Would love to see Parker vs Zhang.

Not a bad shout that.
Credit to Parker that was very comfortable.
Slightly annoyed Bivol showed little urgency to get Arthur out , this is the entertainment industry lets not forget and its not like Arthur has much power anyway.
Parker’s career is close to the end and he can’t afford to lose to any of those guys

Anderson won't fight anyone good for a while and nobody knows who Sanchez is so no chance of those 2.
The 1st two options though could sell although Dubois might be the bigger name and easier option IMO.

Life and death with Wallin who Joshua dominated.
Life and death with Wilder who Parker dominated.
Will never fight guys like Joyce, Zhang etc

Wilder looked a shadow of the guy who was in the ring with Fury or Ortiz for that matter. Looked gunshy and weak. Kinda feels like with his performance and his attitude in the fight build up that he already had one foot in the retirement camp. All credit to Parker though, can't remember him having such a dominant performance, he embarrassed Wilder.
Maybe a rematch with Andy Ruiz next year?

Yeah would be interesting. Parker wouldn't be a sitting duck for Zhang's bombs like Joyce was and if he stays in shape like he was for this fight he could be a chance to wear him down over the later rounds, but Parker's usually had problems with bigger opponents who he can't out point with his jab, so I'd probably have Zhang as the favourite

Don't forget Ngannou , yeah he probably doesn't deserve it but for pretty much all those guys he is an enticing option, money to be made and little risk.

Zhang has massive untapped commercial potential. Such a shame that a smart promoter never put him up in a big fight in China.
money fights I could see for him:
- Ruiz rematch
- Zhang if there's commercial value
- Dubois fight would probably sell, not sure Frank would risk Dubois now that he's got a bit of momentum
On the other hand if the Saudis are willing to put up the money, fights with Anderson, Sanchez etc could make sense.
True.

You’d think that it would be a no brainer & particularly as Zhang is probably being avoided like the plague anyway
Ruiz is the guy who is throwing away big paydays
He would have smoked Wilder IMO

I actually think Parker would match up ok against Zhang (yet would always struggle with Joyce). Zhang is certainly much more well schooled than Wilder but there’s a vague stylistic similarity in that they’re both huge punchers but low output with dodgy stamina. Zhang has particularly bad stamina. Parker has a chance of winning a dull decision against that sort of opponent.

Hmmmm, think Ruiz would always struggle with Wilder. Always eats right hands.
