    To determine who gets Usyk for his last fight.

    Parker doesn't deserve the shot if he cant beat Fury. Fury is the only guy in the division that would give Usyk a competitive fight IMO. Better to see Usyk/Fury III then a one sided Usyk beatdown if Parker can't beat Fury.

    No, Usyk should drop his belt and gift it to Parker and fight Fury in the meantime for a good money fight. After he beats Fury again he should unfiy with Parker to be 4x undisputed

    Fury hasn't beaten a top 10 contender since 2022. Let him go fight some actual contenders or atleast Joshua before entertaining a third fight with Usyk.

    Parker on the other hand has the best winning streak in the division other than Usyk himself, and is clearly the most deserving challenger.

    Parker deserves it over Fury in my eyes. Also, Parker and Fury are good friends so I’m not sure they would fight each other unless ordered to do so for a mandatory spot or title defense, etc.

    Fury has done NOTHING to deserve a third fight with Usyk.

    It would be an injustice to make Parker wait any longer, he should be next for Usyk.

    If Fury wants to raise his standing, let him fight a couple of contenders first.

    No it should not be.

    Jesus Christ.

    I don't care about big money fights. Usyk has made plenty of money vs Fury and Dubois. Time for actual defenses vs worthy challengers. Not that Dubois was totally undeserving but it should not come at the expense of the more deserving Parker.

    Retirement is fine with me too. But too many rematches. Mentioning Chisora or Fury is absurd.

    There's no logic in this argument whatsoever.

    Parker is the next mandatory for Usyk and in any case, he has earned the fight. Dubois sure wasn't keen on fighting him.

    Mirror most of above really.

    Can't see Parker V Fury ever happening due to their friendship but I'd back Fury to decision Parker if they fight.

    However, Parker has actually shown that he deserves a title shot rather than Fury who just talks so much crap.

    May be too old to fight Parker safely at that age, would suck to lose to someone you'd slap in your prime. Good business mind though

    No it shouldn't.

    Parker earned his shot by fighting top contenders.

    Fury hasn't beat a ranked contender since 2022 and arguably lost his last 3 fights.

    Fury has been stalling the division for too long it's time he got in the pecking order and let others get their shot.

    Its just absurd for Parker. Parker should have been in there with Usyk on Saturday and now people are demanding that Parker should prove himself all over again to get a shot.
