Bro. Parker went life and death with ruiz. I thought he lost to fury.......at that level theres no way he is highly regarded even before joshua. Parker is. And will always be a takem ruiz type of class fighter.......he was severely overrated by the UK nothing much more. A fight with ortiz? U gotta be shtting me loooooool
When I watch ortiz performance against dave Allen not too long ago and considering he's coming off a knock out loss to the only top 10 fighter he's faced in years I dont know why it sounds so crazy to you or why you regard ortiz so highly. Wilder fans tell me he's some amazing super monster but then I look at his resume and look at his performances. It doesn't really add up.
Highly rated until Joshua/Whyte beat him? How exactly did he receive that highly rated status? Was it his impressive performances against Ruiz/Fury/Cojanu? Oh wait, those performances were anything but impressive. Parker is a solid top 10 HW, probably closer to the 6-8 range, but he is not elite by any means. Ortiz is just flat out better than him. Parker has no performance as impressive as Jennings or Thompson or even Wilder.
This....
Good post as usual.
I think Parker by decision , mainly because I don’t think Parker’s will ko Ortiz and I have yet to see Ortiz beat anyone decent to prove to me he is good enough
I posted this nearly 18 months ago. Nothing has changed my view of this at all.
Great fight for Parker to prove he's still in the game.
C'mon bro... you're 27 years old... you got a 13 year age advantage.
No more Alex Leapais and Hughie Furys, man up and take the King Kong Challenge.
Ortiz would win a boring 12 round decision. Because after getting dropped for the first time in his career, Parker would not engage and make Ortiz Chase him around the ring. Parker would make it boring. So 12 round UD for Ortiz.
I like Ortiz here. I think he's just too skilled, smart and powerful for Parker.
I think about the only chance for Parker, is if the fight lasted at least until the 10th round, and Ortiz's stamina fell apart.
i dont know, everyone saying ortiz destroys him etc have nothing to base it on really. Ortiz one half decent win came a few years back and noone really has any idea what level hes at. And to me hes slowed down considerably since 2015. All i know is parker was highly rated until joshua and whyte beat him and now hes been demoted to 'fraud' status.
Wrong....most people knew Parker as a prospect who happened to hold a belt-nothing more than that....and that was far before his losses.
Parker and quite easily. Ortiz has nothing that impresses me and is ancient. He has a hoard of Wilder fans that big him up though so will no doubt win this poll.
