Parker = 4th best of this era.

parker would be far more fearsome were he to exist on a diet of good American brisket and a reasonably good bourbon

 

What happened with all that meth ring stuff?

 

Absolute nonsense. The 90s is seen as a great era of heavyweight boxing and had Bentt, Hide, Morrison and a whole load of other also rans hold titles.

 

Nope. Prime Wilder was a media myth. He blew threw cabbies and became basic in his first real fight, barely getting past 38yr old Ortiz in their initial match. Then he was gifted a draw w Fury before being brutally stopped twice. Then he was completely useless against Parker and Zhang when he was 38yr olds...so a fan has to do some mental cartwheels to make Wilder a Top 5 HW even in this era.

 

No Neck is a hardcore Wilder apologist so obviously we have to pretend that Ortiz was something he wasn't otherwise Wilder's paper thin resume looks even worse. Must be hard times for him now seeing him having been utterly exposed.

 

You sound like your feelings got seriously hurt by Wilder being one of the three men playing musical chairs at the top of the division until a couple of years ago. But on brighter note, time heals all wounds.

 

I don't even know who you are.

 

Nah. He struggled with Junior Fa who got KO’d by Lucas Browne. Fa got stopped by Sanchez who got stopped by Kabayel. Parker is only now reaching his ceiling, but he beat a past it Wilder on the way there. Struggled to a SD against Chisora and got KO’d by Joyce who is a literal punching bag.

1. Usyk
2. Joshua
3. Fury
4. Wilder

The rest is a complete toss up

 

I have a feeling if Fury was to fight the next guys in line he'd probably lose a few like Wilder and he'd drop down everyones list, he's been well managed.

 

So by your logic Parker is still better than Wilder. I agree.

 

If Parker had had a fair run at it he may well have beaten Whyte. A rematch would have been good but I doubt Whyte would have liked rolling the dice again straight after that.
