    parker stinks. wilder hasn't a decent win to his name at 38. the new normal when guys only fight every 18 months or so against cherrypicked opposition.

    I'm not diminishing the win at all, I said it was still a good win for average joe, but to even suggest Wilder was 100% is disingenuous, but hey ho.

    Let's see how this "new" parker does in his next fight eh!

    Edit... and yes I did fully expect Wilder to starch Parker good, I really did, and I'm not even a Wilder fan, I know how garbage he is, I just really confidently expected him to highlight reel Joe.

    Well after the Usyk fight everyone wrote AJ off as past his best, but he just dominated Wallin in 5 rounds. Maybe Parker is just that good when it comes to Wilder. Hopefully we can see a few more fights from Parker and Wilder to see how this fight ages.

    That a step backwards for Parker. He'd be better off fighting Zhang.

    I agree. Zhang is better

    They need to have their eyes toward the belts

    Ok, parker isn't championship quality, in spite of the fact he was handed one for one fight. Neither was wilder, but wilder is American, so gets a lot more breaks/protection.

    Look at these kiwis crawling out because their guy finally got a “win” against a shot to **** fighter who didn’t train at all.

    Pretty sure we all had him 119-109, very easy fight to score. It could've been 120-108 ( I pity gave Wilder round 12).

    I don't know if it's the "new" Parker but I oddly think he'd do much better against Zhang than Joyce (despite having been melted by Joyce).

    That doesn't actually answer the question. In your opinion, what is good?

    :lol::lol:

    If that is the case, he should hand back all of his ill gotten gains, and be charged with fraud...

    Oh wait, he has done this throughout his whole career!!
