How do you know it’s a mess if you haven’t read it? If someone has all the physical attributes, it’s very hard to overcome that with skill alone, if someone has 1 or 2 attributes, you can overcome it with other attributes, but it’s very hard if you’re outmatched for power, speed and reach.

I'm a big fan of Parker and have been since before he won a title. But no, just no, he'd be a worthy title challenger but Usyk is special and just on another level to Parker.
Parker is listed at 6'4 to Usyk's 6'3. Usyk actually had 2 inches of reach advantage. As for power, it was Uysk who staggered Joshua, so I would say at best equal. Uysk has the best workrate at heavy. Chin- Parker is the one that was staggered by Chisora, not Usyk. Uysk is the southpaw. I would love to see the fight, and Parker has earned it, but these huge advantages that you are talking about in favor of Parker do not exist.
Parker would need Usyk to decline rapidly to have a real chance. Apart from size, age and (probably) power, he has nothing on Usyk who is far more skilled. The difference in footwork alone is enormous to be honest, and that's a big problem for Parker as Usyk will keep changing the angles and throwing a variety of punches. Then there's stamina, Parker's stamina is certainly fine for a heavyweight but he can't match Usyk in that department.
Yes, the main advantage is only age, really. I do think Parker might actually be a bit more powerful and the difference e.g. on Joshua is more that Usyk landed more frequently and cleaner + Usyk had tired Joshua out. Joshua - Parker was fought at a pretty slow pace. Parker only wins if either a) he lands a really lucky punch that changes the fight, or b) if Usyk declines a lot further due to age.
True, as a fan of Parker, he's done really well recently and is currently clearly number 4 in the division but as you say Usyk, Fury and Joshua right now are a level above him until he proves otherwise by beating one of them and right now he would be a clear underdog against all 3 of them. He's separated himself from the rest of the division but even then he did lose to Joyce and Whyte, he's not head and shoulders above everyone else. But I guess this always happens when a fighter has a good win or two like Parker. Same thing happened to Joyce after he beat Parker, even as a long term fan of Joyce I never thought he'd beat the top guys but then you had people posting he could beat Fury and Joshua. Now we have posts saying Parker beats Usyk when in reality he has done nothing to suggest he could do so. I'd like to see a rematch between Joshua and Parker, I think Joshua still wins but it would be a far more competitive affair than the first fight as Parker has clearly improved.
