Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Would Consider Filip Hrgovic IBF Final Eliminator

[joe strong]

I just don’t see enough money in this fight for Team Parker. High risk low reward. A title fight is a long ways away so I would expect Parker to be looking for a bigger name to fight. Even A Chisora rematch nets him more. I really think Hrgovic is in a tough place. Somebody in the top 15 will take the fight but it might not be anyone in the top 10...

I would take the fight if I was team Parker. The titles will become vacant if the winner of Joshua v Fury goes into a rematch against most probably Charles Martin if looking at the IBFs ratings.

Yoka or Kabayel most likely.

Yoka or Kabayel most likely.

both those guys in the top 10 & could possibly be the opponent. Team Yoka could win a purse bid & bring it to France. Heck they could just make a deal for it to go there without a purse bid. Paris is where a Yoka/Hrgovic fight should take place. Kabayel brings nothing but does have a win over Chisora. Kabayel has not had a meaningful fight since that win while Chisora has had several big fights. Top Rank has done nothing for Agit...

Make Martin fight him to keep his IBF no. 2 slot. And boot the dodgers out of the top 10 (which to be fair, the IBF have done with Hunter).

This is a solid matchup that I’d like to see, but I’m not sure if Parker and his team will really consider taking it. Hrgovic is a high-risk low-reward fighter. At this point, Parker needs to build himself back into the top 5 slot among the division. He can always run it back with either Ruiz or Chisora. Those two fights would certainly garner more revenue than a fight against Hrgovic.

We all know that he would take the fight, no way would that alcoholic Higgins allow him to take this fight for how much? He would want at least 2m to be beaten on by Hrgovic.

Parker will not take this fight so there's no need to even write about it. He will beat an old Chisora again and then call out AJ. Completely skipping over other fighters who can beat him in the process. This is the path that most boxers are taking today and it is also the reason MMA is taking over. Because in MMA, they make the best fight the best. In boxing, most of the best AVOID the best, but talk smack like they WANT to fight. This will stop when boxing fans demand better fights.
