Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin's Promoter Will Explore Fight With Joseph Parker

[Deleted]

Parker hasn't looked like a live opponent in several years. I don't know why anyone still thinks he's good. He barely beat bums like Chisora, Junior Fa, and the ghost of Alex Leapai.

I don't disagree. Says lots about Chisora's next fight/opponent, but its boxing..

Parker changed as a fighter when he got in with Takam and has never looked the same since and his hunger all but dissipated after the AJ fight I'm not sure he should even continue to fight TBH...

Boxing is his job and he's 30 years old.

Of course he doesn't need to retire.

But there's no point in him continuing if he's not going bother getting fit enough to fight more than 1 round. He's got all the potential in the world, but his heart isn't in it, as we saw against Joyce. The scales told the story when he turned up career fattest.

That would be a good fight, but if Wallin can`t get Joshua on Parker, than he should fight somebody like Bakole.

Parker vs Joyce, was one of Joseph Parker's best performances in his career.

Top-3 best performances, I don't think he should retire.

Nobody knows for sure, how long other Heavyweights would of lasted against Joyce that night.

Parker fought very hard until the stoppage etc.

Joyce also took a beating, this is something people are overlooking. It was not a easy fight for Joyce.

The man is about 30 and he makes millions fighting. Sure he shouldn`t drop this job lol.

The problem is that JP is a 10 million dollar B-side and smaller promotional outfits arent going to be able to afford his services. He cant really fight Fury. Usyk will never happen. I wouldnt be overly surprised if he got an AJ rematch although its unlikely. Bakole wont pay enough. A local match against Sonny Bill in Australia has gone out the window. Whats left?

He's a name for anyone on the way up. Beating a former world champion gives credibility - just look at Joyce.

People will pay him big money if they think he can beat him. And the reality is that he's still a very good test for anyone in the lower half of the top 10.

How many sports would talk about retirement if a guy was in the top 10 of the sport?

If he can't fight for 10 million then he might get 2 million, or 1 million. Would you retire if someone was offering you a million dollars? No chance!
