I think Parker is going to expose/dismantle everything Wilder is, a pure business protected hypejob.

Parker may well have his moments and could even be ahead on points but at some point as usual Wilder nukes him. First two rounds should be interesting unless Wilder bombs him out early, just to see what game plan Parker employs to deal with Wilders power . Unless Wilder has completely aged out during his inactivity it’s hard to look past a Wilder KO victory .

 

Wilder had to had something for them to be able to promote him this way, and Parker is war-torn and not so great.

Rooting for the man, but not making predictions.

 

Parker will fight Wilder like Deontay is radioactive and try to stay from him away at all costs. Can't see him committing himself to throwing many power shots and then Deontay unloads.

 

I agree with your Wilder assessment wholeheartedly - problem is that Parker, much as I like him, might not be the one to pin hopes on because of how much of a tepid wet blanket he can be. He does possess every tool for the job, but I worry perhaps not the fire in his belly.

 

Parker is washed up and wasn’t that great to begin with. He does possess a skill set that if prime I think would be an issue for Wilder, such as lateral movement and fast hands but at this point this fight was made because they know Parker is on the downside

 

Has Parker ever really gone for it? I'd love him to come out for the KO but he'll probably try to fight smart and get stopped in the later rounds. Also, Simon Kean lmao, Breazale, Helenius or Washington would stop that guy early.

 

There's a Three Stooges film where Curly is a boxer, and sort of a ham and egger until you play the song "Pop Goes The Weasel", upon which hearing it turns him into this absolute wrecking machine. I wish Parker had some kind of trigger like that his team could use to finally unleash the bloodthirsty version of Joe we've always wanted.

 

Eight bouts, seven title fights, 5-2-1 record, 13 knockdowns scored.

Tyson Fury said Wilder gave him brain damage in their third title fight.

Meanwhile, in his last eight, Parker fought Shawndell Winters, Jack Massey, Faiga Opelu, Simon Kean, Junior Fa, had to fight the ancient journeyman Chisora twice because he essentially lost the first one, and got steamrolled by Joyce ...

His main job in recent years has been as Fury's sparring partner and DJ.

Hell, Helenius with one arm beat a Prime Chisora TEN years before Parker was picking himself off the deck against the grizzled old Del Boy.

You don't think Helenius couldn't beat Shawndell, Fa, Massey, Faiga and Kean?

You're bashing Wilder's last eight, while Parker was fighting true nobodies.

Wilder's opponents in his last eight fights are better than any active heavyweight's opponents in their last eight fights.

Most of you guys were so busy bashing him in recent years you failed to notice that.

 

In fact, if Wilder comes in at 214 again, Deontay could be the lightest "name" fighter on the card entering the ring that night ... aside from Bivol.

(Opetaia is likely to rehydrate and enter the ring right around that for his cruiserweight defense.)

And the 38-year-old Wilder is STILL expected to score an explosive, brutal KO over the 31-year-old former WBO champ Parker, who will likely outweigh Wilder by a good 20 to 30 pounds or more.

Even people picking Parker think the skinny, bird-legged, 38-year-old inactive Wilder will probably destroy him with one shot.

It's funny, people love to bash Wilder. But when their favorite fighter goes against him, they all go, "Wilder probably wins but I hope (fill in the blank) scores an upset."

At least the thread starter had the guts to pick his guy.

Makes you wonder if most people around here even believe what they say when it comes to Wilder.

 

I picked Fury to beat Wilder in every one of their fights and to Brook him up, smash him to pieces in the 2nd bout.

I wouldn't pick Fury to beat Wilder in a 4th bout. You can only play with the devils fire 3 times using the armour of god to protect you.

 

I don't generally trust the ring, and I don't think he was ranked top 10 before the fight, but I'm happy to be proved wrong if you have them. Do you have the ring rankings from before Jennings fought him?

Edit: I read the rest of your post

Your point being what exactly? Your evidence is that Ortiz lost a fight clean (both according to the judges and your boxrec fan consensus) one in which he was dropped 3 times, your conclusion is that therefore Ruiz was avoiding him? That literally makes no sense.

My hypothesis from back in the day (see below from March 2020) was the the PBC were keeping Ruiz and Ortiz apart, at least until the Wilder v Fury trilogy was resolved. And that was exactly what they did.

 

I don't see much on Perez';s resume to suggest a top 10 ranking.

 

Im not talking that Parker got better resume in last 8 fight. I only disagree with Your opinion that this prove that he was not protected boxer. Because he was.

Yes his resume look quiet good when You dont delve into details and dont care about circumstances.
When You know details it looks much worse.

And details show You that he avoid better fight to destroy again and again same opponents or he just use WBC servile organization for making his champion duties easy as possible.

And here we go. We got reematch with Stiverne. Fight what should never, ever happend because Stiverne done absolultly nothing to have chance like that again. He got perfect mandatory fight with Povetkin but he avoid him for almost 2 years. I dont talk about this bull**** doping case because it stinks from miles. He got better fight and choose horrible one.

Next case is Dominic Breazele. He should fight with Whyte who was higher in ranking but dont know why (I know why- because he dont want fight with Dillian) WBC again making mandatory someone who dont deserve it.
Next we got Fury case. Even Tyson was not best option in that time when they fight first time. It was Joshua but he clearly take him because he look weak in his comeback fight and they belive that Fury "pillow fist" cant heart him. Fury became numero uno later. When he comeback it was not best fight.

Next is Robert Helenius. Ok he got good win over Kownacki but this fight still sucks end of the day because Robert was knockout by Gerald Washington...

Ortiz 1 fight was good move but again repeat this was clearly because Wilder like him and knew he got advantage...

Wilder was protected. Reematch with Fury after hard beating was not brave act- he just must took this fight because he have no choice. Not much to loose, all to win

And one more. Tyson Fury talk a lot... Brain damage You said? He also talk in past (twice) that Wladimir Klitschko punching harder than Wilder. You belive every single word Fury said?

 

Parker? We're talking about the same Parker right?

 

As idiot and as unskilled boxer Wilder can be, it's never a good idea to understimate him. This guy has a bazooka instead of a right arm, and I don't see Parker being able to deal with it.
