The Mighty Oilskin Joe Parker may be the best heavyweight of his era

[kafkod]

What is it with people who are "sure" they know what somebody else would do or say when they don't even know that person ?

Bro, you don't know shït about what i would be like and you sure as fück can't be sure about anything about what Parker would be like if he was British, cos hes fücking NOT!!!

I hate to break it to you, mate, but when it comes to the mighty Gore-Tex Parker, you are nothing if not predictable. 100% predictable.

You are also forgetting that Gore-Tex lives and trains in the UK, has a British promoter, and a lot of British fans. In fact, Gore-Tex probably has more fans in the UK there are people in his home country!

Exactly, criticizing the promotional pull of UK boxing even though Parker himself has heavily benefited from it. If it wasnt for him getting to fight a bunch of UK names in the UK he'd be in obscurity pretty much. Where else would he have built his profile? his home country is the size of a city and its media has no international presence, and America doesnt even care about its own HWs these days.

If both posters above were American, I'm SURE they'd be orange muppet supporters, and if they were Saudi they'd be sexist pigs, and if they were women they'd be crack hos.

See what i did there ?

The difference is you have a pattern of behaviour when it comes to whining about Brits and disappearing up Parkers arse like life depends on it.

Yeah...there's a pattern about how Warren and Hearn have tried to hold the straps to ransom in the U.K, with ducks, age outs, sidelining, lowballs, rematches, exhibitions and sucking up to the Sauds.
Are you going to deny that ?

Let's say I, or Parker were Brits. What can you actually be SURE about ?
Are you claiming to know me better than myself ?

I've been championing Parker since AJ's pet ref jobbed him and ducked him ever since. Why ?

Because the Brit promoters have done their damndest to shut Parker out from a title challenge since then and they're still doing it.

That sudden case of Sniffles Dubois got was all rotten fisheyes doing. Hearn trying to set Parker up to lose to Wilder and Zhang was some classic Turkey whispering.

So yeah, screw those dodgy fückers. They'll be hoping Fabio can take Parker to the scorecards cos its their last chance to stop him from claiming his rightful place at the head of the queue to fight the ukie cringedancer or inherit a belt.

Parker needs to K Frawdley the FO cos ain't no way Parker will get a fair decision in the U.K. Twice he's been jobbed. A third time and he may as well retire.

not all countries do boxing, brazil loves its mma and jiu jitsu and other forms of martial arts, u would have to change a culture and switch over to boxing, im sure martial arts give something to brazilians and other communities who do mma based stuff

Brazil is a massive country, but other neighboring nations have certainly put forth both a stronger presence in Boxing; and tangentially, a stronger military presence as well. In Brazil, uniquely, the traditional martial art / ceremonial dance style of Capoeira has long been associated with it's culture.
Boxing in Brazil was introduced by European immigrants in the mid 19th century, particularly by English, Italians, Germans, and Portuguese.

By the early 20th century, European immigration led to a greater interest in boxing, establishing a more organized presence.
Italo Hugo, Rubens Soares, Attilio Loffredo, Manoel Pires, Euzebio Maximo, Joe Assobrab, Brasilino Fino, Joao Tavares Crespo, Antolin Rodrigo, Luis Ignacio, Serafim Cardoso, Tobias Bianna and Antonio Rodrigues were among the early stars of Brazilian boxing.

In more recents decades, Waldemiro Pinto, Adilson Rodrigues, Juarez de Lima, Miguel de Oliveira, Valdemir Pereira, Sebastiao Nascimento, Francisco de Jesus, Mauricio Amaral and Robson Conceicao have served as stars of the domestic scene.

And of course, Hall of Fame world champion Eder Jofre, 72-2-4 (50), ranks alongside Pelé, Manuel Francisco dos Santos, Rivaldo Vítor Borba Ferreira, Neymar da Silva Santos, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Kaká, Ronaldo, Garrincha, Romário (Soccer), Ayrton Senna (Race Car Driver), Gustavo Kuerten (Tennis), Oscar "Mão Santa" Schmidt (basketball), Robert Scheidt, Torben Grael (sailing), Nelson Prudêncio, Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima, Joaquim Carvalho Cruz, Adhemar da Silva (Track), Anderson da Silva, Royce Gracie, Vitor Belfort, Glover Teixeira (Mixed Martial Arts), and female soccer star Marta Vieira da Silva, as one of Brazil's most revered sporting icons.

Joao Henrique 48-4-1 (33) is widely known throughout Brazil, and Acelino Freitas 41-2-0 (34), has more recently been a Brazilian boxing icon, with his wedding a national event broadcast live on television throughout Brazil.

What a load of fucking bollocks. AJ already fought and beat Parker. If Gore-Tex had gone out and stuck it on AJ, the way Ruiz and DDD did, the result might have been different, but he didn't do that did he. He played it safe and fought the kind of fight that AJ wanted him to fight. You can't blame the ref for Parker's lack of ambition.

Then when Fury beat Wilder, Parker moved to Morecombe to become Fury's full time sparring partner, while telling everybody he would never fight his best friend Tyson for the WBC belt. Lack of ambition again. It's called being too nice for your own good.

Frank Warren is Parker's promoter now, but we all know who's pulling the strings in the HW division, and it isn't Warren or Hearn. Turki Alalshikh for whatever reason, isn't keen on Parker fighting Usyk next. Maybe, if Gore-Tex looks good against Wardley, he'll get his chance next year. I hope so, if only to shut you up!

See what i did there ?

If we were American, we wouldn't even know who Joseph Parker is.

[IronDanHamza]

Jokes aside, Parker is not very good, I think we can all agree on that.

AJ was on his bike for most of the Parker fight knowing he only had to go the distance to get the decision and ducked any rematch since.

Just like he was vs Fat Andy 2. If AJ had tried to press the action or the ref had let Parker go to work AJ may have gone the way of Ruiz 1, when the fat amerexican made him quit in the corner with no ref to save him.

That Parker has taken on all comers your fraudulent countrymen have ducked and is due a title shot or a belt speaks volumes to his ambitions.

What do Fury, Joshua and Dubois the fake U.K ex champs want to do ? Sweet fück all. They made bank and pretty much called it quits now.
