    Good win for Parker beating an old shell of a man that had absolutely no tools on Saturday night.

    Parker took away Wilder's tools

    Mainly by punishing him very hard whenever Wilder dared to attack

    And also by smashing him all night with looping lead rights

    Parker will just wait for the new rankings to come out from the sanctioning bodies and take it from there. Parker v Zhang Parker v Joshua Parker v Ruiz Parker v Dubois,there is a potential list of good fights available for Parker however Joshua will go the back door route to the IBF belt looking to fight Hrgovic so I doubt that fights available for Parker at the moment .

    Parker vs Joyce then Parker vs Zhang if Parker wins makes sense.

    Does Parker even beat Joyce in a rematch? We need this question answered now before him facing any further elite guys.

    Good win for Parker and the second best opponent Parker has beaten after Ruiz.

    Wilder is the most overrated and protected HW champ of all timw. I don't believe Wilder is a shell of himself, he was the same Wilder as ever (eg being out boxed by the like Spzilka and Washington in numerous rounds years ago). The difference was Parker is is a legit proven World level boxer, and Wilder has never beaten a proven legit world level boxer.

    Styles make fights.

    I think Joyce would beat Parker again comfortably in a rematch.

    That said I believe Parker is all wrong Zhang and Parker stops Zhang in the middle to late rounds.

    Interesting. I'd favour Zhang personally, and as you said, Joyce as well. Zhang does make for an interesting fight stylistically though. He's a clever southpaw who sets traps well and would give Parker a lot more to think about than what Wilder did, but then again, Parker fighting small and making himself a constant moving target could cause trouble for Zhang who's feet aren't the quickest, so yeah, a really interesting fight should it happen.

    We've seen that Parker can follow a game plan so who is to say he couldn't do so again in a rematch with Joyce. The question is, what is the game plan for beating Joyce.

    Agreed, Parker doesn't have punching power so suits Joyce because he'll just stand there and punish Parker.

    On the other hand Zhang has got power so that matchup for Joyce was a horrible one.
