Look, I want to see it as much as anyone, but Usyk is not "ducking" Parker.

    Parker got dropped by Chisora and KO'd by Joyce. He even had a close fight with Ruiz jr. He definitely gives Usyk zero problems in Usyk's prime. He's no better than he was just put together some wins against old and fat opponents. Wilder was shot, Zhang is in his forties and this other hype job 'Brit' was even fatter than normal and on short notice.
    Only asterisk is Usyk being old now.
    Parker is also cautious.
    Dubious will just go for it and is a dangerous puncher. It's a dumb fight to make! Usyk should talk to Fury about how easy it was to beat Wilder in the third fight after stopping him in the second. Turns out if you give a puncher another 11 rounds to punch you in the head, they can do it!

    I would like the Parker fight next. But regardless, even if Usyk fights Parker, others will claim he is ducking the Dubois rematch due to the "body shot" that Dubois landed.

    If he beats both Parker and Dubois, then others will claim he is ducking Kabayel.

    I don't think he is ducking anyone.

    Then he should retire. If he fights and beats Dubois again and wants his final fight to be a mickey mouse fight vs an MMA guy, i have no issue with it as long as he relinquishes all belts. I do not want to see an MMA fighter get a title shot vs the heavyweight champion over deserving contenders like Parker, Kabayel, and even up and comers like Huni, Wardley etc.

    I hated when Fury risked his belt vs Nnganou so i won't be hypocritical about this. Usyk has already established himself as the best of his generation. If he feels like he has 2 good fights left in him, fight 2 of the the 3 guys mentioned and then retire. If he feels like his final fight should be vs an MMA guy, sure, but relinquish the titles first.

    It would be the 3rd time Usyk has rematched a British fighter who he had already beaten pretty clearly the 1st time.

    It's also the 4th British fighter Usyk has fought overall at Heavyweight.

    I'd rather see a new opponent a new challenging style and a non British Heavyweight for Usyk to face for a change.

    And beyond that he has also a honorable record of fighting witherspoon and chisora on his 8 fights , 5 opponents counter .

    We never had an undisputed with such a legacy , a pure sportsman , always fighting , never ducking .
