    Yep, chortled at those when I read them too. Funny the first couple of times then it starts ruining the legit conversation.

    Rewatched some more Takam fights - man the mix of these guys styles are going to be interesting to watch, I'm really not sure how to expect this fight to play out. It should be pretty exciting. There are things which make me think Parker could really do very well, but other things which I could see making him really struggle.

    They both definitely have aspects of their styles which could trouble the other.

    SIZE is a big factor.

    And KO power. But above all SIZE.

    Size didn't bother him against Tony Thompson and Tony Thompson is bigger/rangier than Parker. He really schooled TTTT, too - around the same time The Tiger destroyed David Price who was the last big UK hope.

    hmmm...

    Povetkin had to tenderize Takam for 10 rounds
    to be able to lay him out...

    it was a slug-fest...

    Takam ain't comin' to lay down...

    Parker gets stopped in this one or loses
    a UD to Takam...

    :yep

    This is a huge step up and fair play to Parker,IMO Takam is a top heavy.How many losses does he have? He clearly won the Perez fight and I'm a Perez fan,loss to POV but held his own up to that point....

    I don't think Takam is slow. I think he lacks a bit of power.

    I really do think Parker will largely dominate from start to finish.

    Kevin Barry shared some short cuts from some of Parker's recent sparring...
    Looks like he there has been work going into some of his areas of potential improvement

    **** off troll. This is about Takam vs Parker, not lower level operators.

    Takam seems an ideal pick for a step up fight for any HW prospect right now though. Not powerful enough to pose much risk of an embarrassing KO. Decent enough name, and ranking atm, that a tight defeat wouldn't be a huge disaster.

    Keep doing what you are doing. As Parker is getting his name out there and 'threatening' the other live contenders on the scene, there will be many more of your type that will start flooding these boards. The last year has seen his stocks grow massively.

    Just make sure you have threads like this bookmarked when I call you out for being wrong AGAIN. Like you did on your other account when you said Meehan and The Tank were going to beat Parker :yep

    Keep up the hate man! Keep those alts multiplying, its all money for Parker at the end of the day :good
