    WTF? Doesn't anyone want to fight? Are they all becoming accountants somewhere?

    All them belts will eventually feed their way back to the true King, the Gypsy King

    Forget about mandatory positions, $$$ talks. Nothing else.

    Nobody going near Hrgovic, too high risk reward. Whyte or AJ can fight him after they get sparko'd.

    Ive posted before how parker has no desire to fight top competition to become champion, he just wants easy money in easy fights. Next in line in the ibf rankings is joshua then yoka but i wont be shocked for yoka to turn it down too. Imagine refusing to fight someone to be next in line to fight for a belt, its bizzare. Most of these boxers today dont enjoy their craft.

    Damn I didn't expect that. Hrgovic really is the Boogey Man of the division right now.

    Yoka is next in line, will he take it? I'm not sure he will.

    Then it's Joyce who's already the WBO mandatory so Warren might not risk it. Plus he's injured.

    Then it's Kabayel and Gassiev maybe one of them will risk it.

    They end up losing momentum and losing out on paydays.

    Ortiz spent a few years rebuilding himself after the last Wilder KO loss. He has some momentum back and someone like Hrgovic can ruin that.

    Hopefully Yoka won't duck.

    Is Hrgovic really THAT good such that grown ass men will not consider getting into a ring with the man?
    Seriously?

    I had no respect for Parker before the Chisora fight; I got a little respect for him for his decent performence but now I'm back to total and complete disrespect for Parker. The man has no guts, no heart, no motivation to be great. He's dead to me now.

    Going to need to find another guy that isnt already in the position Hrg is going for.

    The orgs suck, who cares. It doesnt force the champion to fight anyone. It forces the champ to decide if he wants to fight that one.

    Yoka won't duck. Poor from Parker though.

    Has Parker got an injury too?
    First it was Ortiz and now Parker?

    WTF is going on in this sport?

    I'm a bit surprised. Unless he's going down the WBO route and is lining up a fight with Joyce? Otherwise, unless it's against a tougher opponent, I'm very disappointed.

    He should fight Joyce then. Would also like to see him vs Wilder but its probably unrealistic
