Just one Man’s opinion…

      Still, hope Parker is next. Interesting match-up.
      Oleksandr Uysk has had 1 fight in 2015? One fight. If modern day fighters want to be compared to past great fighters, then being order to fight mandatory contenders should be a straight forward task'.

      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.

        Parker is getting KTFO and if you believe anything else you're delusional.
