USYK vs PARKER - Making Usyk Fight Different

Not going to happen imo. If Uysk fights on (which I'm not convinced he will) I believe it's for the big pay day on offer from the rematch with Fury. If he was to fight on beyond the rematch (assuming he beats Fury again) then it would be AJ again. Parker won't generate anywhere near the money he will get for fighting Fury again or AJ.

 

Parker is a great fight for Usyk. But yeah it’s not happening. the fight to make the only fight right now is Fury 2 for both men.

 

I actually think Kabayel would be an equally interesting fight even though Usyk would beat him. But yeah Usyk-Parker would be interesting.

 

Parker has done the hard yards for a shot to be fair, but it’s not the money fight. The belts will break and he could pick up one.

 

Usyk isn't that type of guy, I think he will continue but only because he's not terrified of losing his 0, and for morale for his country

 

The carrot of 40 million a fight makes continuing tempting....if it was a 2 million fight against Parker he would be done

 

I'd love to see that fight. Be interesting to see how their styles mesh and Parker has earned it more than anyone else tbh

 

Parker is a top lad for sure. And he absolutely deserve his HW shot, but he is nowhere near Usyk, nowhere near AJ, and nowhere near Fury in my book. He just doesn't have the tools to threaten them with anything.
He is still top 5 fighter of this generation with ease. And I'm also putting him ahead of Wilder.

If you look at the overall resume and big fights, Parker and AJ as the 1 and 2 with the best fights, and the best fights where it's matter, not 2-3 years later than it should have happened.
All the credit to Parker, and he should get his title shot this year. If Usyk doesn't want to defend his belt, aka rematch with Fury, he should just drop all the titles, and rematch Fury for nothing. Didn't Fury threaten to do the same, right?

Parker, Hrgovic, Kabayel, all deserve their shots, and shouldn't be forced to wait for years.

 

Imo a very good fight. Usyk will beat Parker but it will be a competitive fight. Usyk has normally closer fights with guys his size. Parker is a former champ, still young and a top 5 fighter.
Imo very good scalp. If usyk also fights hrgovic (after hrgovic destroyes dubois, future champ after usyk and joshua) and beats him he will have cleaned out two complete divisions and then he would also have the depth at heavyweight. Clear top 5 heavy of all time after that.
