I like me some Izu a lot - he's great to watch and in ridiculously good shape.

But damn, he's fought bums so far.

Potential yes, big potential. But more talented than Parker? Come on man.

If they gave Izu the SAME opponets they did Parker,they would have a better fighter....yes. Right now parkers SLIGHTLY better but that's only b/c hes fought live opponents thus far. Ive said this awhile now and the fact his own team doesn't want him to fight Wach ,confirms that theory.

Parker's team did the same thing bringing him along. They stated before the Takam fight that they twice turned down offers to fight Takam because of the high risk/low reward but when offered a title eliminator they jumped at the chance. At that point it made sense financially & career wise. They are doing the same for Ugonoh. I like Parker & Ugonoh's team. They have good people in their corners. If it's not an eliminator they want to be paid. I don't blame them. He will rise in the ranks & get those big fights soon.

That's exactly what im saying. And that would be obvious to anyone who even glimpses at his fight clips.

I might be willing to agree with you. He has better athletic fundamentals than Parker, longer, faster, etc. Parker might be more skilled, but Izu could be better than Broseph..

I think Izu is better all around,jab ,defense and equal speed with better top to bottom combos from a distance which goes a long way against the 6'4 plus giants.

They turned down Takam b/c he most likely loses at that time.His team simply chose bad competition leading up to Takam and almost cost them an L... Being in someones camp that you are second is never good,unless Parker loses then you will see thwem try to do the hurry up thing with Izu.Not a big fan of the parker team they seem a bit incompetant to me. Izu is more than capable of beating Wach ,its actually the opponent you want to get you those rounds.

Don King use to keep it in the family. All his HWs use to fight each other. I miss those days. Fighters are so protected nowadays... Parker is Duco's prize but Ugonoh will get his chance. Takam was high risk/low reward prior to the eliminator. That is when it makes most sense to step him up. Look how at ****** Andy Ruiz is. He withdrew for no good reason at least I haven't heard one yet. That opportunity may never come for along time after this. Fighting Takam made no sense because if he did lose his ranking would have been gone & he would have got a lot less money. Same goes for Ugonoh. He is now the IBF #15 & in the WBO top 15 somewhere. Fighting Wach is a step backward if he is not ranked ahead of Ugonoh. The Wach fight makes no sense as he is not ranked in the top 15 of any of the big 4.
