Does anyone think Parker could be a big threat going forward?

    Certainly, once he gets a heart transplant.

    Outside of Usyk, Fury and Joshua, he’s probably the best of the rest.

    An underrated victory on Joshua’s resume.

    Agreed, Drama.

    He needs to keep showing his new "Kronk" attitude and more will notice the improvement.

    Minus the "retiring" guys

    name some HWs that can definitely beat "Kronk" Parker.

    No.

    Stayed with Kevin Barry out of loyalty, when it was obvious for at least a few years that he had stagnated/not learned anything under his tutelage. You don't get those years back.

    Fringe contender type and that’s the best he will be. I could see him winning a belt whenever Fury/Usyk/Joshua are gone, but he won’t keep it long.

    I don't think there is any "think" about it...he lost. He got knocked down and massively outlanded. There is no metric by which he won.

    Will be be a threat going forward? Well, he is in his 20s, so yes, he will age well. But he will not be a threat as well as Usyk and Fury head up the division.

    I think he's more of a cruiser, definitely a fatty. The question is does he beat Fury, AJ, Wilder, Usyk ... I say no, so he probably doesn't win a belt again. He might beat AJ in a rematch if he went all out but could get KO'd too. There's a reason he didn't put it on the line in the first fight.

    Based on what we've seen so far, no. While he showed improvement against Chisora, he still has some crucial stylistic flaws that would see him beaten by the very top guys like Fury, Usyk and Joshua. He needs to show me more before I see him being a threat to any of them.

    I mentioned this before. He’s for sure probably more suited to be a Cruiserweight but I’m sure he doesn’t want to drop the weight. As for is he’s a threat, I don’t think Joseph Parker himself believes he’s a big threat. Best thing he has going for him is I believe AJ, Usyk, Fury and Wilder all have at most 2 years left in them. His age could allow for him to get another title once they all leave if none of the other young HWs make that leap..

    Because he did it in a far more dominant way. It's not that impressive, but he was more dominant over Chisora than anyone I've seen. Not even Fury kicked his ass that bad. He just jabbed him all night.

    It’s such a shame how he was robbed against Whyte.

    Parker and Whyte both suck balls though

    No, he's got a transmission problem. He can't get out of third gear.
