    Yes, but Parker is really 1-1 against Chisora. Good for Parker for making some adjustments and doing better, but most of us are still not all that impressed.

    Look, I admire you advocacy for your fighters, and I think Parker is going to be one of Usyk's mandatories. So let the better man win.

    Pressure fighters tend to give boxers some problems. It’s always been that way.

    Look at how much trouble Floyd had with Maidana, while Alexander had a much easier time with him.

    And don’t forget Chisora has a huge size advantage and he used every bit of that size to bully Usyk.

    And you think Parker can't do that to Usyk too?

    Parker bullied Delboy who had bullied Usyk

    Again I say - the signs are there that Parker can trouble Usyk

    If Chisora was a little bit better, he would be great, bottom line.

    Nothing convenient about it whats so ever

    Just facts really

    He improved, i acknowledged that but not to the extent some seem to think

    And whilst he improved, Del boy deteriorated

    Del "bullied" Usyk for 3 rounds then lost every round


    Yes i absolutely do not think Parker can do what he did to Del in the rematch to Usyk

    Over a handful of months though? It's hardly enough to make him shot, as he gassed just as fast against Usyk.

    Maybe a better question-

    Why was Usyk getting bullied and beat-up by Chisora for whole sections of the fight?

    Chisora has an attacking style and is going forward and for Usyk he was the first real test in the heavyweight division, Joshua boxed more carefully, he didn't attack too much because he tried to outbox Usyk and that suited Usyk....

    All fighters lose rounds. Usyk may have lost a few to Chisora but otherwise controlled the fight. He didn't struggle at all.

    Yep - Usyk worked his plan OK - no question

    But maybe AJ needs to brawl and swing too......
