Given his level of opposition, I don't think Hughie (or Miller for that matter) deserve a mandatory status. That said, Wilder hasn't even faced a mandatory yet after 5 fights. AJ? Can't remember. Is Klit his mandatory?
So far, Parker has shown power against easier opposition. Against Takam and Ruiz? No. Even Parker said he was frustrated. Hughie will present some interesting challenges for Parker with his movement, size, and unorthodox style. I hope he shows up.
Don't know why people think I'm biased about Parker. I want the guy to win. Badly. Is that biased? More like loyalty for a fighter I like. Sham would say love. Like he loves Klit and AJ. That's ok. Does Parker have work to do? Huge. But he's young, and fighting two guys who won't test his flaws if he fights Hughie and Bellew. Time to get it right before taking on the big boyz.
