    How good is he?

    3 fights since joining Frank - 3 knockouts over 3 opponents who’d never been stopped.

    Talk of Canelo is silly but if Canelo moves up I’d favour him to win a vacant belt and be in some exciting fights.

    Hard to gauge until he steps up to European Level but was quite impressed last night. Big frame for Super middle and seems to carry genuine power; Nice shot selection to finish the job off last night too.

    Parker clearly carry’s legit power. Very good shot selection, switch’s stances smoothly and he is an absolute unit at 168.

    Obviously the Canelo thing isn’t going to happen anytime soon if at all, but it’s a good way of marketing him and I feel Frank has done a great job building his profile.

    They always seem to struggle to secure an opponent. I think they tried for Fielding, but he didn’t want to know .

    Warren is going to have to really dig into his pocket to get a better opponents, after seeing what Zach is all about.

    He looks good and his win over Murdock is underrated. Murdock may not of had the best resume but he is a tough guy and had a hard time trying to get opponents in Australia as not many wanted to fight him.

    Looks good but think needs a step up fight a sort of rosado type to really gage where he's at.

    He called out Eubank Jr last night. I’d quite like to see that fight in 2022.

    He looked good as an amateur and when he was first breaking through but since then he’s flattered to deceive. A win over Marcus Morrison doesn’t change my mind about that. He won’t go on to do anything or be anything special.

    He lost quite clearly to Daryll Williams who I really felt for at the time, but I think Parker had an injury in that one. Since that, he seems to have gone from strength to strength and is looking really good every time. Marcus Morrison isn’t a soft touch, talented lad and he’s stopped him well there.

    I remember that. Did his shoulder very early didn't he and basically boxed one handed for the rest? Was on a Josh Taylor undercard.

    He looked good on the weekend - clearly has ability and the body shots he was whipping in were lovely.

    Managed by Neil Marsh too who I think will do a very good job for him. I've liked Neil ever since he took on the whole of Matchroom by himself with the Kelly/Ava debacle.
