If Fury is stripped of titles, Luis Ortiz isn't getting a shot at one of them.

    Parker is also ranked no.1 with the WBO and if Fury is stripped, he could take that belt easier than any of the other because the likely opponent is Ruiz, who I think is quite shite. I also think going after Ruiz would be a good way of Parker getting some exposure in the US, because if Joshua drops the IBF Parker-Pulev would be unlikely over there.

    As for AJ I believe his ideal path would be Vlad next, followed by 'in recess' Fury in Feb/Mar, then Haye at Wembley in the summer, then Wilder. Then if both have kept winning Joshua-Parker in a mega fight in 2018. Lot of if's in that scenario obviously.

    In a nutshell, if English isn't your 1st language, it means Ortiz won't be getting a shot at the top WBA trinket

    I agree Ruiz would be a great option for Parker ... and a chance to become more used to fighting outside NZ. I personally think Parker-Pulev would be a fascinating fight, I'd go out of my way to watch it if it ever happened, but I'm not sure if they could make it viable for Auckland, the only location it could be worthwhile.

    With AJ a lot depends on the way the Fury saga evolves, but I'm not sure Wilder is going to be able to wait. I can't see Wilder winning/ducking until late 2017/2018. Same with Haye ... I know from having shoulder issues myself that they are generally speaking difficult to fully recover from, Vitali was a different fighter post his issues. Haye going through the WBA mix isn't his style. If Parker thinks he needs more time, and Wald/AJ can't be for unification ... AJ/Haye in November makes sense to me even if the hype time is short.

    Because I live in north east Asia my perspective is different to a UK/US one, but AJ/Wilder would be a great fight for China (Macao or a major east coast city). AJ's gold medalist status and Wilders' zero with his knockout history would translate well into the Chinese market. The time zones are tricky, but if someone cultivated it skillfully it could generate some very very good numbers.

    People will steer clear of Ortiz way to dangerous .I pick him against all HWs right now .they will wait for him to get older.

    I want to see Luis Ortiz against Wlad. Joshua and Parker should fight each other.
