    Awesome fight but unfortunately we lost.

    Whyte deserves it

    I believe I have a 20 inch dick yet it changes little about what God has given me (it's 17 inches). Parker is either sloppy and gets tagged silly or shells up, hardly top material, nor will it ever change. It's just a crap playing field.

    You guys are mesmerised by flashy snippets, the guy has fast hands good jab but when has this guy ever used it for 12. He is an average fighter.

    Hes been average vs Fury, Ruiz, and Joshua.. Actually hasn’t looked good in a while.. I just can’t believe AJ fought him as conservative as he did honestly..

    He's talented, he's very fast and explosive but you can be the best athlete in the world if you don't get taught the skills and hone the tools necessary to compete at this level then you'll always waste your talent.

    Whyte was begging to be hit by a right hand counter so many times, but Parker's never been taught to counter punch, to punish guys for missing or leaving openings. Parker for all his natural ability has very basic boxing skills, if he ever gets a good trainer, he'll have his mind blown by how much he hasn't been taught.

    This. Parker has a good chin and decent handspeed, but not much else. All of his top wins could've easily went the other way such as his fights against both Ruiz and Fury. His lack of power, poor footwork, and poor timing caught up with him.

    Parker looked exhausted after round 3, arms by his side, mouth hanging open in survival mode. Strange performance.

    Takam as well. They jumped him up very early, the financial rewards were probably worth it but his career is in tatters now.

    Does Parker know about ducking and countering? Does parker know about not only moving straight back to evade punches? Does parker know about feints? Does parker know about combination punching involving more than 2 punches? What are they teaching him? Or, what does he think boxing is?

    Parker has the habit of 1, 2 oh nothing oh well, reset. rinse repeat.

    There was so many times Whyte was wide open to be hit, even leaning over from fatigue and Parker would throw one or 2 punches and let him off the hook.

    He had free punches, all night and he didn't take capitalize on the gifts being offered.

    He's great at feinting and throwing jabs, but really he doesn't know how to throw more than 2 punches and move back to evade punches.

    Wasn't taught how to rough up his opponent either.

    Needs a new coach, because Kevin Barry seems to be more concerned with making sure his comb over is nicely in place then giving Joe instrumental advice when in the heat of battle and doesn't seem to know how to condition him correctly.

    It’s hard to know ... just because someone doesn’t do something in the ring doesn’t mean trainers haven’t tried repeatedly to get them to do it. Coaching is not the same as puppetry ... the pupil has to want to learn and try to do it in combat conditions rather than revert to what they’re comfortable with.

    Maybe no one has ever tried to show him anything. Maybe he just isn’t coachable.

    the guy has no gamble in him, hes happy with the grind, which to be fair, has made him a millionaire even without any tenacity.
