Personally, I'd target Hunter if he gets past Povetkin, as he's an up and comer. Of course, the question has to be asked, why would he fight Parker? It used to be that KB would target a fighter for Tua, and sometimes Parker, to make it seem like everyone is scared of him. While a bit amateurish, it seemed to work with AJ, especially given that Parker's earnings were way better than in the beginning of the negotiation. Mr Higgins did the same. So, that's what KB/Higgins needs to do to get a good fight. Parker bitchin' about Chisora after dropping out won't do it.
yeah i think for mine its just a different landscape with 3 tv networks/streaing services with 3 promoter/advisors controlling everything. I'd say that Parker got an extension slapped on him for not fighting chisora. Normally if you turn a fight down you will be extended. the control is completely in eddies hands now. no matter what KB or Higgins do. Thats why i put Hemi and Junior with Dibella who works with all of the big 3 so as t take the right fights at the right time.
