Is PARKER Being SideLined??

Fury, AJ and Wilder? I see 4 ducks in this pond. Usyks just continuing the status quo of this disgraceful era.

I have the unrealistic dream of a HW champ fighting a new elite fighter every 6 months. Took it for granted when Wlad did it. Might never happen again.

 

Wlad and elite opponents lolz

Those brothers almost destroyed the HW division

 

I don't think the WBO ever intended on actually forcing the mandatory or Usyk to drop the title. They just wanted to ride the wave of public opinion and throw their weight around a bit.

Sucks for Parker but that is the game. Parker needs to start demanding these things, he is a bit too passive and nice, he needs a bolshy team around him to get it done.

I can see the Kabayel fight next, which kind of sucks for both of them as they are both on the cusp of well deserved titles/titleshots. I think Parker and Kabayel should both take relatively light touches to keep things ticking over while they wait for their title shots.

 

As much as I give wlad stick for his style, it was refreshing to see the Heavyweight champion fighting everyone and not waiting on the sidelines for rematches

 

Parkers redemption has been great but I honestly think the promotions don't think he brings in enough money
Hence why they don't push for him more

 

They don't have the ability to. Parker is currently the 4th best regarded HW champ. They aren't going to cut Parker loose but theres no ability to compel Parker into the mix.

The thing with Kabayel is these guys were competing for title shots.......in like 2017. Parkers got into the mix nearly a full decade and has had a full career at the top flight before Kabayel even got his oppurtunity. Thats how egregiously slow this division is going.

 

I recall people (Hearn?) saying before that Parker's style was boring and he needs to be more exciting if he wants the big fights. Been a criticism of his since the Joshua fight. I was hoping that the Bakole KO might help get him some of the bigger fights.

I think in one of Parker's vlogs he alluded to the fact that he need more power and to be more exciting, and that because he wasn't that was the reason he wasn't getting fights after the Zhang win.

 

I used to agree with you when I was a kid. I've reconsidered. Those of us that felt that way in the 2010s were wrong and are paying the price for our sins. We wanted excitement and toxicity and we got it.

Vitali and the WBC is a different story. While hes kinda the 5th duck at least he sorta had a good reason. He was clearing his way for his brother to be the clear cut champ. Thats as noble a sacrifice as any. I'm not going to pretend he was really a champ at that time but I'm not going to blame him for "almost destroying" the division either.

 

Can you post the announcment? Haven't seen that yet.

 

Weren't you the same one that said Dubois knocked Usyk out? So in your view getting revenge for the loss against the man who vastly improved is an easy fight? LOL.

 

How? By being head and shoulders above everybody and dominating them? By beating every top contedner? That's the definition of being the great champion. Well, Wlad was, Vitali was just feasting on second tier guys.

 

Time to put this twat on ignore, stalker

 

You know you won't do that, you're keep coming back like a battered wife, lol.

 

I don't think I'm wrong

The era was terrible
