    Its a bit funny and naive to call people who take a sober look haters or trolls . Really strange . Nobody here is a "hater"

    If Itauma fights Usyk next year it’ll be like Maywheather schooling Canelo.

    Correct. Itauma has an attitude though, some humbling would do good.

    It probably does. He's such a nice, classy and likeable guy and I hope Usyk does one of two things: Retires or fights one more time and if he does I want the opponent to be J-Park

    I'd like to see him fight Parker and then go out on a performative match such as Wilder, Pereira, or Beterbiev. Why not have a swan song?

    J-Park and then retire from boxing and maybe have a crossover MMA fight or go into movies the later of which is what his manager wants him to do. But personally I think he should just call it a day now

    Agreed. Absolutely hate it too. It's absolutely ridiculous to be allowed to "win" a belt outside of the ring. The interim champ thing needs to disappear. When the champ vacates/can't defend his title, the belt should be vacant and two fighters should fight for it. Plus, I doubt the interim champ enjoys being just handed the belt either. I know I wouldn't if it was me. I would feel as if I hadn't truly earned it, and plus, it takes away that precious moment of winning it inside the ring. The whole thing just sucks for everyone.

    Parker has said he'd rather fight Usyk for it and lose than just get handed it.

    But that's why they get the email/paper champ moniker until they have a legit win/defense of the title.

    Unusual for Chisora who normally will take on anyone but to be fair to him, he has one last fight so he probably wants to choose his opponent carefully for once, and he has every right to do so to be honest. It would be a shame to have his last moment in the ring potentially on the canvas unconscious. :lol: Can understand why he said no.

    Parker said that he agreed on to fight Chisora but he said no and that Chisora is targeting a title fight for his 50th.

    We don’t know, he could KO 1 usyk, we won’t know if the fight doesn’t happen and I’m very doubtful it does. One thing is for certain he’s got talent but has also had flattering matchmaking

    Kinda glad he said no. I thought Parker won the first Chisora fight, although I know a lot of people don't. And then Parker demolished him in the second... it was only Chisora's willpower that prevented a stoppage. Not something I'd want to see again.

    I'd love to see Chisora go out in style against a similar kind of fighter. I've always wanted the 3rd Whyte fight but after that performance against Itauma, I've changed my mind. Ruiz could be a good opponent, could be an absolute war depending on what Ruiz turns up. Miller would be fireworks too, and not just during the fight. Or maybe Ortiz... a farewell fight for both of them. He'd probably demolish Wilder nowadays too, which I guess would be a nice way to go out considering he can then say he beat a former world champion. Plenty of options... I don't want to see someone who has already convincingly beaten him before like Parker or Usyk.

    Yeah I agree, he is also one step away from a title fight himself being the top ranked contender with the IBF.

    So say Usyk chooses to retire he could potentially see himself in a title fight against Ajagba, Sanchez or even Joshua. Ajagba and Sanchez could even be winnable fights for him and Joshua is the payday.

    Ajagba could be decent. Sanchez, not sure. I would've loved to see Joshua-Chisora at one time but for his last fight, it would probably end badly for him, which I wouldn't wanna see. Plus, I just can't see that happening, they're way too close as friends. Chisora definitely wouldn't say no but I'm not sure Joshua would want it on a personal level.
