    I'd have to disagree on the not being able to out muscle Pulev. The last 3-4 fights Parker has had, he has stepped up with the physicality immensely. Have a look back on youtube and see how often he has been able to get out of his oppositions attempts to slow him down with a grab. It's been very few, hence the pressure and quick KOs.

    Agreed, Naki.

    Ustinov will hopefully be the right step-up for Parker

    A very durable giant

    Just their size and now that you mention it they do look alike facially as well.

    Wilder is picking between Briggs and Mansour, I think Parker should take the one Wilder doesn't. Ustinov is also a great fight that can't be denied. Briggs would be fun and explosive and most likely career ending for Shannon the Cannon....

    I like Parker very much but some of your guys are day-dreaming.At this point of his career Parker is just not ready to square off against someone like Pulev.Dont get me wrong though.I dont say that he cant beat Pulev.Nah!
    Not at all.However,money is the name of this game and fullfilling the dreams of fan boys.
    Parker has never faced somone like Pulev before.The Bulgarian would mean a huge step up.
    Very high risk for Parker but little reward in terms of money.
    Besides he still has to learn one or two things before he takes on a true top 5 heavy weight,and Pulev is a top 5 heavy weight despite his loss to Wlad.His resume is still one of the best out there.
    At this stage of his career Parker would be totally nuts to take on somone like Pulev.

    Parker is the future for HW. Pulev was very solid, but I think that Wlad destroyed his psyche....My prediction : Parker, KO/TKO, late rounds....
