    I only asked because you generally seem to be (in my opinion) awfully harsh on Kabayel. In my view, there is no doubt whatsoever that Parker is most deserving, and Kabayel is right behind him. I'm not even sure who I'd consider third most deserving, simply because those two are head and shoulders above the rest in terms of "deserving" a crack at Usyk.

    Fans of almost every fighter seem to think I'm harsh on their boy, so at least I'm consistent, I guess!

    In my mind Parker is a long way clear of Kabayel unless you overrate Makh and Sanchez who haven't really done an awful lot to be considered more than low level gatekeepers at best.

    I'd agree, there's nobody close to them - again, though, to my mind that's because the division looks pretty thin and in transition between eras... And unless good fights get made, it'll take a while for it to start to feel like it's taking shape again.

    I don't have any massive beef with Kabayel, but I'm not a fan of guys who look talented wasting years (or careers) fighting bums to protect zeros - and Kabayel has that in his past, but I'd been happy he seemed to be moving away from it... This fight feels like one step back in the grave - let's hope it isn't!
