    Agreed. Parker is at worst a 50/50 chance and if the odds favour Itauma, Parker is well worth backing.

    Nope. He will be elevated to the status of a full title holder.

    Both Parker and Kabayel have earned there Title shots and both fighters would be mad to fight each other to face Usyk rather than just waiting for for there respective Title shots ! It’s always the same on here with members being very fickle and forgetting very quickly on here how a once highly rated fighter on this very forum is disregarded as soon as they take a loss with the fighter who defeated them not then getting the credit that’s due. Let’s put it like this then,name a fighter more deserving of a Title shot before either Parker or Kabayel ?

    If they watched this they would reconsider:

    Why? Just because it would put them in touch with their humanity again. If they ever had it.

    In what world is Itauma the next in line for a title shot after beating journeymen and Whtye. It would be nuts if any of his team think he's ready for Parker nevermind Usyk. Just terrible managing of the kid if those fights happen next for him.

    Itauma vs Parker will be a competitive fight. I haven’t seen enough of Itauma to be convinced he wins, but could he? Of course anything is possible

    No. Parker has good defense, watch him against the southpaw puncher Zhang. He survived prime Joshua without going down.

    He's not slow and faded like Whyte.

    He destroyed all his opponents early. I don't think Parker is much better than them.

    Teddy Atlas says Itauma stops Usyk. If he can stop Usyk, I don't want to imagine what scary things he would do to Parker.

    :lol: Teddy Atlas has a history of being very, very poor at predicting fights.

    Give him an extension imo.

    If he fights someone else stripe him by all means, but an injury should be respected.

    He probably knows about boxing more than most of us.
