Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Joseph Parker ordered, but is it time for Usyk to walk away on top?

[hugh grant]

did a google and he seems to say chisora and the first fury fight were his toughest fights at heavy, i didnt realise he ranked chisora up there with the fury fight

But that's got more to do with it being usyk first fight acclimatising to the division. It can't be used as evidence usyk not great at heavyweight.
Not everyone's a inoue who steps up to fight champs immediately

Usyk shouldn't have any probs with Parker.

Usyk shouldn't have any probs with Parker.

He should. Parker has so much experience in the division and is the best he's ever been. Now nobody is saying Parker is going to win but if usyk wins it's a very good win.

[hugh grant]

Call me nobody then, cos I'm saying Parker will beat Usyk.

Yep...I said it !!!

Yes, some think Parker can win and will win, as Parker is very experienced in the division in form of life.
People who aren't Usyk fans will dismiss Parker as being a great win.? But trust me, it is a great win for a 38 year old who was a former cruiserweight

I would walk away if I was Usyk. Other than banking more massive paychecks, there is nothing left to do in the sport. I feel like he's right where Lomachenko was right before retirement. Loma left on a win which was nice, yet there were so many callouts that could still happen. All the "next" gen fighters waiting. Though it would never end. That's the way the sport moves on. The old gets beat by the young and the torch is passed. Though it doesn't always have to go that route. The old can retire while they're at the top and leave it at that.

This is the best fight that can be made at heavy right now. Parker deserves his shot.
