    Parker gets Brezeale'd by Wilder imo

    I've thought about that often. Never came to a conclusion in my own head.

    Idk... I doubt even Wilder could crack that chin he's yet to be hurt.

    Parker has a better chin, better defense, and better boxing IQ than Breazeale.

    Parker has a better chin, better defense, and better boxing IQ than Wilder, too.

    It's not a foregone conclusion who wins that fight. Doubt we'll ever get to see it.

    Look, I also rate Joyce very highly, but something is not adding up here. When I asked you why you think Whyte would beat Wilder, your main argument was that Whyte has beaten better opponents if I remember correctly.

    Joyce's best win is Jennings, who gave him a hard fight. Ortiz' best win is also Jennings (beat him rather easily).

    So Wilder's best win's best win is Jennings who is also Joyce's best win. So how can you say Joyce is levels above Wilder? Genuine question cause I thought resume was your main argument for one boxer being better than the other.

    Not just Whyte having superior resume. Whyte also being for more well rounded fighter. Whyte would out jab Wilder( whyte has the better jab), physically bully Wilder on inside easily, Wilder can't deal stomach shots (as seen by half glazing shot from Fury that dropped) and Whyte is one best in divison at working the body. Also Wilder has ducked power punchers his whole career and Whyte certainly carries KO power.

    Joyce best win is Takam based on padt peformances in the ring (robbed a win over Perez who was robbed a draw against Jennings due a controversial point deduction). However talent wise is Dubois despite not having a better record than Jenning I'm confident by the time he retires Dubois would have a much better record than either Takam or Jennings.

    I don't agree about Wilder-Whyte. Whyte is better skill-wise for sure, but Wilder has a significant edge in speed, explosiveness, reach, power etc. His straight shots are better than Whyte's too. If we compare their performances against Fury, Wilder also seems to be a lot more durable than Whyte. The second knockdown in Fury 2 was because he tripped. Just before Fury lands the bodyshot he puts his right foot behind Wilder's left foot as Wilder is walking backwards. Now of course Whyte could KO Wilder, but I don't like his odds of landing a big shot before Wilder does. And after seeing him get one punch KO'd by Fury, I have a hard time picking him against power punchers.

    I scored Joyce-Jennings a draw if I remember correctly, have to watch it again but Jennings gave him a really hard time, that's a big reason why I rate him as Joyce's best opponent. I also think he beat Perez wider than the scorecards indicated, but then again I also think Takam beat Perez. Both don't really have a signature win. Agree about Dubois though, I think he'll do really well in the future.

    I don't see an argument for putting Joyce above Wilder. Could change in the future though, let's see.

    Wallin's performance against Fury (who recently KO'd Whyte with one shot after taking no power punches to the head for 6 rounds, in case you've forgotten) is better than anything Parker has done, or will do, in his career.

    What would you say if Wallin beat Parker?

    What were your "reasons" for favouring Whyte to beat Fury again? I need a good laugh.

    Everyone makes wrong calls. I lost £ 100 on that. Also lost a tenner on each Spence vs Garcia and Porter ( although I thought Porter was the deserved winner).

    You said Wilder would beat Fury in every fight for example.

    I made the money back and from Whyte fight by betting on Bivol and Bakole. Also got bets right with Joyce vs Dubois and Groves vs Eubank.

    How is losing a fight better than winning a world title?
