rounds.

    Fury is the clear #2 IMO. Parker is certainly the most deserving however, with Kabayel closely behind.

    Dubois had zero chance of beating Uysk. Levels above he is....Parker doesnt have anything that will challenge Uysk. Age is the only opponent Uysk has to fear imo
