    Dereck Chisora would be a good scalp for all of these up-and-coming fighters. Problem is Chisora himself is looking to cash out against a big name. A loss to an up-and-comer seals his fate as a gate keeper. Filip Hrgovic still needs to prove himself before stepping in with a genuine contender like Dillian Whyte or Joseph Parker, imo. Sascha Povetkin is on the slide and definately beatable, but think he too is probably looking for the big payday. Hrgovic is in a bit of a "Who needs him?" club. Nobody will want to fight him, he has a young Vitali Klitschko vibe going on. He will likely end up winning a vacant title before he gets a big fight.

      I would give a Parker from last night style wise the best chance. but could Parker recreate that with a 6'7 Hrgovic who throws punches back ? Id favor Hrgovic over all of them .

        Send him down the WBA Regular path, problem for Hearn is he has a few guys going down there, like Hunter and Kuzmin, hes going to have to match them at some point.

        I think Parker vs Chisora is inevitable now for tail end of the year. More likely now Parker has Hearn to back him against any games Haye tries to pull

          I’d like to see these up and coming guys face one another, a loss at this stage of your career isn’t the end of the world. Hunters already proven that following the Usyk loss.

          Parker-Chisora is gonna be a Sky PPV IMO...

            Even Hammer would be a good test. He's gonna fight in Mexico in August so I assume it'll be a soft touch.

              Can chuck Gassiev in that mix aswell. Hes got so many heavyweights now, the unaligned heavyweight decent opponent type guys are going to quickly dry up. Suspect hes signed Bakole aswell. Theres some great fights to be made.

              Jeez, Parker/Chisora is a tall order for PPV. Hes saying theres more money being invested in the UK side, Im sceptical, Chisora/Parker would be a good SNF. I could see if Brook/Khan gets made it being chief support though.

                Yeah no point seeing these guys in there with Leapai or Maldonado. Let’s see them fight one another, they’ll actually learn a lot from these type of matchups two.

                They like to put Whyte and Chisora together on PPV shows so I could see it being on the undercard of a box office show as well tbf. I’ve just been told by a friend who has a legit source that Chisora-Parker can’t happen without it being on PPV. I’m pretty sure that’s the real reason it fell through for April 20.

                I wish they would put fights like that on SNF. They’ve been woeful since the start of 2018.
