An awkward powerful guy like Bakole is a tall order for a late replacement but the lads from down under don't shy away from any challenge they just want to fight they will take on dangerous men at the 11th hour.
He is not better until proven so. Must I remind you that Dubois lost to Joyce just as Parker did. And Parker actually managed to beat Zhang, who himself beat Joyce.
So, do we already know what happened to Daniel? He felt bad and I know that, but is it a problem like flu or something with the digestive system? It looked great and cut it down in no time. So it's probably some kind of poisoning, but how can such a situation happen at a time like this? I guess our "Forrest Gump" didn't go to test Saudi specialties 2 days before the fight...
Dubois faced Joyce when he was young and inexperienced whereas Parker faced Joyce when he had already seen it all yet Dubois was very competitive while Parker got smashed up. Dubois is in his prime now and demolishes all of them.
As a Fury fan I think I'd probably have to rate Parker above Fury in terms of resume and ultimately legacy if he wins this. Yes Parker fought a bit of a washed Wilder but he dominated him, beat Zhang, very close fight with Ruiz but got his hand raised, fought on away turf to AJ who had a lot of help from the ref, boxed Joe Joyce when he was in fire and regarded as the boogie man of the division. Parker has never ducked anyone that I recall and he deserves a lot of credit for that.
That's not fair - Bakole is a formidable opponent. You should be more reasonable and consider too that Parker has not had any time to prepare for Bakole.
How can he be above Fury Bakole literally has 2 days notice. Fury beat Klitschko and the real Wilder. Parker needs some more big wins to have a better resume
I think I made it pretty clear when I said Parker is far superior to Anderson in my post. I was simply talking about Anderson because it was Bakole's last fight and he dominated. Is it really that difficult to understand?
Fury beat Klitschko, Wilder x3, Chisorax3 (dominantly), Whyte, Cunningham and ran Usyk close twice Parker has beat Ruiz, Chisorax2 (close), Wilder (who looked shot but it may have just been how good Parker was), Zhang and if you add Bakole in there it's arguably better than Fury. Parker has 3 losses Joshua (close and in AJ's prime on AJ's turf), Whyte (close), Joyce (in Joyce's prime) in Parker beats Bakole he's 1 or 2 wins away max of surpassing Fury even though I feel Fury would have beat him. Parker deserves a lot of credit for never ducking anyone.
Parker vs Joshua wasn’t close, Parker has no top class performances against elite opponents either. Wilder was finished. His wins over Ruiz and Hughie Fury were very tight fights as well.
It was probably 8-4 AJ but the referee was biased as out and wouldn't let Parker work inside. As I Fury fan I have to be realistic and say he had very close fights with Wallin among others but yes I agree Parker vs Ruiz was very close you couldn't argue if Parker lost that.
Fury vs Wallin wasn’t close at all. It’s just the cut that made everybody panic knowing the doctor could stop the fight at any time.
