Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker vs. Faiga Opelu on May 24 in Melbourne: Nikita Tszyu in Co-Feature

[_Rexy_]

A stay busy fight that Parker should win. He sometimes fights to his level of opponent so it could end up going the distance. Regardless adding the Commonwealth strap to his resume isn’t a bad thing but it is a step backwards from his career achievements. He needs a win after the Joyce loss…

At this point, these are just the opponents for Parker.

What a shame Parker is fighting bums only since Joyce loss. I would love to see him fighting Hunter, Bakole, if he doesn`t want to fight top guys. Obviuosly he doesn`t want to take risks no more. he is done.

Just retire already. Parker has been horrible for years and years and I'm sick of people acting like he matters. That fight with Junior Fa should've told everyone that he was absolutely done.

Stop being such a whiny cry baby and just don't watch the fight. Why do you care whether he continues to box or not? Regardless of whether he's world level or not, maybe he loves the sport. You need to pick your battles and complain about things that actually matter. There are pro boxers who are way more shot than Parker who still fight. Should they all retire because some random internet poster thinks they are trash?

look forward to seeing tszyu in the ring again

Parker would smash Joshua and Whyte in a rematch but they're too chicken**** to face him again.

I'd be keen to see Parker v either if them with the loser retiring.

There are many good opponents not named Whyte and Joshua around.

Why didn`t he fight Hrgovic for IBF eliminator? Why didn`t he stay by Boxxer and tight Bakole?

Seems to me Parker is just looking for easy touches while waiting on his probably the last pay day.

Chisora fights probably took a lot from him.

Parker isn't "smashing" anybody. He couldn't even knock out Junior Fa, who got stopped in one round by Lucas Browne, who himself was coming off a KO loss to a rugby player.

Fury is advising him so don’t expect much from here on in , Fury will just build his record up using these types of guys so he can give him a title shot next year . Lol

Nah bro...he'd smash AJ and Dillian !!!

Parker can't punch.

He couldn't punch in his prime and now he's washed and out of shape.

He was never a top guy anyway. He deserved to lose that vacant title fight against Andy Ruiz and only won the belt because of hometown scorecards. Then he turtled like a ***** in his unification against Joshua.
