Parker is as basic as it gets, and not basic in a positive way.. he just is a regular pro fighter; the fact that this guy is a ranked contedner for so long with wins and with belts (did he ever win a belt ?) should tell you the poor state boxing is at..
Not sure why Parker’s getting S—t on it’s a near 260lbs guy with a helluva chin, good hard swats and of recently an energetic disposition he’s the 2nd-3rd best HW in the world right now and it’s not a bad place to be IMO when you look at the ranks… what would Frazier be today at HW? As he was I doubt he’d make it to the top of the pile without a lot of hiccups, no offence I love Frazier but he’ severely physically outgunned in this fight like he has never been before - I’m not sure how Frazier would do tbh.

Terrell was a pretty good boxer.. Ringo was awkard, which is very different than not being skilled... he could find the other guy in weird ways but he did the job very well..
Dude Bakole was on 2 days notice against Parker and literally got schooled by a someone he had 40+ pounds on
What do you think Frazier would be ranked if he was fighting to try and clean the division out in the recent eras? pretty sure he'd be about 20-7 and fizzled out... agreed on Bakole but it is an awesome one punch KO of a 300lbs guy.
The reality is everytime we witness the heavyweight division get exposed to a few top 10 cruisers over half the time the smaller guys end up in the top 10 heavyweights and beat credible heavyweights or give them all they can handle, so statistically the heavyweight division would be filled up with former cruiserweights if they all just moved up. We can never know, but Frazier is much better than Kevin Lerena who almost had Dubois out of there.
We used to have a lot more trolls back in the day, and not so obvious. This ham-fisted approach isn’t as much fun.
