If Usyk ducks Parker, that makes Parker the real world champ.

[TheProudLunatic]

Nope...Parker will put up a better showing than Dubois, Fury and Joshua.

I still don't know why this thread exists !!!!!

[TMLT87]

Yep...the very same Parker but not the same fighter these days.

The Parker that fought Joshua was a fresh faced bumpkin from down under trained by a dodgy grifter with form and managed by a guy wayyyy out of his league.

Parker consequently got jobbed by a helpful ref. His trainer exposed as limited and his manager a given lesson in how to lose with no rematch clause.

The same Parker 6 months later and with the same team got the same result. Jobbed by U.K's finest. A roided up Whyte and slimy Eddie the Eel.

Going into the Joyce fight with a case of sniffles, lack of conditioning and not much of a game plan other than swing for the hills and hope to blast Joyce outta there in the early rounds saw Parker, gas, fade and get splattered late. He still went out on his shield.

2025 version Parker. The one Dubois ducked has a quiet, calm, steely ultra disciplined determination to become a 2 time champ. He's not the same man or fighter that stepped into the river with Joshua, Whyte or Joyce. 3 overhyped flawed fighters who Parker would mop the floor with today.

Vs Usyk, Parker has the best chance of any fighter Usyk has faced since Chisora. Parker is more mentally stable than Joshua, in better condition than Fury and a far better boxer than Dubois. He is also better trained and is much more disciplined than them.

Write The Mighty Oilskin off at your peril. Fans of Wilder, Zhang and Bakole did but here we are. Parker is the last man standing of this era and the final hope of defeating Usyk in it.

He's earnt the opportunity and desreves his shot wayyy more then anyone. Kabayel, Itauma, Fury whom ever needs to get in the queue behind Parker and earn their shot.

It's not a forgone conclusion Usyk wins easily. May the best man win on the day...

This is a whole lot of excuses for a guy who has lost multiple times and also has at least 3 contentious decision wins. I like how you make these excuses for his losses but dont mention that Bakole came in on 2 days notice, Zhang was 41 years old and got beaten more easily by Kabayel, and Wilder was a washed post-Fury version who had been out for over a year.

This narrative that Dubois ducked Parker is unfounded too. You mean he realised he could get the much bigger Usyk fight and went for that instead. If he was ducking Parker he wouldnt have taken the fight in the first place. I dont think its anywhere near a given that Parker wins that fight if it happens either.

Anyway, all this talking about who has the best chance to beat Usyk is dumb. The man is 38 years old, when he loses its going to be to father time more than anything else.

Another fool who doesn't know the difference between a reason and an excuse.

Shoulda stayed in school champ !

[M312]

Yep...won him the fight going away laughing.

Joyce, bless his little cottonsocks, will always have that annihilation of Parker to jerk off to.

It was a damn good fight!

Nicked him the fight because he simply couldn't and was afraid to compete*

Kabayel showed us how it's actually done.

Joyce, bless his little cottonsocks, will always have that annihilation of his play thing Parker to jerk off to. It's true!

And Parker will always have that PTSD of how easily the slowest boxer in the world made him his little plaything and ragged him around the ring as if he didn't exist.

^^^Haha...Whatever you need to tell yourself champ.

Have a great life. Parker sure is. Mine is pretty sweet too!

Parker doesn't sleep at night.
All he sees is Joe Joyce mowing him down.

Probably not too dissimilar to you, but you see Joseph 'mowing' you down...
