Dubois V Parker is the HW fight to make next.

Is this the same Parker that went life and death with leadfoot Joyce. I'm an aussie and im not in any way fooled by another smoke and mirrors act in Parker. yes joyce beat a sick joseph parker,he had a bad chest infection,i

“If Dubois wants a dance partner soon – turn on the lights and I could be that dance partner for him." "I was told there might be an opportunity to fight December 21. I’m pushing for it,” Parker continued. “I was looking at fighting someone like Agit Kabayel. Zhang wants a rematch but I think the perfect opponent is Daniel Dubois." https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/boxing/boxing-joseph-parker-calls-out-daniel-dubois-after-win-over-anthony-joshua-eyes-december-fight/IBDDQLVM2FE73KVOPF5HMY5T6A/

Unless a Usyk vs Fury 2 is next, no reason why titles shouldn't collide :boxing:

Sorry but it's Zhang v ddd next, unless Josh exercises rematch. Zhang is with warren, and Warren understands ddd was given a lifeline and understand Zhang deserves one too. Zhang will give Parker a shot at his title, if Zhang beats ddd Ahhh...the politics of dancing. Parker is in the jockey seat as interim champ in waiting for when Usyk scatters the belts after beating Fury or Fury binning a belt and gifting it to Parker if he beats Usyk. Parker beat Zhang going away. He'd do it even easier against an even older, more tired fighter as would Doobie. But i get what you say about Zhang Doobie and Fury being in house fights Fisheyes would rather make than let Parker ruin the party. Take the chicanery out of the picture and Doobie v Oilskin as a fight between styles and we got ourselves a cracker of a boxing match !!!

Not buying it. Doobie doesnt need to beat up on a tired ol Chinaman to cement a legacy, he needs to try it on against an in form Samoan ex champ in his prime.

Bakole or Agit all day long

Because Parker lost to josh and barely best zhang, and id pick to lose to Zhang in rematch. Zhang also best joyce who best ddd. Plus Zhang is 41, give dog a bone. Not buying it. Doobie doesnt need to beat up on a tired ol Chinaman to cement a legacy, he needs to try it on against an in form Samoan ex champ in his prime.

But Parker beat Zhang so why should Zhang get a title shot v Doobie first ? Because Parker lost to josh and barely best zhang, and id pick to lose to Zhang in rematch. Zhang also best joyce who best ddd. Plus Zhang is 41, give dog a bone.

Parker fight bakole, let zhang fight ddd for title. Parker might best ddd, but id bet on ddd But Parker beat Zhang so why should Zhang get a title shot v Doobie first ?

I'd love to see Doobie try to best Parker but i reckon Andy Lee would have a better gameplan than Ben Davison. One that sees Parker victorious and Dubois bewildered. Parker fight bakole, let zhang fight ddd for title. Parker might best ddd, but id bet on ddd

Zhang v ddd. DDD would best parker, I'm not making ddd underdog again, I was even reluctant to make him underdog against josh. I'd love to see Doobie try to best Parker but i reckon Andy Lee would have a better gameplan than Ben Davison. One that sees Parker victorious and Dubois bewildered.

When you need to bring excuses into the conversation then we've reached our conclusion. If he was sick he shouldnt have fought. He did fight...and he lost. Three succesive low tier fights for momentum and then followed with a Fury busted shot Wilder for name recognition. Barely sc****d by another lead foot in Zhang. I give Joyce credit for busting Dubios eye...fair play. This is a different Dubios...while you are talking the same Parker...who by the way wouldnt have been anywhere without hometown cooking. He got a title in a fight most observers say he lost to Ruiz. Without that he wouldn't have parlayed into th AJ fight which he lost...at his so called peak....earning money that he the parlayed into a laundering business for NZ gangsters. I think you need to look into the difference between finding reasons and making excuses. Get back to me when you do and we'll continue the conversation. Thanks for your time Champ!

Yep... the very same Parker who fought sick and got splattered against an in form Juggernaut who forced Dubois to bend the knee. A lot has changed since the glory days of Big Jugs being the guy everyone was ducking. When you need to bring excuses into the conversation then we've reached our conclusion.

If Hunter can outbox Bakole, Parker sure A.F can. I think Kabayel breaks down and shreds Bakole with body shots. But don't you think Martin has improved considerably? I'm just looking at what I've seen since that fight. Which, it should be said, Hunter is a very skilled boxer, and Bakole did not do a bad job, it was a close fight. I do think Parker is better than Hunter, I think he has better movement I definitely agree with that.

That depends. We have to assume these guys are learning. So when we see their latest fights we realize that Parker really has come into his own, something you mentioned and I agree with. But I think Bakole particularly is much more dangerous than in the past. He lost a fight to Mike Hunter who boxed him very nicely and I think he really learned from that as evidenced by how he was unrelenting against Jared Anderson. A guy who is willing to follow the tea leaves so to speak, and if they are Martin B, but probably understand that letting a boxer off the hook is of no no. I think Bakole applies pressure and a much more measured fashion since Hunter managed to out box him. If Hunter can outbox Bakole, Parker sure A.F can. I think Kabayel breaks down and shreds Bakole with body shots.

Is this the same Parker that went life and death with leadfoot Joyce. I'm an aussie and im not in any way fooled by another smoke and mirrors act in Parker. Parker is better now. He was a late bloomer. When he fought Joyce Joyce was better, Joyce got scratched when the blueprint for beating him became common knowledge.

Oh sure he exposed Big Mak and the Cuban Flash as pretenders but Parker shut out and ended Wilders career then derailed the Zhang hype train. Kabayel beating Bakole would put him into the title conversation but as is only Doobie and Oilskin are for real. That depends. We have to assume these guys are learning.

Bakole This thread was so idealic, so nice... We have the upcomer who can slug and just learned to play defense versus the guy who has redeemed himself in his Twilight... And you had to mention that dreaded name! The very word makes the ground trouble with Scottish bagpipe sounds... That is where bakole hole lives right? Unlike Zhang, who cannot move after the first round or so, bakole can fight for 12 rounds. He is indeed a very real danger and I fear he will be avoided. I believe he could probably beat dd and Parker at this point. ​​​​​
