Terrible article above. JP has re-invented himself and is nowhere near like Chris Byrd. He'll be twenty pounds heavier. I'm hoping, if the fight comes off, that JP will have learned his lesson from JJ and be able to move much better and not get crowded into the ropes.

That writer always belittles JP achievements saying controversial win etc when it wasn't.
Chris Byrd though was a helluva fighter up from middle weight he befuddled a prime Tua defensively and also landed some good shots... then he meet Vitaly and it was down hill from there.
JP v DDD makes sense and I would love that fight for JP who I think outboxes DDD in a similar fight to the Zhang fight with a couple of dangerous moments but with enough rounds banked and also finishing strongest to take a majority decision

Just saw that DDD given green light to fight Wardley by BBC, absolute BS, Wardle is a novice this shouldn't be allowed.
Parker deserves the fight

The IBF granted Dubois a voluntary. Wardley is one option. I agree Parker deserves the fight.
