    Parker would flatten Dimitrenko in a round or 2. Dimitrenko hasn't beaten a quality heavyweight since Derric Rossy. Lost both step up fights & other then Rossy his best wins are over Sosnowski & Luan Krasniqi. That was 5 years ago. He's been put on the canvas by 2 D level trial horses the last few years. I don't think he has much left. He peaked as a fringe contender in the top 20 but the Chambers & Pulev losses took their toll on his confidence. He reached that B level a few years back but that is where it ended for him as a potential contender.

            I think the likelihood now will be Parker vs Browne. Chances are we'll see the Oquendo and Takam fights first, though I can understand Browne's handlers having reservations with him facing another boxer (tactician). I expect Oquendo to be paid step aside, Parker can come back to Joshua on equal parity after absorbing Browne's belt.

            It's a great fight when you think about it. Not that I'm opposed to Joshua versus either I just see Browne cashing out fast, he's old, shyt and limited. Dude is a nice guy, but he has ZERO skill.

            Axl is in serious training trying to get in shape for his dates at The Whiskey, Vegas, Coachella and Mexico. If he still has it in him he puts Andy to shame, I wouldn't bank on it though, dude looked freakin gigantasaur last I saw him.

Klitschko could very well do the same but he likes having all the titles so he probably would fight Ortiz if he wins. If either Fury/Klitschko choose to vacate to pursue the IBF or WBC titles that would leave Ortiz(don't see him losing to Ustinov)vs Oquendo/Browne winner. I think this tourney was a waste of time & it won't be as exciting as people think. I really doubt Klitschko or Fury fight Ortiz because of the big money fights elsewhere. Call it a duck but I think it is strictly financial. High risk low reward fight for both. This tourney is a roadblock to big money fights for both.

                Haye should face Oquendo, try and factor himself into the WBA plans somehow.

                    Dude aint a bad boxer when focused, not the greatest but he can box, not sure the same can be said of 'fight' yet he is under rated. It would be Parker's best opponent IMO. I do however rate Takam higher but there is sense in facing Dimitrenko with his physical dimensions, as there is Ustinov.

                      Wtf is this shyt, a pre emptive bs excuse for Fury to duck Ortiz before it is even ordered ? One thing I wouldn't be opposed to is if Klitschko beat Fury then vacated to enable him to fight Wilder as I don't believe Klitschko at this point beats Ortiz, but would destroy Wilder.

                      Are you insinuating Fury would lose to Ortiz ?
