    Frozen out? Fury wants to be frozen out. He wants them to fight one another.

    I say Parker vs Usyk will be a great fight.

    Rematch Whyte but put his new low blow strategy into action to counteract dirty tactics coming his way.

    The worst thing in the Whyte fight was the head clash...

    Would like to see him against Usyk or Hrgovic.

    Joseph Parker should fight Shannon Briggs but Parker is so bad I doubt he could even beat Briggs.

    I can foresee two possible paths for Parker in the UK:

    Path A - Chisora (coming off the kayo loss to Whyte), then Whyte (possibly coming off a loss to AJ).

    Path B - Hunter followed by Usyk after the latter gets his feet wet at h/w against someone like Price first.

    I think Path A would deliver Parker a couple of wins so that's the one I'd take.

    Path B results in inevitable defeat. Possibly at the first hurdle.

    Fast Eddie likes doing those h/w double-header shows. So you could have Usyk v Price + Parker v Chisora. Maybe even Takam v Hunter as well.

    A final thought I have on h/w machinations in the UK is don't rule out Joshua v Fury at Wembley in April. Fast Eddie has made lots of noise publicly about trying to make the Wilder fight. Meanwhile behind the scenes he may be trying to tempt Fury who has been very quiet.

    If Joshua v Fury gets made, Dillian Whyte comes back into play as a viable opponent for Parker next up. I think their first fight did well financially.

    I have to totally count Browne out if he fights Parker. I'd watch it of course but it's not the fight I'd like to see because Browne doesn't have the style that troubles Joe. However, Team Parker did say they were rebuilding and I like that they're starting over.

    I agree he is Top 5. And I believe he beats Wilder....

    Parker has fought good competition the last few years and after losing back to back fights there’s nothing wrong with him picking up a couple easy wins.

    I wouldn’t call Browne an easy win but Parker would be a big favorite and makes decent money in the process.

    So I see nothing wrong with Parker-Browne. Parker gets the win and by summer he’d be in position for another major fight
