I'm a big Parker fan but I don't get the blind favouritism when compared to AJ

The David Haye fight could have happened easily, I'm sure there's a covered stadium that would have held it. They didn't fight him because he's far too dangerous for AJ.
Johan Duhaupas would have been a great fight, he's got a solid chin and has some skill and power.
Carlos Takam - great fight, regardless of if Takam had just lost. It was a chance for AJ to put his money where his mouth is and knocked out Takam.
Jarrell Miller - probably better than the Molina fight. Big, strong, powerful.
Hughie Fury - Eddie could have paid the guy more to make it happen, would have been a great fight and sold very well.
David Price - not a fan of that fight, would be over very quickly.

They chose probably the worst, or second worst opponent from what was available.
