    The HW roster won't "decline"

    What they'll do is age out and retire

    I hope Parker gets to face Usyk before that happens

    Wooooh!

    I want him to get a shot, but no one "deserves to be champion."

    He definitely can be a hall of fame level guy regardless of how you silce it. The wins over Ruiz, Wilder, and Zhang would be a great springboard should he get another title reign.

    He confidently beat up guys and deserve to be a champion. A lot less guys became champions by just sending them a mail. So What's wrong if Parker is the champion when he beat legit guys ?

    The Parker glazing is getting insane. It's like they forget he got knocked out BAD by the slowest heavyweight in recent memory.

    I don’t think Parker has much time left at the top of the division. He’s taken a lot of damage in his career including his last fight.

    Nah....

    Parker only ever took one real beating - which was the Joyce fight

    He changed everything after that fight. Now it is upwards and onwards

    Parker is part of this era. Wilder and Whyte were part of the previous era.

    I don’t understand it either, he didn’t beat Ali and Foreman.

    Referee had as much to do with AJs win over Parker as AJ himself!

    Parker was over-awed by the occasion, I believe

    And only half the fighter he is today

    Don't buy that either. Yes, ref was a bit hands-on, but it wasn't exactly Wlad-Povetkin, and AJ controlled the fight quite soundly. Parker didn't do enough.

    He's could be part of both, depending on what he does in the coming years. He's already established himself as a force in the current era; it remains to be seen what he does in the next.
