    Curious about how people rank his scalps.

    I'd put Takam over Fury he was 33-1 when Parker beat him.

    1. Zhang
    2. Wilder
    3. Ruiz
    4. Chisora
    5. Takam

    1. Zhang
    2. Ruiz
    3. Wilder
    4. Chisora
    5. Takam or H. Fury; the fifth place in the TOP 5 is the least important.
    Parker took down the "zero" Ruiz.
    Wilder was dead when he lost to Parker.

    Overall I would say Parker is my favorite heavy weight of this generation, except for Usyk. I love the fact that the smaller guys have shown that talent, dedication and skills will overcome these big bums.

    God forbid if we could actually have fantasy fights materialize somehow, the old time greats would murder these big bums.

    Agree with names mentioned.


    I had Parker nicking it against Whyte too over the dodgy reffing and scoring.

    Probably not a top 5 win but Jack Massey is a better win than many rate it

    I wouldn't call Parker a small heavyweight. He often weighs close to 250 lbs.

    Yes, but he generally looks smaller than his opponents on the average I would think, or maybe that's just the way I perceive it.

    I would guess

    Ruiz (at the time, young undefeated HW title challenger and future HW champ)
    Zhang
    Wilder
    Chisora
    Takam

    4 & 5 were hard to decide and could arguably put them in the opposite order based on times of fights respectively
    I could have possibly made an argument and had H Fury, or A Dimitrenko at 5

    Not a top 10 win or even 15 for Parker

    Judges would have had it a draw without the dodgy headbutt KD

    I scored it folr Parker even taking that into consideration

    I scored it narrowly for Whyte doing the same. A draw would have been reasonable. Or at least a rematch somewhere down the line.

    I would like to see Parker Whyte 2 actually. I think it would benefit Parker to avenge some of his losses. For now:

    1. Ruiz Jr. (27 yr 2 m)

    2. Zhang (40 yr 10 m)
    3. Wilder (38 yr 2 m)
    4. Takam (35 yr 5 m)
    5. Chisora 2 (38 yr 11m)
