    Arreola was always garbage, beating him means nothing. I rate Martin's win over Alex Flores higher than both of Stiverne's fat sack of garbage wins combined. Ray Austin was old as hell and shot to bits and was still outboxing Stiverne until he gassed.

    I don't know....Alex Flores is awful. He should've lost to Avery Gibson, the same guy who got beaten by Razvan Kojanu

    That means that Martins 2nd best win is worse than Parkers 5th or 6th best...

    No way. He's not even the worst of the last 20 years, nevermind ever...

    Stiverne, Martin, Bentt. etc.

    He's not a paper champ but neither is he a threat to AJ and I'd maybe add AJs next opponent in Pulev.
    He struggled against Ruiz as well so he's got some flaws to work on

    Parker biggest problem is he doesn't do anything that well. At the top level he's average at everything. He doesn't have Wilder's athleticism, Joshua's power, or Ortiz's skill. Parker has mediocre punching power, stiff footwork, and average stamina.

    Yeah 100% people over look these wins because they Wernt in a hugely convincing manner, everybody wants to see knockouts in the heavyweight division rightly or wrongly people seem to dismiss a win on points when it comes to heavyweights, but at same time These fights haven't been hugely convincing wins and could of swung the other way, he needs a new trainer!

    Not the worst, but he won't be hanging on to that belt much longer.

    I think he's good when fighting someone that wants to fight but has shown his limitation against runners. This tells me he is susceptible to being outboxed. I think he fairs much better against someone like Deontay that actually wants to trade. The Fury I watched today also outboxes Deontay

    Wilder the wino beater is the worst! Joshua will knock him out if Old Man Ortiz doesn't beat him to it!

    Worst? Of course not. Not when we have heroes like Charles Martin.

    But he really is quite lousy and I'd be surprised if he held the belt much longer considering he just barely beat the half decent boxers he's fought.

    Wilder has a 97 percent KO ratio. Parker hasn't stopped anyone in 36 rounds. I feel a sleep watching Parkers fights, my granny has more power in her walking stick than that overrated samoan.
