    Right, I think he's still around the Whyte, Chisora level of fighter.

    Parker gave a career best performance, he came in great shape, highly motivated and with the blue print on how to beat Wilder courtesy of Fury. However, let's not forget Wilder is 38, had boxed 1 round in what? 2 years and his timing as a result looked terrible, take away his ability to land his devastating power and he's that boxer that lacked fundamentals and had poor technique. Credit to Parker, but yea he's top 10 but nothing more. He'd beat Whyte and Chisora if they were to fight tomorrow but loses to Joyce again and would lose to Zhang. Dubois is a 50/50 fight and after his borerest with AJ last time they fought, I don't think anyone wants to see the rematch.

    Congratulations, Kiwi. I must admit my confidence in Parker had wained seeing how he approached the Joyce fight. But, you stuck to your guns---big thumbs up.

    I want to see Parker rematch Ruiz Jr. for the WBC mandatory position. But that relies on the WBC not acting like dick heads...so there's that.

    But I think the rematch would be perfectly timed for both fighters who are both coming off good wins.

    WBC is a very likely route for Parker now

    I truly think he has turned a corner. FOCUSED AGGRESSION is what we can expect - and he is a dangerous man

    Four options:

    1. Ruiz rematch for the WBC mandatory spot.
    2. DuBois.
    3. Kabayel.
    4. Whyte rematch.

    I think March 9th will be the next target date. AJ and Parker co-headlining again.

    It is possible Parker may face AJ - though it seems unlikely

    I see Parker vs. Zhang or Ruiz or Whyte - or even Ngannou.

    All good options

    I’m happy for Parker. He’s a good dude and finally has a great team around him.

    Ruiz makes sense. Risk-reward equation works for Parker, with no belts opening up
    for a while.

    Ruiz can cash-out. But still a bit of a dark horse if he can get motivated.

    Possible mismatch - but the 'unfinished business' element can be marketed.
    And most casual fans would know Ruiz's name at least.

    Ruiz Mexican-American.

    He beats everybody on that card imo including Joshua

    He should take Ajs scalp then gun for Fury/usyk winner. The has looked better than ever since losing to Joyce
