    If someone loses to Whyte, it proves how a dreadful boxer he is.

    Kabayel is looking a lot like "if Usyk wasn't in the picture he would have two belts" good right now.

    Parker has had an amazing renaissance, and he also showed that Wilder was truly finished on the world level before Zhang did, but let's be real, he was life n death against Chisora (I thought he deservedly won both) and brutally stopped only 3 years ago. Kabayel is pristine, he has looked the part without fail against everyone. And I know someone's gonna say Kabayel struggled as well, but he was a 15 fight novice when he fought Chisora, he's supposed to struggle, and Parker was a 30+ fight former world champion who had more struggles 5 years later.

    I just think Kabayel is in the lead. I can say that I believe they are 2 and 3 (or 3 and 4 if you still rank Fury). I think they both beat Dubois and Joshua.

    Whyte was a perennial Top 5 contender for 5 years straight. No shame in losing to prime Dillian.

    Parker needed 2 attempts to beat Derek i don't want to hear it. He got floored in the first fight and should've lost; took 12 rounds to discover the uppercut. Parker lost to Joyce, meanwhile Kabayel is undefeated

    Kabayel stopped Zhang, got hurt less compared to Parker

    Dominated a younger Chisora instead of a 37 year old Chisora

    Ajagba just drew with Bakole so the Sanchez win is definitely better than that

    It was also a very controversial fight. Whyte might suck now, but at the time he was top ten and he still has a better resume than Kabayel does.

    Undefeated because Kabayel hasn't fought anyone outside of Chisora and Zhang at his very oldest. He didn't fight Whyte, Joyce, AJ, Wilder or even Ruiz.

    Parker still has those wins whether you believe he deserves them or not. We ain't here to play revisionist history. He's simply more proven with a better resume.

    Would Kabayels style potentially cause issues for a lot of heavyweights? Maybe. But until he fights consistently better opposition it's all speculation.
