    A fresh start with a new trainer would help him immensely but that's been stated for years. A trainer who would ''unleash the beast'' and make him less apprehensive he needs.

    I think Sugar Hill Steward would be perfect for him if he hasn't retired.

    Not to mention he was robbed against Whyte and performed admirably against Joshua

    He's going to have to make some noise and the only way to do that is to beat a solid fighter.. Kownacki would be a good choice, he's coming off a loss and he's easy to hit

    With NZ starting up rugby again with crowds after pretty much eliminating the CV ... I can't understand why Parker/Fa isn't happening there.

    Seems that if ever there was a time to make this kind of fight it would be now.

    Team Fa are pricing themselves out.

    Parker vs Martin or Helenius would be a good comeback fight.

    Parker 60/40 imo close fight

    We all know how limited Parker is, but Hrgovic against Molina looked defenseless and somewhat weak

    This kind of scenario isn't going to be around for too much longer (hopefully).

    Can't really think of what a better option for Fa would be?

    Fa will chase a title shot probably.

    Parker may face Browne in NZ - better than nothing - to get the ball rolling

    Wait.

    Browne and Fa and Helenius are the top opponents?

    I was thinking Parker-Ruiz II or Parker-Ortiz. They are the guys directly above him in the WBC ratings.

    I am thinking of a fight in the current "Covid" environment.

    That is why Fa or Browne are being looked at.
