At least Bakole (IBF #3) got a pay day out of it. What did Ajagba (#4) get?
It will be the same situation as when Whyte pulled out of the Wallin fight with "an injury" then fought Fury for the title instead. Personally, I...
If others want to put Dereck in the top 10 off the strength of the Joyce win that is fine, but these Chisora fights feel a bit too much like...
Updated 2025/02/23: Parker stops Bakole; Kabayel stops Zhang Parker moves up to #4 Kabayel moves up to #7
1. Usyk 2. Dubois / Kabayel / Parker 5. Fury (if still rankable) 6. Joshua 7. Zhang 8. Hrgovic 9. Ruiz 10. Wardley

Granted you may argue that they were overhyped, but they were still ranked #3 and #2 by the WBC. The ranking ladder has to override our personal...
The other problem is the sheer inactivity of the man. I don't blame him for a lot of it, but it would solve a lot of issues if he now fights once...
It is as you say, but unfortunately the WBC have also been doing their part in stalling him (on behalf of someone) He beat #3, Makhmudov, and...
I would have agreed if the fight Parker had just been involved in was against Dubois rather than an unprepared Bakole. That isn't Parker's fault...
Some do it better than others though, no?
I agree that Parker should also be in line for a title shot. But I don't know what you are basing it off if you don't rate Kabayel stopping a guy...
The point being he adjusts his style to what is needed. Maybe you are correct that Usyk will box his head off, but saying he can't box from the...
you are mad He's done more than any other contender in about 30 years
