Joseph Parker vs Junior Fa is set for December 11th

Parker gotta start his comeback somewhere......

 

mediocre division so winners is likely only 1-2 fights from title shot

 

I'd say he's averagish size these days, maybe 6'3.5". Although too heavy is Ruiz more than 6'1"? But look what he did when AJ got a bit careless. Old man Pov - at best 6'2" - KTFO out of an early 30s Whyte, considered top 5 by many here.

In the so called "golden" 70s Parker would be a big HW and could beat just about any of that era's HWs.

 

It’s as relevant as Joyce vs DD I think.

 

Yep - good comparison, Pip

 

Joyce v Dubois is a better fight tbh. A fight that is genuinely 50/50 where the winner will really put himself in a great position to push on to a World Title shot.

Parker v Fa is a tune up for Parker where he doesn't gain a lot if he wins but his reputation is badly damaged if he loses. Fa is in a good position where he has nothing to lose but massive rewards if he can get up. It's about 98/2 in Parker's favour percentage wise.

 

Hey look, I hope so. I'd be stoked if Fa could do somehting special and it would be great for boxing down here if he could, but if his previous 19 fights are anything to go by, then I'm afraid I can't see him producing anything.

 

Well the guy is a unit, not a ballerina

He has good balance and looks the part, a lot of guys his size look very awkward.
He looks a lot less robotic then Juicy J and not as awkward as Fury or Wilder. Fa is as big as those guys too.
He throws hands at a good clip. I think he doesn't know he is actually a scary big mofo that could actually use his size to his advantage.

I think he could do with a good motivater trainer. Someone that could make him feel like a world beater
He also needs to get better conditioned, but even at tip top shape he would still be 245+ lbs, the guy is just big.
He seems like a part time boxer that doesn't give it his all. I know he was out of the sport for a few years between Am's and Pro.

 

Fa's health is the big factor here.

Always has been during his whole pro career.

 

If Fa is truly fit and healthy

Look for a worthwhile clash
