Hopefully he's stayed in shape and can come into this fight better prepared for Chisora. The Dillian Whyte fight should have provided a good learning experience around dealing with pressure fighters who use all the tricks.
I don't see his #5 ranking: https://fightnews.com/rankings-2. He's #11 in two alphabets. This fight wouldn't help Parker's ranking, but it would do wonders for his boxing skills. Parker gonna fight dirty against Chisora, the king of dirt? Hahaha.

After getting ko'd by Whyte, I can't see him ranked that high. After giving it some thought, Parker should go after the one's that Whyte doesn't want, either Breazeale or Povetkin instead of Chisora.

Breazeale would be great but if he won't risk his ranking v Whyte he won't against JP either
Unsure how JP would fare v Povetkin- depends how much AP has left. A win for JP would be good scalp
Thinking negatively a loss to Povetkin is better than a loss to Del

I think Chisora is just too tough for Parker compared to the other three.

Breazeale is the easiest, and he's top 5 like Parker in the WBC.

Whyte will fight the one who (1) Makes a deal and (2) Is a PPV attraction in the UK.
Think about which one that is....

Brezeale and Ortiz are with Al Haymon, Povetkin is with Hearn through his World of Boxing deal and had fought in London twice. That’s your man.

When AJ fought Povetkin everyone was saying it was a pointless fight, now he's all good for Parker?
