        Looks capable of remaking himself as a post boxing career actor as well.

          He'll end the Big Doobie hype train!

              Probably the most likeable boxer out there.

              I always said he'd come again and thought he'd win another belt somewhere down the line.

              The only thing is that, while he's multi dimensional, he's not exceptional in any area. Decent skill, decent size, decent movement, semi-respectable power, good resilience, decent thinker... a good all round heavyweight, but not exceptional enough compared to the real players in the division.

                Parker is one of the most likable guys in boxing. I like to see him winning.
                Great to see him entertaining us with videos like the one on his YouTube channel. Excellent stuff !

                  I get that - like game characters where you choose to sacrifice speed and agility for power and guile - boxers have strengths and weaknesses. Parker's strength is his team.

                  Andy Lee and George Lockhart along with wifey Laine, his 5 kids, parents, friends and culture mean he's grounded and stable. That counts for a lot i reckon.

                  There's no drama like Fury's dad, Joshua's insecurity, Wilder's coach, Ruiz weight, Dubois spectrum highs/lows.

                  Exceptionalism is over rated. Being an adaptable all rounder with a decent beard and commitment to the craft outweighs exceptionalism.

                  Comparison to the real players puts Parker in a class equal to Usyk in terms of Team. In a fight id say its 50/50 and by no means would Usyk swamp him or gas him out.

                    Hard to judge but I'm going with Daniel for now.

                    Parker looks great against jabronis who stand there and do nothing. It makes it hard to tell how well he'll do against Danny but I wouldn't be shocked if he steam rolls Dubois too.
