Joseph Parker what next ?

Probably needs a new trainer to refresh his ideas and fight strategies.

 

I can see Parker fighting Usyk next, it’s starting to look increasingly likely, at least to me. Usyk has recently stated that he wants to fight decent fighters from the off as he makes his step up to heavyweight, and credit to Usyk, he is a fighter whom has proven that he clearly fears no one. Parker is of course very different to Usyk in style, but one thing they have both shown that they share over the years is a granite chin. So I would say that if this fight happens, Usyk will win on a fairly comfortable points decision. I like Parker though, he seems a very likeable character (as does Usyk).

 

I hate to disappoint you but that fight won't be happening anytime soon. Both camps are looking elsewhere from what I've heard.

 

Yeah don't know where this Parker is a star in the UK is coming from, and why the hell would Lucas Browne be big hahaha? Did his win ovr Richard Towers win over the UK public lol

 

I think I could smash parker tbh

 

It's a shame but Parker has had his 15 minutes
Will never win a world title again

 

He is only 26 and still growing into his full man-strength

I think Parker at 30 could be a beast

 

With a better mindset he would have beaten Whyte I think so I definitely don’t think he is done yet. He’s got a lot of rebuilding to do, with his boxing and mentally aswell but he can definitely do it. With a few good wins under his belt I would fancy him against Whyte in a rematch and he has more time on his side so if he really wants then it’s all there for him....

 

But who will fight him?
He is a needless risk for most top heavies now
He brings nothing to the table unless its a fight in his home country
Also personally I don't rate his skill set that much
Above average fighter who done well and won a world title

 

I'm quite interested to see how an in shape Allen goes, but while I don't think Browne is an elite fighter - he has operated with success at a higher level than Allen. Allen has "lost well" a few times, mainly by absorbing punishment than actually boxing well.

Browne learned some stuff from his appalling outing against Dillian Whyte, as much as I like Allen and would way prefer (ignoring the big picture) him to win I WILL be surprised if he manages to get a win in this one. Overall a Browne win, and then a Parker vs Browne fight feels like it'd be a nice little bit of rejuvenation for Parker's career.

 

Yes, from Parker's point of a view a Browne win suits him. I just wonder if Browne's still got it, he looked so old and slow against Whyte. The bookmakers have Browne a slight favourite for what it's worth, 8/13 to 6/5 or 6/4

 

Browne may win it - but Parker needs a fight in the meantime....

 

Some one must know them over there, Fast Eddie is using them for his heavyweight PPV versions of the WWE and is getting quite a stable to use against each other to make fights the public will want to see..

If there was no demand Eddie wouldn't be signing them. Who doesn't want to see guys like Allen, Price, Browne et al teeing off on each other...

 

Very true Ica

 

I've wanted to see that fight for some time now. We've always known that Wilder can be outboxed and Ortiz and Fury has shown how. I think Parker has the skill set to cause an upset. Even if Parker loses, it's a test he's got to take. Maybe not next but I would have no qualms with it being made for later on this year.
