    Parker is a very live dog in this. Wilder is not much more than a can crusher and Joe ain’t no can.

    Wilder is absolutely suspect and I don’t believe Fury has any more power than Joe. Joe can get at Wilder and make him wobble.

    The odds makers are heavily against Parker. Giving him a better chance than the bookies

    Maybe I see this wrong but I belive Parker got quiet good chance here and He not only go for money here.
    As I said before there as few point which in my opinion make this fight pretty sensible.
    1. Wilder was in official fight in the ring not even 3 full minutes in 2 years and when he was there he fight with Perfect match up for him (slow, big and bad chin dude who he knows from sparring many times).
    2. Wilder is after 2 hard beating and to this day (xD) we have no idea how many health he lost there. His inactive can be because of that.
    3. Parker punching power and chin are pretty good. There is possibility he had the best mix of that from all Wilder opponents.
    4. Parker is moving forward, good hand speed and can pretty nice counter puncher.
    5. Wilder is 38 years old now. We all know You can be in good shape then but when You cross 36 line Your organism dont become better. He is near 40 now soo there is possibility that he is little worse. Off course I understand that he got in theory perfect style to slow down getting older but still
    6. Parker train with dude who destroy Wilder twice and 1 he beat him on points. That's can help even mentally.

    Off course we all see what happend when he faced Joyce but Joe is different fighter. Joe coming forward, presure all time and he got chin to take best shots and answer himself. Wilder is more like sniper. I think Wilder fight would not go so damage way for Parker.

    Parker should not wait for later rounds imo. History show that Wilder is dangerous to 12 rounds and often he find his right hand when You tired from danicng around and win rounds.
    Parker should attack strong from 1 ring bells not leaving Wilder time and space. Always must be carefull when it go to long distance because that's the moment when Wilder throw his right.
    Soo all moments after refery separates this two, or begining of new rounds is moment when Parker need to be worried the most.

    Off course Wilder is favorite here but Parker is imo best of his opponent from time he fought Fury. Last time he fought someone near class to Parker was first Ortiz fight long time ago.

    Looking for this one and its very interesting for me. Not easy fight for both.

    Parker is getting flattened. Just doesn't have enough, doesn't hit that hard.

    :lol:I love how you’re consistently confident and straightforward with all of your predictions. I agree though, Parker is gonna be tasting the floor against Wilder. I don’t know why everyone is bringing up Wilder’s age, the guy has only ever relied on his height, reach and illegal power. Last time I checked those attributes don’t ever leave a fighter.

    Parker is a good man.

    But he's only a competent heavyweight. I wish Parker absolutely no harm but what is best for boxing is if Wilder beats him conclusively.

    Why is Wilder winning good for boxing? He held the WBC belt hostage for years fighting cans and refused to unify. He STILL hasn't fought AJ, and he's inactive.

    He's a bigger puncher, a bigger draw, has a firm identity, and could be in some enormous fights.

    Parker is utterly bland in every way that matters.

    Fury is just a way better boxer than Parker and that matters more than power. He also flattened Whyte and Parker didn't.

    1. Sure, he can punch hard.
    2. A big draw? He fights exclusively at home and never did that well numbers wise until Fury showed up.
    3. He "could" but consistently hasn't.

    Parker at least fights anyone put in front of him instead of cowering at home to protect a carefully manufactured zero.

    People really like that.

    Yeah, he'd do better numbers with almost anyone after beating Parker than Parker could after beating him.
    It doesn't matter. Parker hasn't beaten a ranked opponent (TBRB/RING) in years. Almost a decade. He's a gatekeeper. Him getting splattered by every ranked guy he meets is less interesting than what Wilder might do.

    Parker is an also-ran who loses to everyone he is meant to lose to.

    Off course he is better boxer. That's why he KO Whyte- because he see that Whyte is vide open to uppercut. And Dillian was after horrible KO from Povetkin.

    Still it doesnt work like that. Its not so simple. If it work like that You must think that Povetkin punch harder than Wilder.

    I belive that Parker got more dynamic in punch and in single shoot he can deliver more power than Fury. Off course Tyson when find perfect angle can punch pretty good to but still I would choose Parker.

    Parker in closer distance got quicker combinationts too.

    You dont see Wilder fight with many harder puncher than Joseph. Molina wobbled him a little, Ortiz wobbled him hard. Fury who never was 1 punch KO artist masacre him.
    You have no idea how he will react after Parker punching power. Can be interesting.

    Can you name me one fighter on Wilder's list who Parker can't beat?
