    Fair enough on who is #2. It’s close and a preference thing - do you prefer Miller-Hrgovic-Joshua, Makhmudov-Sanchez-Zhang or Wilder-Zhang-Bakole. Dubois has the stripped belt and absolutely destroyed the washed yet still weirdly marquee guy so that makes it more of an event for the punters. Even if we know how it will likely end again

Its getting a bit repetitive and it also kind of comes across like endlessly giving UK cash cows plenty of opportunities at him hoping one of them can take him out.

      Usyk/Parker is the fight to make. Have DDD fight Kabayel in the meantime.
      If the American Cash Cow had won,
      Usyk would've faced him.
      The British Cash Cows have been winning.

        Dubois got sick (conveniently) before fighting Parker.

        "We are working on Usyk-Dubois 2"

        You can't make this **** up

            Any combination of him against Parker, DDD or Kabayel should be fine. Unification and a rematch to clear the first fight up will sell better.

              Dubois is still quacking. Don't give the ducker a shot.

                Flip it, Usyk v body snatcher Kabayel, Dubois Parker.

                  I'd prefer Usyk/Parker but thats good too.

                  I think when theres fresh dangerous challengers out there they should be prioritized over rematches.

                    The problem is Dubois is a full recognized world champion.

                    You can't "duck" a fighter with no belt to unify with another champion.

                    I would prefer to see Parker vs Usyk because it's fresh but Usyk vs Dubois will make more money and they both have belts so I imagine that's what we will get.

                      I actually think Parker v ddd was a good fight why not stick with that? Pulling out of fight last minute is bad, but as long as you reschedule it, no harm done, we won't hold grudge.
                      Usyk v kabayel
