    NICE.

    Parker vs Usyk/Hunter/Hrgovic. Feed him a bum then put him straight in with one of those 3.

    Bring it on!

    Parker was just fed a bum recently... did you watch that fight? He doesn't gain by fighting bums.

    The majority of that list would beat Parker right now.

    Why? Why right now as well? Has Parker suffered some injury?
    1. He took AJ 12 rounds.
    2. He took Dillian 12 rounds
    3. He took Ruiz 12 rounds and beat him
    4. He took Takam 12 rounds and beat him

    ....and you think the majority of the guys listed beat Parker?
    What grade A crack cocaine are you smoking!!!!

    Yeah, confidence and a win that looks OK on paper, Molina generally meaning somewhat overrated based on giving Wilder unexpected difficulty..

    Jennings, Chisora are potentially dangerous fights, and Hunter, Kabayel, Pulev, Povetkin are undoubtedly very dangerous fights, no guarantee he gets the win.

    He stank the place out against Joshua. Showed no desire nor heart in his fight against the limited and overrated Whyte.

    He was lucky to get the decision against both Takam and Ruiz, I had them both winning by a small margin.

    It's obvious he's not going to accomplish a lot in his career. Out of your list, he should be favoured against Helenius and Fa.

    Jennings and Kabayel are 50/50 fights, while Chisora, Hunter, Kownacki, Povetkin and Pulev would beat him without too many issues.

    Parker would KO Jennings, beat Kabayel and Chisora and he would totally dominate Kownacki.

    I had parker winning
    8-4 vs Takam
    7-5 vs Ruiz

    Nah, he's probably top 5 in the world and I'd pick him to beat Whyte if they ever fought again.
    He actually gave Joshua a decent fight too.

    Going the distance doesn't mean ****, once any relevant boxer decides he wants to lose by decision it's worthless and not some bs accomplishment

    Stopping a survival mode opponent is very difficult, no extra points are given for fighters trying to last three distance not win.

    That ruins a fighter because he's already quit, easier to quit next time

    Joseph Parker = Artur Szpilka.

    I wish Hearn had matched Parker with Szpilka, in fact. Toss-up fight.

    Parker vs Usyk is the ONLY relevant flight there remains for parker. It's been proven he can't compete competitive with the top 3/4 hw, that a fact..
    And NO, lasting the distance doesn't mean a thing

    That's absolute BS.
    He got up from a vicious head clash KD early on in the fight and got up from a devastating left hook KD later on ..... and fought back hard so that he almost had Whyte out of their in the 12th round.

    Please explain how that equates to "showed no desire or heart" .....

    Parker was and always be a limited fighter with no fire in the belly.

    He is at gate keeper level now and will be used accordingly......at least he gets paid a little but a stepping stone he is from now on and he is a KO waiting to happen, he is not a natural fighter .....that chin and especially his confidence are cracked for good.
