For 2-3 years nobody wanted anything to do with Ortiz. I never said Stiverne was a world beater demolishing monster. Parker has had a legit career. But I wouldn't say he's made his career "derailing undefeated prospects". That's not accurate for a couple of reasons. Yeah, he beat Ruiz Jr - but you can't say that he "derailed" Andy's career. Obviously, Ruiz Jr. bounced back and beat A.J. If anything derailed Andy's career - it's his overall lack of fitness and commitment. The only other undefeated prospect he's beaten that I can name is Junior Fa. Let's be honest - Junior Fa was never a serious prospect and it did Parker's reputation no good at all that that fight went the distance and that it was as close as it was.
Parker and Fury are the most dangerous boxers Wilder has faced in a very long time. I don't think it pays to presume he can drop Parker - who is only 31 and has an excellent chin
Except for that little thing where he was a middle money man for an international cocaine and meth ring.
This is true people forget too easy about the situation at the time the fight was made. That context matters.
J-Park said to himself this is a no brainer Wait, what? You mean you're going to pay me the most amount of money to fight the weakest opponent out of the three? The can-crusher who can't box and who fought 40 binmen? Er.. let me think about that for a millisecond Thought about it.. where do I sign?
It’s nice to think that Parker can use his skills to make the fight go his way. But when he was fighting Junior Fa for example things were going his way. But Junior Fa who is about the same size as Wilder still landed plenty of punches from range. But Fa doesnt have big power. If Fa was landing like that Wilder will too. Even 80% Wilder. Because Wilder and Fa are different leagues.
Agreed, Pook Parker will have to do a lot better than that performance But Wilder has neither fought nor beaten hardly any top boxers himself.
Literally the same feeling. Every time i pick Parker to win, he just disappoint and doesn't give enough to win the fight. The skills and attributes are all there, but i think mentally he is not on the level he needs to be. He needs to be more aggressive and forget the nice guy. Go there and do everything for the win, stop being the nice guy. That's why i pick Wilder for this one, cause literally every time i think Parker will shows his true level and skills, he has been disappointed me. So let's hope my prediction will be wrong again.
