Parker VS Chisora scrapped

Yep, way to fast of hand and foot, bad beating and a tko finish !

 

Nope, Parkers to good at this stage, Chisora really needs someone looking out for him as he is as slow as **** and this is where he could take long term damage..Get him someone ready to hang their gloves up, he don't belong in a ring with Whyte Parker etc, more Browne level !

 

Although you are correct in the sense that Chisora getting knocked out wouldn't be expected, you've gone to the other extreme. How is it more likely that Parker gets knocked out, seeing that he has never been knocked out at all?

 

But what would be the point of that? And what money would be in?

It would be a pointless fight he might as well retire now!

He had a great camp with Haye and came in looking tremendous... he needs to keep this momentum and use it while he still has it. The clock is running out fast, take the risk or retire.

 

Not extreme at all, Chisora put Takam down on the canvas. AJ with all his power couldn't achieve that, but Chisora did? Wasn't a lucky punch either.

Takam is a tought SOB, hardly ever been put down until Povetkin.

If Derek can put Takam down, there is more chance he can put Parker down than Parker putting Chisora down.

 

That's a really convoluted argument. The facts speak for themselves:

Parker:
been KO'ed zero times
has 19/25 KOs = 76%
been down in only one fight
didn't get KO'ed by Whyte
young and still relatively fresh
beat someone who KO'ed Chisora

Chisoa
KO'ed three times
21/29 KOs = 72%
been down many times in many fights
got knocked out by Whyte
old and past his best
never beat anyone who beat Parker

Of course Chisora in theory does have the power but it goes both ways and at this point of their careers Parker would be clearly favoured.

 

Clearly favoed by who exactly? It's a 50/50 in my imo, I said Chisora had a higher chance to KO parker than vice versa, it is really a simple argument based on who has KO'd who as of late.

Takam has a tough chin as I proved with his performance against AJ (undeniably one of the most devastating punchers), and Chisora put him down TWICE.

Parker never KOd Takam, or anyone else of note.

When was Chisora down many times? He got KOd twice actually - once by David Haye and another time by Dillian Whyte.

Yes Parker has a good chin, Takam has a good chin too... even if it's not as good.

The fight is off anyways so I don't really care, but stop deluding yourself in thinking Parker is that much higher than Chisora in a fight.

Chisora has just as much chance as beating him, no problem.

 

Parker is streets ahead of Joyce IMO.

Would be one I'd like to see though. Parker needs a scalp on his resume badly.

 

Chisora is a tough nut to crack no doubt about that.

Styles make fights though and see Parker having a far easier time with Del Boy than he did with Whyte though due to the difference in power.

 

It's a shame we won't be seeing this. I thought it might have been a good scrap.

Parker needs to make some smart decisions if he's going to stay relevant in an increasingly interesting division. Hope it's not too long before he is boxing at a high level.

 

Its a winnable fight

Well he don't warrant big money does he, hes past it, shop worn and half way out the door,hes had his paydays !

This is the option left for him and every other fighter at this stage

 

I understand that but again I ask, why? Why does he need a random win when he has very few fights left in him where he can be competitive.

He doesn't have time to string together small wins, he needs to take risk fights now if he wants to be back in contention and not lose the takam momentum/ Whyte training camp.

This was a good oppurnuity for, the best he was going to get to have a chance at getting back in the mix or even retiring on a high.

A few extra crappy wins to his record, what for man.

That's true, but out of all the ones he would have had left, this would have been of the higher ones left.

He worked too hard, and too smart for Whyte rematch to quit now. He needs to reuse that added fitness and strenght to beat another contender, not waste it on a weaker opponent.

Parker can do that because he has time on his side, Chisora does not.

 

I just think hes past that point and felt Whyte was playing him in the rematch..I think he could've got him out sooner and if he rematched Takam I would expect Takam to make it even with a ko late.

 

The odds would be something like Parker a 1/3 favourite.

You're entitled to your opinion but the majority would consider Parker a clear favourite over an old Chisora who got brutally KO'ed in his last fight.

Until the Takam KO Chisora hadn't knocked out anyone of note either; Scott? Gerber? Sexton? None of those are clearly better than Dimitrenko. And who had Whyte KO'ed apart from Chisora? Browne?

Parker really hurt Whyte in that 12th round so in theory he certainly can knock out Chisora and this would have been a good time to catch Chisora too.
