    If you want people to take you seriously at least add something useful (or hey, even relevant) to the conversation.

    I guess that is a possibility, but that doesn't negate the poor officiating he's received in both of his major UK fights. The first being AJ having Moses as a referee, the second being Whyte with a referee being blind to illegal rough-housing and even awarding KDs for it.

    My point is its irrelevant what happened with the alleged headbutt
    It happened and he lost
    He couldnt come back enough to win
    Parker fans always have a could of, should of defense

    Face it, he just isn't that good

    But i think you got my point

    And my point is very relevant

    Team Parker actually agreed the ref for the AJ fight after playing up during fight week

    Wasn't happy with the ref assigned but signed off in an Italian ref, no ones seen since

    Unlike Whyte, Parker was a belt holder. He also beat Andy Ruiz, has only two losses both of which were controversial. And that makes him not good?

    The headbutt not irrelevant, it was an illegal move that had it not happened would have greatly changed the outcome of the fight.

    Just because they agreed on the ref doesn't make poor refereeing OK. You could probably name dozens of fights that have been ruined or controversial based on the refeering.

    I base Parker not being very good on what i see in the ring

    Whyte didnt headbutt him on purpose, it admittedly was a clash of heads that Parker came off a lot worse in

    He lost minus the KD in my view
    Whyte was still at least 2 rounds ahead

    The headbutt wasn't intentional both came in with their heads and Parker came off worse. Head clashes happen in boxing they rarely alter the outcome of the fight, for you to state it greatly altered the outcome is pure speculation on your part.

    The headbutt had Parker rocked for several rounds

    Again that's just speculation on your part. He seemed fine in the next round, eyes focused intently on Whyte, moving fine, landing shots, hardly seemed like a guy who was hurt.

    He was definitely impacted after that headbutt. I suggest rewatching the fight.

    I rewatched it before responding to you in case my memory of the fight was off, I simply don't see what you see.

    In the very next round he doesn't look hurt at all he was very competitive in the next round, Whyte perhaps slightly on top and then Whyte roughs him up near the end of the round only for Parker to fire right back. Not exactly what I would describe as a fighter who is hurt.

    Parker looked like he usually does, his jab was a liability, every time he throws it Whyte counters, when Parker unloads he falls in and is countered.

    Also what happened in the Chisora fight, did Whyte sneak into his dressing room before and head butt him then too because even though I thought he beat Chisora he struggled in that fight too.

    Fact is Parker isn't as good as you and I hoped. I recall when both Parker and AJ were seen as the 2 best prospects around 2015/2016 and rightly so, but one improved a lot the other didn't. Parker has talent in abundance but not the skills to match his talent, he's really no better than Whyte or Chisora, making excuses for the Whyte loss doesn't change that.

    Well we may indeed interpret whether or not Parker was hurt differently. That's fine.

    With the Chisora fight I feel not only has Chisora massively improved as a fighter, but you also need to realize Parker has only just switched trainers and had him for only a month or two. Not really enough to make massive changes. His trainer also said Parker was slipping into bad old habits and that they hadn't had enough time to iron those out yet.

    Parker has (finally) gotten rid of Barry who I felt made him change into too cautious a fighter, and is still plenty young enough to make the right adjustments. I'd like to see a definitive rematch with both Whyte and Chisora, with hopes that Parker puts himself on the right track again.
