    I do agree that his time at the highest level is finished but he was pushed out. The ref in AJ vs Parker was widely panned and criticized for his performance that night. Anytime Parker got inside the ref stepped in a broke them up, not allowing Parker a chance to work at all. Reminded me of when Joe Cortez was paid off for the Mayweather vs Hatton debacle.

    Both were good fights.

    Hrgovic has done nothing.

    Parker cannot grant himself another chance, but he is hardly finished.

    He's still a good top ~15 guy, but getting much higher than that is probably beyond him.

    Although I really didn't like what I saw in the fight against Whyte -- I don't think Parker has the heart for boxing at the top level.

    I think Parker is far from finished. He is a worthy opponent for any HW.

    Parker did freeze against AJ and although he lost against Whyte, he had Whyte badly hurt in the end of the last round, if it was a few more seconds Parked would of stopped Whyte. I might be a little bias since I know Parker but I think he still have some good fights left, he’s very gifted and I seen some impressive things from him in the gym.

    Joe needs to keep fighting because of the money. His manager, David Higgins, absolutely rinses him. His trainer Kevin Barry also served as David Tua's manager too years ago and also rinsed him as well. And look where Tua ended up.....

    Poor Joe is not that smart either. So probably cant tell what is going on.

    Miles left to be lost in a sea of other good, but not great, boxers. Hard to get out of bed in the morning for that.

    Although I guess we all do just that.

    Parker has been finished. Parker withdraws from the ring action. Actually he would be an excellent opponent for Wilder. Two guys who badly need a win.

    Vs Whyte he was down on the scorecards, concussed by the headbutt in rd 2 and spent 30 mins being punched in the head by an 18 stone man. Despite this he showed heart dug deep and nearly got the stoppage in the 12th. Thats withdrawing from ring action
