    Pretty impressive I'd say.

    Recently too, when the talks about Szpilka's fight against Adamek started.

    No, in the fight against Botha. Parker has great punching power, no doubt. He just doesn't seem to go that far. Bad movement, just some kind of brawler. Little bit below Arreola's level, worlds above Szpilka but not the likes of Fury or Ruiz Jr.

    I am not calling him a bum though.

    In your opening post of this thread only an hour ago you said "Parker is an average prospect who won't go far in this sport."

    Are you already backing away from that opinion only an hour later?

    He shouldn't have turned his head like that to avoid the punch, defend yourself at all times!

    Again, it's my opinion now. I think Parkeris average and he won't go far. Tha's not a reason though to stop watching his fights. I enjoy boxing. He may develop or not, for me he's the same level as Joshua right now and I am not thinking of him as a good boxer either. They remind me more of David Price than Tyson Fury.

    So, that means I have to keep an eye on him. Maybe I will be wrong or not. He's not as bad as Szpilka though, so I am not calling him a bum right now.

    I watched the fight, was impressed with Parker in only 8th pro fight, way to soon to be calling him a future contender he is still just a kid who beat a blown up cruiserweight, a good win tho. He is only 24 with 8 fights good Amatuer and Olympian, but needs to feast on a few more hasbeens and bums of different styles.

    Nobody who has posted in this thread follows his logic or shares his opinion.

    Parker is a lot more promising than any of the coddled hypejobs in the states these days, this much we know. Wins over Botha, Minto, and Nascimento in under 10 fights. Not too shabby if you ask me.

    Parker has potential and is moving up fast. He has already beaten better fighters that Wilder...................by far..............

    Parker beat a small blown up cruiser, a padded up to eyeballs Nashi and an old washed up old drunk.

    It usually takes a couple of years to get that good:deal:rofl:D:yep:thumbsup:hi:

    Perhaps one day registration here will include an IQ test? Can only hope.
