    Will Joseph Parker accept the IBF's invitation to fight Hrgovic?

    Or is he likely to turn it down because he doesn't fight for pennies?

    I think it depends on the potential size of the purse but I will say he doesn't take it. I'd like to see the fight myself. It would be an interesting fight but I'm not sure it would be an exciting one. Both guys can crack pretty good, Parker has a good chin and I'm guessing Hrgovic does as well. I'd give Parker the athleticism and Hrgovic the technical advantage.

      Hell no.

      No one who has paydays already on the horizon is taking that fight. I have no clue why Parker is a draw in the UK, but he is.

      We'll probably end up with someone like Hrgovic vs Kabayel or something....

        He'll take the fight is my guess.

        I'm hoping he goes on a tear to clear out the pretenders and hype jobs.

        Hrgovic would be as good a place to start as any. Then Joyce and Sanchez.

        By then Fury would have unified and can take a dive in a fight with Parker and piss himself laughing into retirement, while leaving Parker with all the hardware.

          He should take it. I guess he had no problem fighting Winters and Fa for pennies?

          He got 2 Chisora paydays. Time to step up and fight a rising contender.

            Man id like this. Hrgovic thinks he's hard and everyone will fall once his gloves touch your chin. Parker might not subscribe to that theory

              That's a good point. Parker does seem to be a draw in the UK.

                  Well, Ortiz just beat Martin, so I guess Ortiz will be much higher and Martin will fall down the rankings.

                  Speaking of Hrgovic, I guess Yoka, Kabayel or Gassiev will fight him if Parker rejects.

                    Ortiz will be removed because he declined a mandatory. He’s way to dangerous to have him ranked anyway he will scare everyone and they will run out of the IBF rankings,the boogeyman.
