    I'm backing Joseph "Peter" Parker to edge this.

    This is a good match up and good 1st test for Usyk. I favor Parker in this fight.

    I would say Parker has faster hands and more power than Usyk. Also a very good chin, can't see Usyk knocking him out.
    I think it's a very good fight. We don't know enough about Usyk at heavy yet to call it IMO.

    Yep - I tend to agree.

    Makes a lot of sense

    AJ fights Pulev. Gives up WBO belt.

    Usyk fights Parker for that WBO title

    Hearn wins both ways

    Usyk vs Chisora for the WBO title, bring it on!

    If Chisora was higher ranked he might have a chance

    But Parker is #2 with WBO - and was just put there. Also the former champ.

    Bull**** they should let Joshua face both mandatory challengers hell usyks been a hwt for 15 minutes.
    Joshua should be allowed to face pulev with usyk parker being an elimination bout

    Isn't that pretty-much what they're doing?

    Usyk has to fight Parker first before AJ

    Bobby Arum aint rolling over for that..................the angle is to get Fury a real belt not the nostalgia "lineal".

    We will see how it plays out.

    IMO, Parker is done, he is simply going thru the motions......Boxing is 80% mental and 20% physical and I believe Parker is beyond the point of resurrecting his career.

    Hearn needs to gauge Usyk by throwing him in with Parker before letting his Cash Cow Joshua fight him... it's why Hearn always insisted on Wilder fighting Whyte first before a Joshua fight! Gauging!!

    If Usyk really wants a Joshua fight he better struggle with Parker to a close points win, if he dominates him he'll never get the fight, Hearn controls them both but if Usyk won't agree to a WWE scripted fight it'll never happen.

    Sadly, this may be true. Parker, while young, has had plenty of time to develop, some highs and lows, yet will never get rid of Barry and seems too placid to really make a good go of it.
