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

[Smash]

Usyk always says Chisora was his hardest fight at HW

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

I know you think you're being terrible funny repeating this nickname but there are currently 1593 registered active heavyweights in the world according to Boxrec and Joe Parker is ranked #1 by the TBRB. By definition, he is not average.

Almost every post of yours I see you disrespecting fighters and diminishing their achievements. Perhaps you're jaded and need a new sport?

Semantics aside, And be fair to that guy, Usyk will wipe the floor with Parker. Unless you think otherwise?
Parker is not a boogeyman at HW.

Wilder had already been whooped and stopped twice by Fury. Come on now.

Zhang had no top fighters on his resume and had asthma attacks fighting bums.

And still no one wanted to take them on, least of all Joshua.

Btw...Parker did a better job of whooping Wilder than Fury did and i have no doubt Parker would do the same to Fury.

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.

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.

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.
