    How are the odds looking? Wider than Wilder vs Parker at roughly 4 to 1?

    They will. I don’t think he can get around it. If I were him, I’ll drop all the belts and do whatever I want for my last fight

    No the reasons were two fold:

    1. he wanted his belt back
    2. People like you said he won controversially the last time. He wanted to make it very clear who is the boss and he did in style. You can now turn over the page ok?

    I still want to see that fight, maybe next year.

    Usyk vs Parker next is the fight to make.

    Kabayel needs to come to his senses and fight Klitchko. He will never make that money again and he is not beating Usyk.

    I wish Parker could've fought Dubois I'm confident he would've beaten him and that would've gained even more hype to Parker/Usyk.

    Parker is the only Heavyweight that deserves his shot he's been waiting for like 2 years and had to sit out for a Fury rematch and Dubois not fighting him.

    If Parker doesn't get his shot then it's a farce IMO.

    Fury hasn't beaten a Top 10 contender in over 3 years and you can argue he's 0-3 in his last 3 fights, so no.

    Eh, I still have him at number two. He's only ever lost to Usyk and he's also the closest anyone has come to beating him.

    Just wish he'd actually make up his mind about retirement.

    He might be 2 in terms of ability, maybe, but its relatively easy to maintain a near flawless record when you are rarely fighting top fighters.

    He has had a shocking lack of fights vs top contenders. 1 vs Wlad, 2 vs Chisora, 3 vs Wilder and 1 vs a fading Whyte.

    No Kabayel, no Povetkin, no Zhang, no Joyce, no AJ, no Bakole etc. None. I would not expect him to fight everyone of these guys but given how long he has been around

    Junior Fa says Parker is sadly out of luck

    And that Usyk will vacate the WBO
