    Max Baer
    Max Schmeling

    Tony Galento
    King Levinski
    Primo Carnera

    Could Parker make it through this gauntlet unbeaten?

    I think Schmeling could outbox him.

    I would favour Parker over the rest.

    That being said, i expect Parker to lose at least 1. He is a very good fighter and i am a fan of his but he has had some inconsistent performance over the years so he is bound to have an off night at some point.

    Honestly, only Max beats him.

    Parker obliterates all of the above, only Schmeling could create difficulties for him, but I think Parker would obliterate him too, the gap in skills and athleticism is too big for the fighters on the list to overcome Parker.

    Athleticism? How many times has Parker fought 15 rounders?

    I'd bet a kick in the nuts that he'd whitewash them.

    Agreed. These comments are insane. Laughed out loud at the 2-4 prediction. :lol:

    They may have been smaller, but probably were better at boxing than Ngannou. And a Max Baer right hand may not bode well for Ngannou. Nor a Galento left hook.

    Disregard: wrong thread

    Placing that kind of bet on a man as inconsistent as Joseph Parker is awfully ballsy.

    You kind of have a point, I'm thinking of the form Parker has been showing in his last few fights, which has been excellent.
