    True that,
    Yeah you can only take so much from pad work, regardless though it's clear to see that Parker is a lot bigger muscle wise than he was a few years back.

    And that's the thing about this being "uncut" those Tyson clips were cut to the point where they had no meaning.

    It’s obvious Parker has been taking the juicy PEDs, no hate as they are all doing it.

    Wardley picked a bad time to fight Parker

    Bieng big and hard hitting shouldn't be enough to top Parker currently.

    My gripe with Parker is that prior to beating Wilder, he always underwhemled when he fought a live one.

    Against Joshua he boxed to survive, who the very next year got turned over in embarassing fasion by a game Ruiz. He lost to an on paper less talented Whyte, in significant part because Whyte wanted it more, whereas a borderline shot almost 41 year old Povetkin iced Whyte with one punch. Joyce never looked as good as he looked against Parker; every other decent heavyweight he fought (Jennings, Dubois, Zhang x2, Chisora, Hrgovic) either pushed him close or beat him. Ruiz and Chisora 1 lost very debatable decisions to Parker. Most of these poor performances (Joshua, Whyte, Ruiz) had the unfortunate side effect of making Joshua look better.

    I'm still skeptical of Parker. I think he's more skilled than he used to be and stronger mentally but he's not that much better and he's battleworn now. Wardley by KO/TKO/DQ at 7/1 is a crazy price.

    But he has done better in the last 2 years/3 fights. Wilder was shot but Parker didn't know that, he was a 5/1 underdog going in and won every round. Zhang was on the cusp of 41 and a stone overweight but Parker was a 2/1 underdog and got off the floor twice to overcome the odds again. He signed to fight Dubois as a 2/1 underdog, who pulled out knowing he'd get the Usyk fight anyway if he did. Bakole was potentially dangerous as a replacement, even though he turned out to be anything but and Parker took him out in style.

    This fight is something of a litmus test. If Parker wins legitimately then he's certainly on the best run of form in his career. If he loses then his level was always fringe top 10 paper titlist.

    Good post, maybe the matchmaking has flattered him. Maybe he has finally maximized his potential. We will see

    Being from NZ, I have watched Parker's career closer than many

    I think the improvement is real, and so too is the upgraded power

    Which is why I favor him to win by KO

    I hope he wins and wins well.

    I for one would like to see Usyk vs Parker if Olek decides to continue.

    Due to less frequency of fighting among the HWs there’s been far too much speculation and writing off of fighters on paper -

    Some people almost seem to treat imagined wins as actual wins on a fighters record.

    See Tyson Fury for same. He’s never fought AJ but so many people still think and believe he has Joshua’s measure. Crazy.

    I think there’s been a sufficient number of fight complexions/outcomes that have reasonably defied the forecasts otherwise.

    That’s why the all important proof of anything is found in the ring.

    Yeah there was a similar thing for the Wardley version, made him and his trainer look shorter.

    Regardless though Parker is definitely looking bigger, can be seen in his other videos as well.

    I actually didn’t think Mike looked that good on the mitts. Good for his age yeah but not really sharp.
