    This is the 2nd thread I’ve caught you saying “Parker isn’t all that good at boxing” sir, you don’t need to be at HW! :sisi1… let’s look at who this 33 year old has fought;

    Chisora x2
    AJ
    Whyte
    Zhang
    Joyce
    Bakole
    Wilder
    Takam
    Wardley
    Ruiz Jnr
    Hughie
    Dimitrenko

    After every loss and set back JP rebuilds and fights the contenders in front of him. It happened after AJ-Whyte, it happened after Joyce and I’m praying it happens after Fabio if anyone deserves a shot in the last 10 years it’s PARKER. He’s an honest pro, old school contender (modern schedule doe…) going by today’s standards he’s probably got 7-ish years left in his career, maybe he’ll learn to box a bit before curtain call Old Foreman style.

    For the most part, none of those guys are all that good either. They are all big, though. Some of them bigger than they should be. But not too good.

    That stoppage was atrocious. And I wanted Wardley to win. Parker was nowhere near done, and Wardley was missing the vast majority of his punches. The ones that were getting through had considerably lost steam as well.

    It doesn't work that way. He would've had a 10-8 and almost definitely won the 12th, giving him a decision win if he somehow failed to stop Parker.

    BTW disagreeing with the moment a stoppage occurs when one guy is getting the absolute crap beaten out of him does't justify the other guy deserving to lose if he's slightly down on the cards.

    It wasn't. The ref stopped it without a major punch landing at the exact moment of stoppage, but Parker was concussed in the 10th and getting the crap beaten out of him without throwing back. Wardley also landed a brutal short chopping right in full view of the ref a few seconds before it got stopped.

    Won’t you say the same of near on anybody who isn’t Louis? Couldn’t we say they were “good” for HW’s above 200lbs? Could any even move like Walcott? 147lbers are typically more skilled then the 200lbers, same applies to the 260lbers and the 200lbers… welter weights don’t beat HW’s and “HW’s” don’t beat whatever we have now without some exceptional compensating of skill.

    "'Good' has a hard time when it's giving up 50 pounds. I know where my money would be.

    My thought to… Barkley was roughly a natural 180-190lber and fought Duran who was solid at 147lbs, that’s a good example of how a Louis type might approach say a Bakole? Just a silly example but I hope you see my point, you need a lot of skill to compensate for it if the opponent is very physical, I’d for example take Barkley to beat Mayweather for the reason being he knew how to fight and Mayweather would be handled like a Whippet trying to tussle with a Pitty. Foreman would lose to many, many SHW’s because he was over reliant on his physicality inverse to this is Holmes who was just a helluva boxer. Whilst Duran beat Barkley could he make a career off it? No that would be unwise management, Louis could fight Wlad but he should stick to cruiser to build a name worth selling.

    Sorry mate but I don't agree.

    Parker got beat up in the 10th round and hadn't fully recovered coming out for the next round.

    Someone did a video counting the punches landed in that final onslaught from Wardley.

    It was 23 unanswered punches in 40 seconds that's quite alot of time and unanswered punches for a fighter not landing anything back.

    Parker should've took a knee or clinched he did neither and he didn't really give the referee any indication that he was fighting back.

    Also Wardley was down on the 2 of the scorecards yes but mathematically he still could've won a decision.

    He was down only 6-4 on one of the scorecards with the other judge having it even.

    The 11th round was looking like a 10-8 round for Wardley so had he won the 12th round aswell he could've won a decision.

    But this is all a moot point Wardley stopped Parker legitimately and I don't really see what all the fuss is about regarding stoppage I've seen far worse.

    Btw are you this dude on reddit?
    https://www.reddit.com/user/Doofensanshmirtz/
    Cause if you are not cool stealing other people's threads from here and then posting them on reddit as your own without giving them credit. You did that a few times before you got called out. Just saying.
