You're absolutely right about Parker's aggression and he also has a problem with not following the game plan which must have been frustrating for Barry. A new trainer isn't going to make a blind bit of difference if Parker continues to ignore their strategy once the bell rings.
          Well said my man, couldn't have put it better myself. Rumours are he's going with Andy Lee. Is that Andy Lee the former British MW? Seems like an odd match-up at first glance. I was thinking Parker would go with McGuigan, though that's incompatible with Parker's wish to remain in NZ.

          Besides Barry, Are there any great trainers cut from the old cloth in the land of the long white cloud?

Hugging with Junior Fa most of the fight will not help his drawing power. Even though he is only about 30 he just fights like a 40 year old fighter that is not desperate to win.
            The thing was the rematch clause Ruiz had a flat rate of 12 million in the contract. He played a little hard ball & the pot got sweetened. He had to pay Parker more to get him over to england for unification. He made $18 million. Hell they gave Charles Martin 8 or 9 million to hand his IBF belt to Joshua. Parker/AJ was 2 undefeated fights in a title unification bout. With no rematch clause.
