    I dont think height troubles Joe too much. Its hard to see how Joe having difficulty with the shorter Ruiz, can bring you to the conclusion that he would be f@#ked if he fought someone good and tall.

    Good and tall that I personally think might be tough would be Wlad and Tyson, untill then, we'll to wait till he squares of against one of them to see if youre right.

    My point was that he sucks at inside fighting. He couldn't even handle it with Ruiz.

    He can only win with outside fighting.

    That's fine for short fighters like Takam and Ruiz.

    But Parker's too short to pull this off with any good, tall fighter.

    Well thats your guess. If you always guessed the lotto numbers then Id be more likely to seriously take on board your guess but in the end its just a guess. Well just have to wait and see wont we.

    Ruiz is a nasty inside fighter though, which HWs are better than him on the inside?

    Why do some people like making threads that have already been done to death? When this fight happened people already made threads complaining about the decision.

    Well, of course, he would lose to strong tall fighters, per instance to likes of Joshua, Wilder, Pulev, Ortiz and also he would lose to some good shorter fighters like Haye and Povetkin.For me Parker is solid top 10 boxer, I rate him at number 9 in my top 10, he is the overachiever in my eyes.

    Parker can be outmuscled but mainly by boxers from top 10.But there are some guys who would cause him trouble from outside of top 10 like Rudenko and Musafarov as well.From those who are turning pro-Dychko, Hrgovic, Yoka all would beat Parker. Muratsayev would beat him as well because he looks like someone who would force Parker to fight on the backfoot and would probably rough him up bad in the process.

    I was thinkin houmzz wasnt around the forum when the threads on Ruiz/Parker were up. However I do recall seeing his posts around that time.

    I think its because some people are still cut up about the loss. They cant move on. They've discussed it so many times but werent happy with the majority of the communications not aligning with their views. I feel pity for houmzz as hes obviously not been able to get over it.

    I'm over it, I just wanted to see how many people see it as fair shake and how many see it as a home cooking.
