After drawing in the Povetkin fight, he'd be an excellent opponent, and a prelude to Usyk as they have similar styles in that they are boxers and not big heavyweights. Hunter is ranked WBO #7, so it's the right alphabet for Parker also. Truth be told, I don't rate Usyk higher than Hunter, except that he's higher ranked. Usyk DID beat Hunter at cruiser, but it was a UD.
Browne doesn't wanna fight in this part of the world anymore, and Parker's last fight was against an Aussie/Samoan in the USA so I don't see why they wouldn't put Parker v Browne in the US it they were to fight.
Usyk Beat Hunter comfortably though truth be told. The win is made to look better now that Hunter has given the HWs a fair bit of trouble, and I had Hunter beating Povetkin last time out.
But yeah, can't see it being more than a tune up and Parker has a high ranking with the WBO so why risk it?
