    That ain't fair. Your gonna have to negotiate a far better offer than that. Me avatar is far better than yours and so is the forum title.

    Look if you win, you get to pick my username (i.e Rockradar) to whatever you like and change my picture. Its hardly a mansion.

    I thought you were confident in Hughies ability to beat Parker. You sure came across like that. However, now we know...:)

    Lol your confidence in Hughie is obviously not as high as your words as proven in our traded posts. The undefeated Hughie has proven to be a force in the division and for that gets my respect. If I was a Hughie fan, I would equally be able to understand and respect what Parker has achieved. I'm a Parker fan but I like to look at things with some objectivity. If I was to talk up a fighter as confidently as you are, I'd be willing to back it up so that people know I'm not talking Sh...nonsense. All good and excuse me if you are feeling pressured to take a friendly bet, I don't mean to pressure anyone at all. Should be a good fight :)

    Parker has knocked several fighters unconscious and brutalised several more. His punching power is legit.

    His punching power is decent but not elite. The guys he's clean KO'd have been lesser ranked fighters generally. As he's moved up in class his power has become less of a factor. I see his main strengths being solid fundamentals and decent speed combined with enough power to dissuade...

    Well, he never troubled Takam and Nascimento busted his eardrum in a longer than expected fight.

    Mostly agreed.

    Parker certainly has decent punching power. Yes, his two best opponents have been able to take it (Takam/Ruiz), but Dimitrenko for example was frightened stiff. So yes, AJ/Wlad/Wilder etc. have more power, but Parker's power is still legitimate IMHO.

    Parker's biggest assets are good speed and a very good chin, combined with solid technique.
