Hard not to like big Joe. He’s not the most talented of the division but is a workhorse and over achiever. Doesn’t sit around whining that he hasn’t had a shot, he just keeps fighting guys that a lot of people don’t want to fight. Great attitude that 99% of boxers don’t possess.

Bring on Wardley, Hrgovic, Itauma, Usyk, anybody. Joe will fight anybody.

And, sure, I am 100% he beats DDD.

I think people need to calm down with the praise of Joseph Parker. People may think I am being very critical with that opening statement.

I understand that certain folk in society live in the moment. And everything that happens in the moment is the greatest ever 'Oleksandr Uysk is the heavyweight champion in the moment, apparently Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker are super elite heavyweight fighters that nobody wants to fight'.

Note: 'The reality is, since Anthony Joshua beat Joseph Parker easy without getting out of second gear. He has pretty much been a non - factor in the heavyweight division at top level for way over half a decade. Until very recently with his wins over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole'.

A few months ago I asked the question about Parker 'what on earth has he been doing for the past decade? Do you guys know that he turned professional before Anthony Joshua? Parker and Kabayel have been around in the game throughout the entire heavyweight reigns of Fury, Joshua and Wilder'.

Fair play to Parker for having a good run of fights of late 'but really? He should have been performing at this level many years ago, when both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua were at the peak of their powers in the game as Heavyweight Champions'.

As I have been stating quite a lot of late in many other threads 'fighters like Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker are sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, and for a big opportunity. Not because other top level fighters are that intimidated by them, but because? In reality when we talk about fighters like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Uysk. At this stage in their careers after winning, Olympic, World, Unified and Undisputed titles'.

They are in the game to gain, they are in the gain game 'with each move they make, they are looking to maximize their potential gain from a single win'.

To conclude: I think the hype with Agit Kabayel is way too much 'at least once upon a time, Joseph Parker was an undefeated WBO World heavyweight champion'.

Joseph Parker might as well take the fight with Fabio Wardley 'because if he wins, in the eventuality of Oleksandr Uysk vacating his belts he will then be elevated to being a World Champion'

I would make Parker the strong favourite to beat Wardley, and even stylistically this a fight straight up Joseph Parker's street. Fabio Wardley skill for skill is a not a super talent boxer and? I don't really rate his endurance. Outside of a title fight against Uysk or a mega fight vs Joshua II, this is solid match making for Joseph Parker. A very winnable fight etc.

Parker has earned a shot at Usyk That really can’t be disputed. But I have the Brooklyn Bridge to sell you if you really truly believe Parker has anything in his arsenal to threaten Usyk. If it’s the best fights you want - Kabayel next is the guy you should be clamoring for

i recall a few years ago you calling Parker a duck. When his fight with Joyce was being made. You said he wouldn’t fight him. You said he was ducking Hrgovic, Joyce & a few others. You also said Hunter was ducking Hrgovic & then just recently Hrgovic DUCKED the very same IBF eliminator to fight Adeyele instead of the opponent ordered. You said Bakole was the new boogeyman & he got smashed by Parker & then escaped with a draw with Ajagba. Parker was ALWAYS a top 10 who fought anyone. It’s about money & not titles…Hgovic was never ducked there is just no money fighting him & thats the same thing with Bakole. Big risk no reward. Now Hrgovic doing the exact same thing. Parker was always a top fighter & i always said this no matter how much flack i got. I have been proven right again. Come join the pick em game…

Kabayel seems to be the forgotten fighter in the division when he's practically consensus as among the most dangerous and deserving of squaring up with the top tier guys.
He's 32 and should be lined up for something big but I can't find anything other than a mention of Okolie as a possible next victim. I can't see an Okolie fight as anything other than a showcase. We deserve better.

You said this, you said that..years ago...everybody is wrong sometimes. Including you. i don`t recal each time you called it wrong, because it doesn`t matter.

I also clearly predicted Parker to beat Zhang and Wilder , you and others didn`t.

I won`t blame Hrgovic. he is just doing what the other kept doing to him. Hunter has done like nothing since he ducked Hrgovic. Hrgovic has fought Zhang and DDD since than.

Bakole has fought Jared and Ajagba, also Parker. While Hunter is doing like nothing?

Actually i picked Parker to beat Zhang & Wilder (which i also won x5 point upgrade for picking Parker for the upsets as he was the clear underdog in both) but i picked Wilder to beat Zhang which obviously didn’t happen. I’m wrong lots but I just seen you write Parker will fight anyone… That wasn’t the case a couple years ago… Time changes & so do our opinions. I guess i didn’t have to point it out. I apologize… but you should join Pick Em league… its friendly fun & banter
