Some reports that Joe Parker is cleared to come back. Not sure if true.

    Whereas im the opposite and dont see what he has to offer? What would u consider are his signature wins? A win over Ruiz by close points 10 years ago.....beating Chisora.....a washed up Wilder? Try tell me what it is im missing about Parkers record being good?

    Zhang too, which is the best win that Kabayel has.

    He's also game to fight anyone which is something I wished the rest of the division had.

    I think Parker would cause Itauma a few issues providing he didn't come in too damn heavy like his last fight.

    Not a great match up for Parker though given the wear and tear he has already.

    Probably served a 12 month drug ban, so we'll see him fight in late October onwards or something.

    I hope so. Always likes Parker! Definitely one of the few HWs of this generation who fights anyone.

    It's so bizarre people think he fights anyone. They must not have followed him for very long.
    After losing to AJ in a fight he came to not get KO'd and lose on points, he basically fought nobody for years.
    Why didn't he fight wilder during THAT period? Many others too.
    Also funny how he's just done a drug ban but everyone shrugs it off and still claims he's a great guy.
    Shows you the ridiculous bias people have in this sport.

    LOL. He didn't fight Wilder because he wasn't a medically unfit cripple.

    Parker v Huni in Australia would be good to see.

    It was a lifted suspension. If he were banned, he'd still be serving it...
