I would like to see Klit hang them up if he beats Fury and Wilder... and then come out of retirement one year later to fight AJ. If he could do that he would have to go down as up there with the best of them.
I know he hasnt been in the strongest era and has three losses to guys that were good without being great but if he could win those three he would have cleaned out the divison.

Chagaev demolishes Pianeta in one
WBA “regular” heavyweight champion Ruslan “White Tyson” Chagaev (34-2-1, 21 KOs) made quick work of challenger Francesco Pianeta (31-2-1, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at the GETEC Arena in Magdeburg, Germany. Chagaev dropped Pianeta twice in round one before the mismatch was waved off. Time was 2:57. Chagaev now must fight two consecutive mandatory challengers. First Fres Oquendo within 120 days, then Lucas Browne.

He might be a good opponent for Parker, not sure on his ranking without looking it up but record is better than an average all be it a bit padded. Another German could be a tough sell to the NZ public after the last won though!

Pianeta's stocks will plummet after that showing. I only saw him take one or two (good) clean shots, then he seemed to quit. Was crying a couple of minutes after, like he realised what had happened. Looked very down and embarrassed in an interview after the fight (without a mark on his face).
Still i guess Duco might take him if he's cheap.....

Yip thats what I was thinking if he doesn't have many options a holiday and a pay day in NZ might go down well.
I haven't seen the fight but I wonder if we are not giving Chagaev enough credit? or is Pianeta not as good as he once was?
Never struck me as a guy with heaps of power but has some skills and went six or seven rounds with Klit. At his best he might give Parker seven or eight rounds or maybe even the distance?

Thought Ustinov had a signed fight with Chisora. Guess Chisora ducked it after his horror form against big guys

Would love to have seen Ustinov fight Fury. Believe he could have won.
