John Parker (brother of Joseph/Lupesoliai)

You guys were right there in 1984 after the LA Olympics, but two guys names Shawn O'Sullivan and Willie De Witt KILLED Ontario boxing. Or I should say Simon Brown and Bert Cooper did. I think every %90 of the gyms in the province must have closed after they got embarrassed on national TV.

 

Yeah, I'm sure they have lovely ladies there, but they seem like the type of people who are always telling you what's good for you, from what I have experienced.

Hey, maybe she's still single.

 

That's funny. Good ole' Anton. Suposedly he told Jane Mansfield, when she left him that she would be dead and decapitated within a year. 364 days later she was driving along a tree-lined avenue in her pink cadillac convertible...

 

Is Parker's brother any good?

 

LMFAO!

That's awesome.

 

After some reflection I rate the 06-09 Tua similar to 99-03 Tyson. Definitely had seen better days but still a threat to all but the elite. He seemed motivated during that run and who knows? Maybe could have had a Cinderella man moment had he be given a shot at one of the beltholders during that time frame. I mean.... Brewster, Peter, White Wolf with their style give Tua a great chance... Then of course there's Briggs who I'd favor him to flatten. Tua may have an annoying click of cult fanboys who overrate him.... But anyone who considers themselves an honest boxing fan can't look at his career and the landscape of the era's he fought in and not reach the conclusion that he was unlucky to not taste gold at least once.

 

"There's no such thing as luck in boxing."

Pineapple head's career would suggest otherwise! I don't think he was ever a top 15 HW in the world h2h and yet he tasted gold not once but TWICE. Once in a fight that he clearly lost to an ancient Foreman and the other to a White Wolf who had boxed circles around him for almost the full duration but had one of the worst collapses in boxing history in the 2nd half of the 12th round.
