    If Joyce gets through Takam, should Joyce and Parker have a fight as they are both next line in the wbo rankings?

    If they did fight, who you think would win?

    Parker deserves nothing based on his matches since losing to AJ

    However Joyce will smother him and confuse the living hell out of Parker

    I think Joyce should have to face someone like Parker at least before being a mandatory though. Dubois and Takam aren't proof of anything/

    Parker is at least Chisora level, if not a bit better on his day.

    Wasn't better on match day

    Though clearly the judges thought differently

    Joyce probably should have to fight another name before getting a shot in fairness

    However Dubois was highly ranked and Takam is about as good as it gets currently

    I think he could have fought Chisora instead.

    Tough one to call for me.

    You expect Parker to be far too quick for the slow Joyce but equally you expect Joyce aggression and constant pressure to cause Parker major problems (Parker struggled to deal with Whytes aggression and physicallity).

    Parker isn't really that quick. I thought Chisora beat him personally.

    Parker is up there with best for quickest hands with Usyk and Ruiz.

    I had Parker beating Chisora.

    I heard this Takam fight might be made a final eliminator for the WBO, if so that's quite a goofy move obviously but not at all surprising.

    I see a very boring 12 rnd hug fest. Parker will try and slip jab, throw a punch and lunge in for a hug. That’s what we will see for 12 rnds

    Yes, Parker was landing more and the cleaner shots putting combinations together whilst chisora was missing a lot.

    Parker is widely considered by most on here to have verybquick hands even by those don't rate him highly.

    I have a difficult time seeing anyone beating Joe Joyce right now.

    I also thought he deserved the gold medal.

    He's the goods.

    But he has a very short window left. Started really late. But he is in his prime now.
