I don't think Parker needs to beat everyone in the heavyweight division.  Only guys in front of him that lead to an eliminator.  At the moment, it's Takam.  Parker can beat him.  I personally think he can beat Fury and Martin.  But Fury won't matter.  He'll get KO'd by Klit, and Klit will then retire.  He just doesn't want to fight anymore.  Ortiz and Wilder will be tougher matches.  But Parker will be a better fighter after he beats Takam.

You reckon you rate Fury better than most pre Klit but less than people do now?

You sound like Fury isn't even top 10?

Fury has got the goods and he is seriously underrated here in NZ. He dominated Atg Wlad and even if he does get ko'ed in the rematch I don't see anyone else being a favourite against Wlad and before the Fury fight neither did anyone else.

Ortiz is getting overrated badly just by koing a game but far from elite Jennings. Jennings was winning every second round and Ortiz was puffing looking short of breathe at the end. Ortiz will get sparked out when he hits the deep end of the pool he doesn't have the work rate or conditioning. Wouldn't be surprised if Martin chinned him actually.
