    Parker coming from back to back L's I give him pass to get a couple of wins and try to rebuild

      Honestly wouldn't mind a Whyte v Breazeale fight it's 50/50
      I need to watch Whyte a interview but he won’t be wrong if he said Brezeale is more popular in the U.K? All of Joshua’s opponents are more known just through association! You under estimate how many actually follow Joshua if you don’t realize that. Plus Brezeale speaks good English! Usyk is working on it to be fair but Ortiz is miles away!

        so boxing fans over there won't know who detached Tony Bellew's mind from his soul a couple months ago?

          More people follow Joshua than bellew. Bellew wasn’t all that popular until recent years and the Haye fight. I don’t know the numbers who watched but Bellew Usyk won’t have had the same following as amount of people who watched Joshua (many have gone back and watched old fights of joshua having joined the hype later.

          As I said previously it doesn’t mean Ortiz or Usyk fights can’t happen, and Usyk having a big fight next makes most sense, not dissimilar to them taking advantage of Parker fighting Whyte straight after he had just fought Joshua.

            Usyk has literally like twice the followes as Whyte on social media. Whyte is talking out his ass. Fact is, not many know Whyte and the association he had with AJ wasn’t just before AJ fought Wlad but before AJ was even a champion. No one gives a f uck about Whyte. In fact, Whyte would literally be considered a stepping stone and treated as a gate keeper to see how Usyk fares in a new division.

            People who go back and watch old fights of someone before they were even champion (yeeeears ago) likely watch enough boxing to know who Usyk is as he’s been actually relevant.

            Usyk is likely the bigger name and that we are even debating it just goes to show how much of a name Whyte isn’t.

            Usyk gets a lot of promotion not just from his own greatness, but through Lomachenko as well.

              Add another guy on that list that Whyte wants no parts of!

              -Pulev
              -Ortiz
              -Usyk

              Dude is mad, eager to face Wilder and get sent to the ER faster than a amateur daredevilist but refuses to fight Pulev, Ortiz and now Usyk!

              Him and AJ are really cut from similar cloths, weirdos who claim they fear no one but they’ve ducked other fighters!

                  What a ****** thing to say. Everybody knows damn well who Usyk is. He just came to England and KOed one of England's most popular boxers.

                    He's right Usyk is an unknown but Luis Ortiz isn't. He has a much higher profile than Oleksandr Usyk. He's a man he should fight if he wants Wilder. Deontay already laid out the challenge. He told him to defeat Luis Ortiz and he will become his next opponent. He'll get the Wilder fight faster than Anthony Joshua.

                      Damn I don't know who the hell Whyte is. I've heard the name, never was interested in watching his fights. He's not Canelo or Joshua and has to be easy with this kinda talk
