    Peter Parker could be drafted into the IBF top 15 I guess...

    I've never seen Stiverne as much more than what he is now TBH. He's always been a lazy, Don King manufactured hype job IMHO.

    Don't mind the Stiverne or Pulev fights. Besides for them not being remotely close to PPV worthy.

    If Parker was so interested why when Joshua has no opponent currently has he agreed a date with Dimitrenko?

    What about BJS lining up a fight with Bursak? Was everyone as critical?

    If he wanted the fight why sign up to face yet another bum?

    Lots of people moaning about Stiverne but not giving names on who would be an acceptable opponent who is actually available...

    I don't think people are interested in Saunders.
    AJ's matches are criticized because there are several matches that fans would love to see him in, he's got a lot more potential for excitement I guess.
    Saunders few care about.

    Yes, he's never been much good but shortly before Wilder exposed how bad he is, he would have been acceptable.

    A rumour has been Monaco, can't see it myself but stranger things have happened, Manchester has been hinted at.

    He went the distance with Wilder.

    Not uncommon to fight the same opponents as someone who would make for a bit fight at some point...

    Hearn has said Manchester due to the size of Arena. Also said debating Cardiff on a stacked show but would need some decent fights on the undercard.
