I actually moaned loads about the fight when it was announced. I was on here saying that Whyte would deal with him, that he was shot to ribbons, that he lost to Hunter etc. So you’re right, the scalp of that version of Povetkin would not have impressed me in the slightest. They knew he was shot...but Whyte does like to call out shot fighters like he called out David Haye right after getting bingo’d off Bellew. He wanted easy PPV money for a ‘name’.

Parker was not a conclusive victory. Said it so many times now and no doubt people are bored of me saying it.

Agree, the povetkin loss had a bit of Price vs Tony Thompson about it for me. Ok, prime povetkin was better than Thompson but it exposed his flaws. His career is a lot of smoke and mirrors for me. He’s not a bad fighter and I enjoy watching him (been to most of his fights at the o2) but he’s been so well managed. Arguably Hearn’s greatest achievement, convincing the world he is a top 3/4 heavyweight and worthy of PPV. All while struggling with past it gatekeepers and drinking special shakes to get any edge he can.

His vulnerabilities are what make him exciting to watch. He believed his own hype too much vs Povetkin.
