Every one of the belts plays "favorites" They favor whoever in the world is willing to pay their sanctioning fees and play the game......
Personally, I'd like to see Parker versus the winner of the Povetkin-Whyte rematch. That won't happen if it's Whyte though. Whyte was lucky to get past Parker and he knows it.
So if he beats Fa he fights an over the hill gate keeper and that earns a title shot? This is by definition what's wrong with the heavyweight division .
Usyk is held in much higher esteem than Parker, who has failed in his step-up attempts already. I'm not sold on Usyk at HW and don't think Joyce will tell us but so much, but the winner getting a shot at someone is okay. Parker needs a top 10 win.
This fight will tell us a lot about Parker. My inclination is to say that he should beat Fa clearly, but I'm not 100% sure since it's been a while. Chisora is always tough as nails but usually doesn't win the big ones. My feeling is that should Parker beat Fa, he'll win a decision over Chisora in a tough fight.
I'd much rather see that, too. It will be Whyte that wins due to age and covid. I'd love to see Dubois Chisora rather than Parker Chisora after Dubois has a couple of outings to ease back in and gain some confidence
Chisora has been past his prime for a long time. He was at his best around the time he fought Haye, Fury and Klitschko, but just came up against very good fighters then. He's entertaining to watch and sells tickets. Will always give it a go.
