Roadmapping the HW division.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Let’s say you’re Turki and you can influence how things play out, how would you move the chess pieces so to speak.

Here’s what I’d do:

Usyk vs Parker. Maybe isn’t the most exciting of fights but it’s the most credible fight in the division for me. It should happen next.

The one fight that shouldn’t happen however is Fury-AJ. It’s just a cash grab at this point, sure it’d be a huge event commercially but all it does is take money out of boxing, it doesn’t create any new stars.

I’d put AJ in with Itauma. I think it’s the perfect fight to build Itauma into the next megastar in the division.

Fury I wouldn’t mind actually just staying retired tbh, but if he wants to “come back” make him fight a legitimate contender like Kabayel or Dubois. If he’s not willing to do that, put them in with each other.

Another guy I’d like to see get a big fight is Fabio Wardley. Not the most talented but a tough kid who’s always in an entertaining fight. I think him vs Bakole would be fireworks. Zhang wouldn’t be a bad option too.

Feel like everyone else in the division is irrelevant at this point, past prime guys like Wilder, Whyte, Chisora etc, potential future contenders like Jalolov, Torrez etc or guys who just simply don’t have it like Hrgovic or Anderson.

Post your own…

Usyk - Itauma

Parker - Kabayel

Hrgovic - Wardley

[Smash]

there was a time when contenders duked it out to fight the top guy, lots of options maybe, usyk drop a belt and parker and moses fight for it, throw kaybayel in with one if thats not an option

usyk in 38 and coming to the end, saying he has to fight each and every 'contender' is not the way to go because it just wont happen in all likelyhood with new contenders appearing as well that how it goes in the sport, there is also a top no1 contender who happens to be Parker so maybe just go with the obvious choice?

[Smash]

parker v moses would satisfy some conditions and fangirls on the site

moses if he wins would have beaten a good guy, parker if he wins would have beaten an 'elite young guy' or 'guy with the most potential' or something like that

and the people who say parker is meh will say yeah ok he gets the fight if he wins and if moses wins hes the real deal and going to KO usyk next

Not sure, but Parker deserves the Usyk fight more than ANYONE ELSE.

[HandsofIron]

Usyk vs Parker

Agit vs Itauma

[Joseph]

Yarde’s Cousin Buff Guy Joshua VS Fury is an all limey affair

it doesn’t need Turki’s budget to be a commercial success

Moses Joshua would be a good match

Moses vs any of these guys Agit Joshua
