The fight you have been waiting for

What exactly makes this a great fight

It’s a step up for Wilder . Parker is more used to high level overall competition Wilder is who spent 3 years fighting Fury ,overall Parker is more seasoned then Wilder and if Wilder doesn’t Parker who is a decent puncher he could be in trouble,anytime you have a decent fighter with solid chin you got to worry about Wilder bc if he losses that’s the end fir him and no Joshua fight .

Parker vs Wilder is a fight with an overatted guy vs Tyson Furys lap dog so anything could happen ?

Pretty weak fight and yet at the same time probably the 3rd best opponent Wilder has been in there with in his nearly 50 fight long career, which is sad.

I'd argue he would be the second best fighter. He's a former champion and he's not old, even if he might already be past his best.

Not an easy touch at all for Wilder. In fact, I think it's a terrible decision if Wilder's team do this. Not a great deal of credibility for a win, and Parker is a capable opponent.

I meant to say he gave his belt away

2nd best really?

I think its intriguing even if Parker is washed up.

I'd probably still back this version of Parker to beat 46 Yr old Ortiz that Wilder fought, so at least its a step up fight compared to what Wilder is used to.

Wilder is 38 old part time boxer. Who was last seen getting knocked out twice. Even if Parker is washed up already, he is much more experienced in high profile fights.

I like the fight. I'm not sure how much either fighter has left.

Parker really went 1-1 with a shot Chisora, got knocked out by Joyce. Had a tough close fight with Junior Fa, the same guy that lost to Lucas Browne in a round.

If you look at Parkers form since losing to AJ and Whyte back to back, he hasn't really beaten a good fighter and been badly knocked out too.


And we have no idea what Wilder has left, he's fought 1 round in two years after two beatings from Fury. He could be shot to bits, he isn't young either. We know he can punch but he might have nothing in the tank anymore.

Yes, that is a problem, Wilder is 38 old inactive fighter. But people pretend like he is some killer. This is not 2017-2018, we have 38 old Wilder here.

Parker is what he is, but he has always been better than Wilder IMO. Just because Joyce stopped him and it took him 11 rounds, that doesn`t mean Wilder can do the same.

Parker did not go 1 in 1 with Chisora, and? I have noticed the way you brushed over Parker's second performance vs Chisora which was a really good performance 'This was also a version of Derek Chisora who came to win, and who was working with Team Hayemaker'.

Parker's second win over Chisora was impressive, only? Whyte, Haye, Parker have been able to meet Chisora head on and cancel out his momentum.

Tyson Fury was unable to score this type of victory over Chisora, even against a semi-retired Chisora in their 3rd fight 'Fury refused to fight Chisora head on, and instead like he does against most fighters he does not out weigh by 40 + pounds he backed up all night'.

Note: The Usyk and Parker fights were really the last solids versions of Derek Chisora. Since those fights Chisora has been semi-retired, and no disrespect a high level journey man 'Who has benefited from being based in the UK, and promoting his WarChisora brand'.

Parker is a capable and good fighter, and? After he fought Joe Joyce, I was the only individual who theorized the fight was a lot tougher for Joyce than people were making out. Parker whacked Joyce with most of his power punches, he maximized his offensive attacks 'Nobody can criticize Parker in that fight for lack of effort, it was for me one of Parker's best performances'.

In the aftermath of the fight, I was concerned for Joe Joyce moving forward 'And theorized that the Parker fight, he may have sustained more damage than people are aware of'.

Note: Skill for skill Parker is clearly a good fighter. He does not really have bad technique, he can put his punches together, durability most of the time seems solid. Wilder can drop rounds to most top-level Heavyweights, so? I am just wondering what tactics Parker would use for this fight 'Go at Wilder and try and put heavy pressure on him or attempt to out box him'.

Deontay Wilder is the favorite, and it is obvious that somebody has chosen Parker because 'They believe he is a solid fighter for Wilder's resume, if he gets the win' etc.

People seemed to be happy for Wilder to face Ruiz. This is a similar level of opponent and a good alternative.

Inclined to say I agree, and I don't see this mentioned that often. Parker's performance was almost dismissed, unfairly imo. In the early rounds, he landed good shots and boxed nicely. Joyce was like a man possessed that night. However, Parker gassed quite badly late on. By the end the fight wasn't really a contest. I think how easily Zhang dealt with Joyce in both fights doesn't reflect well on Parker in the eyes of many either.

I think he could give Wilder some problems. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if he won.
