    If Parker can stay on form I see very few fighters he can't beat.

    I totally agree with you, Kiwi

    This is a renewed Parker and he is more FOCUSED-AGGRESSIVE than ever

    Wilder felt that from Rnd one.

    I like your videos, Rummy. Always great content.

    Hardly anyone gave Parker a chance

    But a few of us who follow his career more closely could see an upset was very possible

    I think Parker has truly turned a corner

    Isnt the 1st time....and wont be the last where the majority called it wrong. Parker beating Wilder is generally being referred to as an upset victory....favourites dont always win! Lets see what Parker does in 2024. I aint going to get carried away with what he can achieve on the back of one win. Its been said many a time that this is a fairly weak era....so i suppose anything is possible

    Zhang is highly likely to be Parker's next opponent, in my view.

    Or Ruiz. Or Whyte.

    First of all well done & props on predicting this one, I did not have faith in Parker to do the job he did!!

    Zhang would be a fun fight and good money, even though Zhang beat Joyce and Joyce beat Parker I reckon it's winnable for Parker, he isn't so open as Joyce and won't be a sitting duck for Zhang early, and will of course have the edge if it goes late.

    There's unfinished business with Whyte and Parker should win a rematch, but it does seem like not the best risk reward ratio at this point. Even more so Ruiz to be honest, he brings very little upside to Parker but the upset would kill momentum completely.

    I'd prefer to see the AJ rematch, even though I couldn't pick Parker there, or a Hrgovic fight for the IBF title. There aren't that many big fight options, I think he won't fight Fury (friends), and Usyk (unless age gets to him) is all wrong stylistically.

    I like Parker - Zhang too

    But what about Ngannou?

    Ngannou is an old man and has a boxing record of 0-1!! Imo he only fought Fury for the crazy money thrown at him (cant blame him). I dont think fighting Parker would be as lucrative.

    i should say him and zhang probs best option to go for him... aj rematch is pointless if no world title on line.. hrgovic would be good also

    At least you're man enough to come back on here and admit you got it completely wrong ( as I did ) there are plenty on here who ain't been seen since , one guy who'll remain nameless had it 6-5 to Wilder going into the 12th .
    :lol:

    Very true, Josey.

    Few have come back on here and owned up. Some are still sniping at Parker as though he didn't just pull off the upset of the year.
