    Tomorrow is massive. I heard a herd of Stags were seen crossing the Irish Sea to Scotland. They are seeking a new grazing paddock. Weeding out the thistles.

    Parker would knock Wilder out.

    I got Wilder here, never been that high on Parker he's solid but nothing special. Ruiz Jr touched him up.

    Grade: C
    Wilder has faced equal, if not more pressure since winning title than Parker has. So, your prediction is based on false data bearing an erroneous conclusion.
    Repeat Boxing 101 course!

    Fair point. I really dont think Parkers bluffing and if the fight happens...then some people might be wrong about Parker.

    On waiting for Wilder - yeah Parker shouldnt have to but I hope he does. Its just Hughie Furys name is been mentioned a lot so thats another tough fight that maybe get an announcement.

    The joys of being a Parker fan - we get either Fury or Wilder :) no televised blown up Wawryzk sparring session lol, nah just joking, thats going to be a great...fight? perhaps knockout is the best word, hard to call that a fight with all respect to the champ Wilder.

    Both Parker and Wilder *TALK*. Who do they actually fight in the ring, that's what we judge them for. Wilder is facing Wawrzyk, Parker likely Hugie Fury. Neither of these opponents have beaten an opponent inside the Boxrec top #25.

    Watch them talk about fighting eachother. Fight a bum. Win. Then say "I want Wilder/Parker/AJ next". Then fight a bum again. Rinse and repeat.

    And thats a good point. Joe does have defensive frailties and doesnt want to be wearing any of Wilders shots. While Joe has been tagged and has never really been wobbled or knocked out, it doesnt mean it cant happen and Wilder is extremely good at finding out if you can be knocked out or not.

    Hughie Fury is undefeated and Wawryzk has fought Povetkin. Boxrecs top #25 must have some new names in there.

    Hugie hasn't fought a SINGLE fringe contender. Not one. With a padded record liks his the mark 'unbeaten' leaves a sour taste in ones mouth. Wawryzk best achievement is getting stopped by Povetkin. Again, he hasn't beaten a single top 25 fighter. These two defenses are awful and the sad truth is both fighters are using eachothers name to hype up their BUM FIGHTS -- not in order to setup a genuine unification fight between themselves.

    I'd probably put Rudenko on my HW top25. That's a vastly underrated win for Hughie, and Kassi was a good win as well. And now that Haye forfeited from the WBO mandatory position, Hughie Fury is the highest rated challenger. There are easily half a dozen names on WBO ranking who are weaker than him that Parker could choose from.

    Parker vs H. Fury is an good fight and a very interesting match up.

    Very funny is Wawryzk best achievement but probably true. Yeah I tend to agree because when I watch Furys fights theyre all against nobodys and his fights arent that impressive but I do respect Fury for getting as far as he has undefeated but yeah I know what youre saying. Absolutely.

    I bet he can take them, I mean Drummer boy took them for 9 rounds, and Parker should be able to get at that weak chin before 12 is up

    Look I'm not primarily (well a little) knocking Wilder or Parker fighting this B and C level opposition. But the main point that makes me angry is they keep talking about "big fights" when in reality they have no intention of delivering them. The talk only serves to get headlines to sell the C class opponents. It's a scam, I really hate that.

    Go fight your C level bums, fine. I understand investments have to be paid back to investors, handlers and managers. I get the whole "risk/reward" idea. Just don't promise us fights you do not intend to deliver anytime soon.

    Could be. I thought Molina, Duhaupas and Szpilka were going to be blow outs as well but they were surprisingly competitive affairs (relatively speaking). Wawrzyk makes Szpilka look iron chinned though so I have my doubts about this one.

    Oh yeah, being a Parker fan is awesome.
