    Thats not the point . If usyk is the better man he of course deserves to win and build his legacy . The point is we all want usyk to fight these guys and not only talk .

    Parker really deserves the next shot, not sure he'll get it though

    This would be best for Paker because he cannot beat Usyk.

    If Usyk keeps to his word and has 2 fights, I could see Dubois and Parker. If he beats both and retires undefeated, he will have essentially cleared the division and have nothing else to prove. I'd like to see him fight Kabayel, but not at 40 years old.

    Usyk is not super-human, and anything is possible

    Parker can beat Usyk

    I take a middle position. The reason I have been lobbying for Parker for a very long time is because I think he is the legit #2 man in the world, and the best fight the best.

    That being said I do favor Usyk.

    I think Parker is good enough that he has earned the right to shut us all up. And as you probably know, I think he did long before he beat Bakole.

    Usyk has to be the favourite against Parker, but Parker has a decent chance of winning the upset unlike a lot of what the pundits and people on social media are saying, that its a forgone conclusion.

    Though I do have to say that it looks like the Parker hype train is finally starting to build after his resurgence, nothing like a one punch KO of a "bogeyman" to get people jumping on board.

    WBO president Gustavo Olivieri told Sky Sports: "The WBO ordered the enforcement of its mandatory in the heavyweight division, Usyk-Parker, to be discharged accordingly."

    But he added: "Not withstanding the foregoing, if a petition is lodged with the WBO requesting that the mandatory be 'stayed' until the unification takes place, that is a decision to be rendered by the Championship Committee.

    "Per the discretion conferred to the Committee by our governing regulations, such request may be granted."

    Here we go :cool:

    "Petition" means here in reality of course raise funding . We can be sure the money will flow to keep WBO silent and not forcing the mandatory .

    Now AJ is injured until August

    So either Usyk or DDD are the only show in town for Parker to aim at
