    Unless Parker can book a big money fight with Fury, Usyk, AJ......
    He should line up a few mid level KOs & continue to make himself relevant.
    There is no upside to losing to Zhang, Whyte or Joyce. If he's had an epiphany
    and found the key to victory, great, otherwise put on a KO show.

    Joyce is damaged goods and old now, he's a glorified gatekeeper at this point.

    I'd quite like a rematch with Joyce next.
    It's a great crossroads fight for both guys.s

    If Joyce wins he's right back in the mix of things.

    If Parker wins he's due another title shot.

    If Joyce loses he probably retires, but if Parker loses it doesn't really affect him at all since he's already lost to him once.

    Ortiz is a nobody and Fury is pretty much too.

    The same people who'll claim Wilder was shot at 38 are the same who'll claim that Ortiz is a valid win for Wilder, and better than Parker, despite Ortiz being old and not accomplishing anything of note.

    It's quite hilarious how spectacularly Wilder's whole career accomplishments have fallen into disrepute following his and Fury's last fights.

    There's literally no defending his p___ poor resume at this stage.

    Less loses than AJ, Parker and Whyte

    But a gatekeeper? Stop it!

    Yeah, it really depends on what's left of Joyce physically and mentally after being taken apart twice by Zhang.
