Parker hits major setback on road back to world title contention

Maybe Joseph Parker should attempt to avenge one of the loses in his career 'The fight against Anthony Joshua is most likely a difficult fight, to make right now. But a rematch vs Joe Joyce II, would be a much more easier fight to make'. I am not sure why? People are acting like Joseph Parker is some long time reigning World Champion, who deserves the entire Heavyweight Division and its fighters 'To present themselves before him as a opportunity. Parker is a solid fighter, but he does not command that sort of influence over this Heavyweight era and for many reasons'. I have stated this before? There have been three Heavyweight Mountains of this era 'Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. Oleksandr Uysk historically is quite a recent factor in the division, it was mainly those other three fighters who? Cleared out the Heavyweight Division, with Anthony Joshua statistically being the Champion who beat the most top level Heavyweights'. And that is why fighters such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 'Even after a loss in their careers, are still potential in a strong position to counter attack and find their way back into title contention or top level boxing. Because they have been two of the most premier Heavyweight Champion's and fighters in the sport for the past decade'. This has ultimately been their Heavyweight era 'All of the other fighters in the Heavyweight Division, are there to be match up on their undercard events. That is no disrespect, but you have the ask the question? Where have these other Heavyweight fighters been over the past decade?' Note: The facts of Heavyweight boxing history is, that all the Catalytic moments and fights of this Heavyweight era 'Have been directly caused by Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. They have been involved in all of the main catalytic fights of this era'. Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois I 'Was another catalytic moment in this Heavyweight era. And once again Joshua is connected to that event, and the tectonic shift in the competitive landscape. The potential rematch between Joshua vs Dubois II, is a even more vast boxing event than their first fight. If Anthony Joshua can avenge is loss to Daniel Dubois II, and become a 3 time World Heavyweight Champion. Then the impact of that level of performance, is a tectonic level event in the game'. Joseph Parker in terms of Historical significance, and esteem as a Heavyweight fighter of this era 'Parker has not really been that level of Heavyweight fighter. This is why when Parker makes a move in a room full of Heavyweight fighters, metaphorically not many fighters are flinching or stopping what they are doing to watch. To the same level that fighters are react to Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua making a move in the game'. In the immediate aftermath of Joshua vs Dubois I 'I did state that, Anthony Joshua did not deserve a rematch. And I presented multiple other heavyweight match ups, that made more sense to the boxing community, the sport and all the fighters involved'. Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II, Dillian Whyte vs Anthony Joshua II and Joseph Parker vs Anthony Joshua II ' The match up between Parker vs Joshua II 'Is not the greatest match up of that list, in terms of the story between the two fighters and theme. But compared to 90 to 95% of all other potential Heavyweight match ups that can be made right now, it is a mega fight'. To conclude: Joseph Parker and his team are in a position now, where they need to decide on whether they 'Maintain their tactical position, within this Heavyweight competitive landscape. And if they do this? They should be competing in ticking over fights'. Or if Parker and his team could continue move forward with his recent form 'They can still achieve great feats in his career, If regardless if his next fight is for a World title or against a Heavyweight fighter such as Anthony Joshua'. If Joseph Parker rematches Joe Joyce II 'This is high jeopardy fight. It is a insider's fight of the game, because? We all know why both fighters will be competing in this fight. I don't rate the fight as a ticking over fight for Joseph Parker, if he is he able to win and avenge his loss to Joyce II. Then I would rate that potential win as one of the best of his entire career' etc.

So who should he fight? He's got 1 fight left with Riyadh and Zhang wants the rematch soooo...

I'm calling Hearn, Warren and Turki shenanigans to manipulate fights for Fury, Dubois and Joshua. The last thing they need is a legit threat laying claim to the trash belts they're wanting to hold ransom. So who should he fight?

He's earned his position... but how does he cash it in without a fight? He's in an awkward position - he's probably due a 'keep busy' fight after two big fights, but he's not a big enough draw for anyone to watch. The titles are tied up so he can't get the biggest fights just yet. So it was either take on yet another contender or be inactive. I don't think inactivity was the right call.

A Super Series Heavyweight tournament would be amazing Seed 1 - Usyk Seed 2 -​ Fury Seed 3 -​ Dubois Seed 4 -​ Parker Seed 5 -​ Bakole Seed 6 -​ Zhang Seed 7 -​ Kabayel Seed 8 -​ AJ Not gonna happen but hypothetically with those seeding I'd flip Kayabel and AJ, Parker with Zhang just to give an extra storyline to R1. In that case R1 would be: 1.Usyk-8.Kayabel, 2.Fury-7.AJ (UK frenzy!), 3.Dubois-6.Parker (the younger competition by comparison), and 4.Bakole-5.Zhang (BIG power!). Followed by R2 of 1.Usyk-Bakole/Zhang, 2.Fury-Dubois/Parker

I’d like to see Dubois vs Parker next.

Too many deserving contenders and too few "world title" belts available to challenge for? What a novel approach! Parker; like DDD, is young enough to have been resurrected; will get his shot at something, because he's earned it. Ditto for Kayabal, Zhang and Bakole. A stacked division! Wouldn't a nice tourney be wonderful? These guys seem committed to fighting each other, and it would really make thigs right!

Maybe just wait until ddd fights Zhang and then you fight the winner?
