Totally agree Parker has had a complete career turnaround, especially after what I thought was an iffy decision against Junior Fa.
The difference between Parker and these lads though is he was already a World Champion, and had fought a competitive unification fight against Joshua. These other two suffered bad losses at contender level and were written off to never to achieve anything.Comment

Honestly it's only fans on this forum who make a big deal about losing.
"ooo now he's lost 2 fights he should retire"
er.. maybe his opponents were just better? or maybe the guy who lost needs to fix some flaws?
Only little kids need a 100% record to support a boxer
Even half-boxer Jake Paul took a loss and set up a string of multi-million pound fights after.....Comment

Losing is no big deal, if you fight often a good competition.Honestly it's only fans on this forum who make a big deal about losing.

But what do heavyweights do, after losing a big fight they fight bums for another 2-3 years, once a year and their career is pretty much over.

I agree but the fans who tell everyone they should retire after a single loss - are the ones who make it hard for these fighters to risk losses.
The same fans who now think Bakole is a god after his win over Anderson will call him a fraud if he loses to Zhang say.
They also create this situation by worshipping fighters with unbeaten records even if they don't fight anyone good. Because what incentive is there to take a hard fight?Last edited by Roberto Vasquez; 08-10-2024, 09:09 AM.Comment
