    Of all the HWs today

    Parker on a good night has SPEED on his side.

    But what about against USYK ??

    They times when I think I got speed on my side but then I realize when you take that ish it ain't on nobody's side, Kiwi. You can't be about that life and be a professional. Cept a airline pilot or a ER doctor.

    In that fight, the only speed we'd be talking about, would be the speed that Parker hit the canvas.

    Obviously no. Usyk is on different level compared to Parker, and always was

    Nobody right now.

    Some of them has good movement to trouble his for couple of rounds, but after two rounds he will make adjustments and win that fight.

    Andy Ruiz Junior ? He is probably quicker than sleepy Parker. 100% percent .

    Back to the question at hand, no.

    The speed jokes are funny given the allegations that he's involved in meth trafficking

    Trouble him? No not really, speed can be a boon but it can also be a handicap if you rely on it too much which you see in boxers like Parker, Khan, Russel Jr. Much like boxers who rely on power too much they neglect other skills and it's the same with speedsters.

    Problem Parker would have vs Usyk is getting off to use his speed. Usyk moves so well, constantly changing angles that Parker wouldn't be able to set to punch, he'd be relegated to throwing single punches as he can't ever get into position to throw his combinations. Usyk wins a clear wide decision.

    Parker has decent hand speed but rarely commits to using it. Usyk would probably make him gun shy anyway
