    If your opinion is shaped entirely by the result on boxrec without watching the fight, then sure.

    It would be good if the winners from the fights Dubois vs. Parker and Zhang vs. Kabayel would fight each others, whatever the outcome, the fights would be great...

    After quickly reading p1 I'm like many here. I'm rooting for Joe, but realize he could lose, maybe by stoppage. I voted Parker by decision.

    Some say Parker is boring this & boring that :rolleyes: To me he's one of the better good sports among top HW boxers. I was pulling for Joe vs. ZZ & Wilder, and not stopping now.

    Joe Parker has some excellent boxing skills, as we saw in the Zhang and Wilder fights..

    For a real boxing fan who appreciated the sweet science, he's not boring.

    Parker is not a wrong style for Wilder lol. Wilder was just 40 and shot to absolute bits and still got robbed. @Kiwi Casual @KiwiMan @Kiwi_in_America your boy is going to get stopped by Dubois

    How on earth did Wilder get robbed? Do you need a new set of glasses?

    I wonder what the excuses will be when Parker wins next...

    You honestly think Wilder was robbed, or are you just messing with us?

    It was a wide and clear win for Parker.

    I did watch the fight, and it doesn't change a damn thing. It was one of if not the worst versions of Parker we've ever seen. End of. Smh

    Looking back at this after seeing Parker's and Dubois last performances I think I'm leaning more towards a Parker KO now. Parker showed that he has one punch KO power when he needs against a guy who has never been wobbled before in the Bakole fight.

    And Usyk dismantled the new and "improved" Dubois that everyone was hyping up. Parker and Andy Lee had a game plan to take away Dubois' jab and come in under his guard with his own jab just like Usyk did in the first round of their second fight.

    I'm sure Parker wouldn't have pulled it off as smoothly, but I'm also sure that he would have outboxed Dubois, shown him that he had enough power to keep Dubois honest, and has a solid enough chin to eat a shot or two that Dubois threw back.

    Dubois was coming into that Parker fight expecting he could just steam roll over Parker, as a lot of fans and pundits were also expecting but he would have been in for a nasty shock, in hindsight it was 100% the right decision not to fight Parker because Dubois would have lost.

    Anyone else see this differently after their last fights?
