Yeah this is a much better fight than calling out AJ, and a convincing win would have Parker as "more proven"/ up in stocks against AJ imho as well. Hammer is a known proven quantity, he's not a nobody but obviously no contender either.
Good fight for Parker. Hopefully he'll get someone like Takam, Pulev, Jennings next. Or before the year ends.
I expected Hammer to fight Joshua next ... Good fight for Parker, Hammer is durable, is not a world class fighter, but should give Parker a tough test.
Decent fighter for someone on the way up. Fury schooled him but that more to do with the size difference than it being a real master class performance. He decent nowhere near elite level but much better than some of Parkers previous opponents
