Usyk is batshit crazy. He is one incredibly skilled, fit, fast and determined MF.
He made plenty of big guys look stupid at amateur level.
Would be good to see Usyk vs Ortiz or Povetkin. Old Ortiz is a beast - I wouldn't put JP in with him as a match maker.
Old Pov is skilled. JP would likely struggle.
If Parker mans up and takes a fight with any of those 3, it means he's serious, but I would be worried he could lose any of those fights, without much reward.
If he goes the back door with old Chisora, fair enough. Would be hugely disappointed if JP lost to him.
I think Parker could beat usyk.
He won't have anything to worry about with usyks power, and usyk isn't actually all that fleet of foot.
Parker has tremendous handspeed, he's way quicker than bellew in that regard.
I think if Parker came in with the right attitude, warmed up to a sweat and going straight at usyk as soon as the first bell rings fighting at a high pace, he could stop him.
Warrington against frampton did what so many fighters should do, but don't. He didn't get into a boxing match with him, he didn't give him time to settle in he just went straight at him and dragged him into war immediately. Parker needs to start doing that against opponents who can't hurt him back.
