Parker is the most avoided Heavyweight in the last 5 years. Give the man his due. He’s the true meaning of nice guys finish last! He’s too nice & can’t sell a fight! But, an ex-champion who’s literally been super active as his 13 plus fights since 2018 prove. What ex-champ has ever had to go through the ringer like that for another shot? It’s nuts! Just one Man’s opinion…pollywog likes this.

Still, hope Parker is next. Interesting match-up.
As I have mentioned before 'Muhammad Ali in 1973 fought Ken Norton twice. In their first fight Ali lost, and suffered a broken jaw in the process. Muhammad Ali made the rematch against Ken Norton less than 6 months later, and avenge that loss wining over the distance'.
I understand that Oleksandr Uysk right about now is riding a wave 'Of high praise and some hysterics from certain members of the boxing community'.
But if Oleksandr Uysk wants to be regarded as an all-time great heavyweight Champion 'He then not only needs to fight the elite heavyweight fighters, but also the contenders while he is reigning at the top of the game'.
Note: Last year Oleksandr Uysk voluntary vacated his IBF titles 'When in my opinion he could have done a lot more to hold onto those titles. There was plenty of time between the first and second Fury vs Uysk I & II fights, for Oleksandr Uysk to fight his mandatory challenger for the IBF title. But he instead chose not to as a Champion, and those are the facts'.
I am not sure why people want to go easy on Oleksandr Uysk 'The same attitude was also extended towards Tyson Fury as a Champion. If the WBO have mandated that he defends his WBO titles vs Joseph Parker then that is what Uysk must do as a Champion'.
Anthony Joshua as a Heavyweight Champion never vacated any titles 'When there were times when he could have tactically, made those kinds of moves to prolong his championship reign'.
To conclude: Oleksandr Uysk has been a great fighter 'And the most accomplished fighter of his generation. But if I have one slight criticism, it is that I think as a Champion? I am not sure whether he is fully down to defend his titles, and hold into them with all his power'.
If Oleksandr Uysk for the second time around as a Heavyweight Champion vacates a World title 'Then I think this should be marked against his resume, when we want to compare him to all of those other past great Heavyweight Champions' etc.
