Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker confirmed as next for WBO title after Usyk-Dubois II

[BlackRobb]

IDk about that, he has shown a good gas tank, volume, punch placement and he is younger. He'll get his shot probably after Parker.

Don't put too much into the Zhang win. Zhang is 40+ and never in great shape.

[RingoKid]

He's got to wait though because he got skipped over by Dan The Man You got over that yet or you still crying like a baby?

He could get a million title shots in the future it doesn't change the fact your lover got his ass whooped by all 3 of those guys.

Ok champ. I think we're done here.

Until you grow up and stop acting like a child or improve your troll game, ive got nothing more for ya.

Enjoy your life and have a great day.

Dubois beating Usyk would be like Nepal beating Pakistan in a nuclear war.

Punchers chance?

Punchers chance?

Didn't he have a puncher's chance in the first fight when he took a knee and QUIT? If Fury couldn't beat Usyk in two cracks, no way in Holy Hell does Dubois do it.

Parkers recent form looks good on paper but...

Wilder got ktfo cold by Zhang before landing a punch in anger

Zhang got worked over and stopped easily by Kabayel

Bakole I can't really count that one because it was LITERALLY last minute

For what it's worth you can't blame Parker because at the end of the day nobody was saying these guys were finished before Parker fought them, so credit him the wins but when calculating where parker is actually at right now you have to take everything into account.

Kabayel is the only real challenge for Usyk, but he won't get the shot, he's stylistically wrong for Usyk who is pushing 40 and the last thing he wants is Kabayel sticking to him like white on rice throwing nonstop bodyshots he will stick to big stiff plodders.

And Parker, what can he do? Usyk has to fight someone who has come up and wants to challenge... I like Parker and see improvements but cannot see a way he wins a round. Dubois showed he has an equalizer... Even if the punch was contraversal. Heck i would even give Chisora another crack

It doesnt matter what Parker can do.

He's legitimately earnt the shot more than Sniffles and Kabayel so deserves the chance to see how he goes against Usyk.

It's the fight fans are most calling for and would have happened had Sniffles not pissed his pants and taken his beating from Parker like a man.

The Kable Guy actually whooped Zhangs ass like you're supposed to whoop a 53 year old obese man.

"Average" Joe got his nose broken and sc****d an either way decision that some people thought he lost.

Parker should really go through Kabayel to get the next shot if we're being honest with ourselves.

Chisora is a punching bag. Parker won't beat Usyk, but he can steal a few rounds in a wide decision loss.

The fans can certainly debate it on the merits of fairness... And I would not be the one to stand in Parker's way necessarily, everyone does deserve their shot at the Gold Ring... But as an honest opinion where I stand on what I wish to see? I do not see Parker with a chance in Hell.

Even if one speaks of Chisora as a "punching bag" he still threatened Usyk when he was wet behind the ears as a professional heavyweight and has the punch and experience to maybe make it interesting... Dubois has the big punch... But on the merits of fairness? Like I said, I would never stand in the way of Parker getting his chance.

Boxing is great for many reasons: One of them is when nobody gives a fighter a chance who proves everyone wrong.
