I posted this before the figtht: Parker is ridiculously overrated. I had him losing to Ruiz and Fury along with his losses to Whyte, Joshua, and Joyce. Joyce nearly put him out to pasture. Parker in that fight threw more punches than nearly any time in his career and showed more determination. Still got absolutely obliterated. Since Joyce he's boxed two no marks, Jack Massey who he couldn't put a dent in and looked rocked at one point. He beat the ghost of the shell of Wilder who was old and couldn't throw a punch. Still couldn't put him down even for a count. Scraped past Zhang because Z ishang was forties and well overweight and had zero stamina. We've seen both of them flattened in the next fights. Parker couldn't put a dent in either. Bakole took it on something like 36 hours' notice. Fat as a pig. No camp. Two or three flights. Zero sleep. Didn't even have gloves that fit him properly. Wardley is no legend but he's younger, fresher, more active, and on the up than the lot Parker's beat recently. Who has Parker KO'd in his entire career? Coming in that heavy is going to do him no favours. I've met him twice and he's not a very big bloke. He's 6 foot 3 at best and he has pumped himself up to that weight. That will sap his stamina. He's no spring chicken at 33 either. I can't think of a single KO in his career that impressed against a proper opponent. This whole Andy Lee thing is a load of tosh. I'm not saying he won't win, as Wardley has only been in against a couple of decent opponents and I'm not sure how good he is, but Wardley would probably have beaten all of those opponents Parker has, easily, and stopped them also. I couldn't see Wardley going life and death with an ancient Chisora either. I am hoping the Parker hype train ends tonight. He's bored us to death for ten year and that's enough as far as I'm concerned. I don't fall for the nice guy act either.
