Thanks James5000, I've updated the HW fight list on the HW thread.
With Hammer gone, who could Joe be fighting???
In my head there is:
Takam- Possibly but since he is rated in the top 10 for 3 alphabets...he has other options apart from JP including Anthony Joshua for IBF.
Ustinov- Not sure if he would risk being KOéd when he is lined up for Ortiz later this year. Talk he has issues with family and is pushing back fights.
Fedosov- Seems to be a possible opponent for a number of other fighters, but it's still possible he would travel to NZ
Hughie Fury- Highly unlikely, there is talk it might be a better journeyman coming his way- maybe even Stiverne. Peter Fury won't risk Hughie against Parker.
Matteo Modugno- I bloody hope not, he isn't rated in the top 100 in Boxrec or in any alphabet. He is Europe's Martz.
Stiverne- Maybe, it gives Stiverne a chance to gain rankings if he wins, and gives JP a durable opponent with a risk element.
Bryant Jennings- I just don't see Jennings wanting to risk another loss, unless it's for a heap of cash, which Duco wouldn't offer.
Mike Perez- Seems to be a name mixed in with AJ and Haye for next opponents, but you never know, he may be the TBA.
Andy Ruiz Jr- Like Perez, you just don't know where Ruiz will pop up. He pulled out of his Jan fight most recently.
