    Parker gets a lot of hate even though he has fought Joshua, Whyte, Ruiz, Hughie, Takam and Chisora. All those brits in their backyard.

    At the same time Fat Andy gets lots of loving even though he has fought two good opponents in his 12-year career (lost to both), has taken no risky fights ever, doesn't take the sport seriously and just looked unimpressive against shot old Cristobal.

    Boxing fans are funny. If someone doesn't worship their guy, they call these ppl as haters.
    Cool that there is mentioned exactly Takam.
    Parker was not able stop Takam in 2016 and won via decision. While Povetkin in 2014, being then with good legs had stopped Takam in distance.
    Chisora too is good indicator: Haye who usually was 217-219 lbs had stopped Chisora, Parker won him on decision.
    I assumed that because Parker is 241 lbs, also younger than Usyk, will perform on Chisora better than Usyk.
    Parker should improve, he still is young.
