If I was Eddie Hearn I'd rather the Parker fight in a boxing sense.

The wilder fight is a better sell though

But if he fights again at heavy it should be Haye 2

Shannon Briggs has to be in the running if he beats Fres Oquendo next month.

He will fight again according to himself. He wants the big fights sure Parker or WIlder. Parker is the more winnable but like he said he has a better name on his resume than both those guys. Haye no where near ready just now getting out of boot probably needs a tune up. Bellew should go for that title shot.

I think Haye is ready to beat Bellew on the basis he was quite comfortable in the fight and winning till the Achilles rupture.

I don't begrudge Bellew going for a title shot if Ines there, that may never come again, but he went on long enough about beating Haye and giving him the rematch, and the first fight didn't really answer the question who was the better man due to the injury. It's unfinished business in my opinion

Don't disagree but Haye will need a tune up and Bellew and Hearn wont wait around where there's a chance for Bellew to be a tiltle holder at heavyweight there not going to wait around given that opportunity. He can come back to the Haye fight.

He'd get mullered by both. He was talking about retiring with enough money, so he should press for the Wilder fight.

Niether. Parker and Wilder should fight each other.

Wilder will want Parker after seeing his latest slide past #78.
Parker's team will want neither. I can't see Parker having a chance against anyone inside the top #15 and he isnt improving either.
We watched the Takem and Ruiez again this week as they were shown free as a leadup to last night. And I thought he would have been lucky to draw against Takem, and lost to Ruiez.
Wilder would definitely want a piece of that action.

Wilder brings more money and this fight will help to build Wilder in UK, prior to Joshua-Wilder at automn 2018.

Fights like this need build-up, and two megafights in one year are unreasonable businees wise...

Don't think it will happen soon, Parker will be fool to cash out his belt so soon and Wilder don't really need second strap prior his megafight/cashout vs Joshua.

Briggs probably wants Wilder and I can't think out any excuse left for Wilder to avoid Briggs.
