Rebuilding Parker

Should Joe Parker maybe have a rebuilding fight vs Lucas Browne in Australia? If someone like Anthony Mundine...a fighter who would be lucky to make an undercard in the U.S.... can command a couple of million a fight for a local derby...surely Joe could make some decent money while rebuilding his confidence and getting his W back on track? Wilder is who he should face. Let Wilder KO him, like most are saying he will do and show up Joshua. Whyte can fight Breazeale Joshua can fight Povetkin. Straight forward to me.

Parker is still very young and could build on this loss. Ortiz, Povetkin, Miller, and Whyte are all quality opponents to beat on your road back to being champion.

There are some good contenders out there. Ortiz, Whyte, Breazeale and Miller come to mind. No shame in losing to AJ. He's the best fighter in the division right now. If Parker wins a couple on the rebound, maybe a crack at the winner of AJ/Wilder in late 2019/early 2020.

I think the only real mistake JP made was in strategy, not doing everything he could to get inside early in the bout and wear AJ down. Instead he tried to pot shot from outside which didn't work very well for him. He's slightly faster than AJ but not fast enough to shoot from outside and make up for the reach advantage AJ has. Chris Byrd was one of the few small heavyweights that was fast enough to get in & out and JP doesn't have that speed & footwork. IMO his only chance was to get inside (early in the fight) bang the body as much as he could before AJ wrapped him up, and keep doing it round after round to wear AJ down and come over the top with something, cause the few times he did connect it did stun Joshua. It was just too little & too late after trying to fight from outside. JP doesn't need a rebuild HE NEEDS BETTER STRATEGIES & FIGHT PLANS. Totally agree on that, I thought he had what it took to put himself into those positions, get under Joshua and throw over the top. He never committed to it though - really weird effort, the fight just coasted along without hiim trying to put a stamp on things. spent way too long outside and after a while it looked like there was no complete gameplan as you said. I'll say that Joshua did create more distance and space with his legs than I would have imagined in this matchup. Parker came up short quite a bit. ANyway, I def expected more - although the action was closer than the cards indicated, he let his title get taken too easily

He needs to work his way into a mandatory position and next time don’t let AJ buy the ref off. Parker couldn’t make it a war because the red wouldn’t let there be a war. That’s why the fight ended up being boring.

there's nothing to rebuild. nothing happened to him. he got hit with maybe 8 clean punches all night. it was a colossal stink fest. and that drops AJ's stock not Parker. he was going against corrupt judges and a criminal ref that were all assigned to protect Juicin J. that fight made me want to watch Lara to cleanse my soul. Lara's fights are action packed in comparison.

I think he’s kicking himself for not giving it his best shot. I don’t think that requires a rebuilding just a rededication.

He should be targeting Wilder straight away. He's way more skilled than Szpilka who was beating Wilder and has a great chin. I think he beats Wilder quite easily. :lol1: he has a great chin because Roidua couldn't properly land his right hand at all, Joshua was too scared to throw scared of them counters What a robbery... WOW‼️ @joeboxerparker great job Bro omg don’t apologize you did nothing wrong. True champion. @anthonyfjoshua, I ACCEPTED 100% P.S. Take AFRICA off your Arm. They’re warriors.

He needs someone smaller...im not sure he fits the super heavyweight category. Maybe the Haye Bellew winner for some more Eddie money. Im a parker fan but after watching that fight i think hes a good boxer...but not a great fighter.. Hes too nice and it shows in the ring. No real aggression and certainly no instinct to go for the kill even when he was behind.

If he wants to straight back into tough fights, I'd be up for seeing him against any of the top 10 (Joshua a-side). I'm not sure how many are free as it seems everyone's name in being thrown into the manatory hat(s) at the minute. He's a good fighter and the Joshua fight wasn't too taxing on him, so I think he's good to go again.

Go fight other contenders like Pulev or Ortiz. Even Kownacki or Breazeale will do.

If potentially will fight browne, the only issue is the devastating way he lost to whyte May mean he actually can’t come out in good credit either way. He is probably better taking someone like a stiverne or washington. Easy fights still.

honestly he needs some designer steroids that AJ is on. That is the difference in the fight. AJ is more enhanced.
