Bellew should try get the WBO belt off Parker imo. It's a fight he could win and it would end up a perfect situation for everyone. Then you can have him face Wilder and hopefully eventually AJ/Wilder would be a unification fight

I think we're underestimating David Parker honestly. I still think it would take a top tier heavyweight to beat him.

I wonder...

@mr. smoke weed

You think Jo Jo Diaz is ready for Oscar Valdez now?
Nah I think Jo Jo Diaz isn't very impressive. He has very quick hands, but almost no power, and the way he punches.......his mechanics leave him wide open for a left hook. I think he's a KO waiting to happen. It would not be wise of Oscar to pit him against Valdez, or any of the othr top 4 at 126, for at least 2 years. Good check right hook and jab though. His check right hook is nice.

What about you @SuikodenII

True that, he loses to Valdez, GRJ, LSX, Frampton. Might beat Selby, Quigg and Mares, Marriaga. Those are 50-50 ish fights

Man it's just makes the process longer. Why not have Wilder just face Parker in a unification, and the winner face AJ?

That's all you really need. However, I'm sure Parker's team will pursue the fight that offers the most money.

parker needs to fight wilder next. he ducked wilder in a way. no way he should have fought that bum.

I got a feeling he gonna keep that belt hostage for a while. hopefully not.

if mcgregor-floyd happens this year too, then where does 2017 rank among biggest years in boxing? it's crazy how things change in 8 months. after conor-nate diaz II everyone was talking about how ufc has taken over and boxing is dead. now it looks like ufc is in trouble and boxing is on the rise again. i used to just be a casual fan (i'd watch the floyd fights), but now I'm legitimately invested in the sport.

this video was literally 8 months ago:

they all have the same business model, so the comparison is easy to make. plus, let's not act like pro wrestling wasn't a vital part of MMA's rise.

i find pro wrestling more entertaining, but regardless, let's not talk about this.
