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

He will always be a solid top 10 guy but I just don't see him as the type to win a belt. I'd compare him to Tony Tucker in the 80's, very good but lacking something to beat the best.

 

Parker could be a threat, he is young enough, big enough and has a decent skill set, but he would require someone to to work on his mindset.

So yes if he found a wise boxing trainer who could train the mind as well as the body, and he adhered to that trainers game plan then hell yeah he could be a threat, just needs to channel his hidden Samoan warrior spirit.

 

Think Parker lacks a bit of killer instinct or mental fortitude. Seemed to just accept defeat against Joshua rather than having a proper go and lost to Whyte in my view simply because Whyte wanted it more.

 

He’s a good fighter and belongs in the Top 10 but nothing more, he lost his biggest fights against Joshua and Whyte, had a couple of good wins against Takam, Hughie Fury, Ruiz and of course two wins against Chisora, although the win against Ruiz was somehow suspicious, the same goes for the first fight against Chisora...

 

Kronk Parker is the heir apparent

When all the older guys retire.

He is younger than all of them.....

 

In this Era definitely....Apart from the Top 2 the rest are pretty average so will have an impact.!!!

 

Nope, I’ve had the pleasure of getting punched in the face by him and seen him beat up guys in the gym and he’s everything but feather fisted, not devastating 1 punch dead power but definitely above average power for a hard hitting heavyweight.

 

No
