Comments Thread For: Don?t punish Joseph Parker for losing ? in fact, reward him

[PRINCEKOOL]

I think the stoppage was not warranted, especially due to the level of the fight 'and the titles on the line'.

But nevertheless? Joseph Parker really should not have been in that much of a competitive fight with Fabio Wardley 'I stated before the fight? That Joseph Parker throughout his entire career has lost 95% of all of his biggest fights'.

Note: Joseph Parker lost vs Anthony Joshua in 2018, then disappeared from top level in the sport for half a decade 5 years 'he then lost vs Dillian Whyte, and although he did produce a commendable effort vs Joe Joyce. That was another pivotal fight, that could have sky rocketed his career which he lost brutally'.

Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley 'was the first real top level fight, in a very long time where? Joseph Parker had all the pressure on him. Many respected active, former fighters and boxing analyst were all expecting Parker to win'.

The reality of Joseph Parker's career? Go and check his resume 'he has never won a top level fight, were all the pressure has been on him. Parker has never turned up to the big dance, and took over the dance floor'.

Tyson Fury has many times, Anthony Joshua has many times, Deontay Wilder has many times and so has Oleksandr Uysk during his career 'that is why they are the premier heavyweight champions of this era, and Joseph Parker even after beating Wilder? Is not going to be rated anywhere near his level as fighter, currently right now as their careers and feats achieved are compared'.

Joseph Parker to his credit beat a miles outside of his peak Deontay Wilder, and then two long time non-factors in the heavyweight divisions in Zhilei Zhang and a grossly out of condition Martin Bakole. If you really analyse all of his recent wins and performances in detail? You would realize that they were all completely overrated'.

Fabio Wardley had in reality? Been beating and competing against the more in form fighters 'that were actually stepping into the ring to win. Frazier Clarke twice, and then Justis Huni. There is a definitive debate to be made, and evidence which does suggest that Wardley on pure form had been competing at higher level than Joseph Parker before their fight'.

I think Joseph Parker if he has the desire should continue to fight 'and he will most likely do his usual thing. Which is? Win a few solid level fights, where he is the underdog. And then people will try and make out that he is one of the top level fighters in the Heavyweight Divisions'.

But in my opinion? Whenever Joseph Parker in the future, fights again at World or Elite level 'if he ever gets that big ticket, to attend the big dance again. Maybe against Anthony Joshua in a rematch II. Make absolutely no doubt about it? Joseph Parker will be completely lasered out',

Because I don't think Joseph Parker has a great clutch game, when he is on the big stage 'and all the camera's and lights are on him? The man has never performed. I don't care what all the cronies in the sport say, that have appeared during the latter stages of this heavyweight era'.

To conclude: Joseph Parker is nowhere near the level of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, or Deontay Wilder at their peak or in solid form in the case of Fury and Joshua. He has never been a champion and defended his titles, in a big pressure environment. As I have stated many times before? Those three fighters are the three heavyweight Mountains of this era.

People can all check my posts in regards to Fabio Wardley vs Joseph Parker 'I was not really in any fighters corner. And I would have been very content if Parker won'.

But I could kind of sense that Joseph Parker may not be able to deal with this high pressure situation 'the tactics in training camp were clearly not optimal, 260 + pounds of un-functional mass was not great tactic. And he also fought not such a wise fight'.

In an ideal world? I would like to see an immediate rematch between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley II 'there is a actual theme and narrative now for the rematch. And I think Joseph Parker and his team should be primarily pursing that fight' etc.

Having been a fan of the ufc since VHS tapes then TUF, I don't see the issue of an L any more.
Parker should push for a rematch with the belt chucker, only with a better ref this time.

[crisantonio917]

Do you guys have anything else to write about except this fight, every F'ckn day????

[pollywog]

Usyk had to give up his IBF belt to honour a rematch clause with Fury.

There is nothing stopping him from defending his WBO against Wardley.
And what if Wardley doesn't want to fight Parker again, instead of fighting Usyk for the undisputed world title?

A Parker vs Wardley rematch would be a big fight. But bigger than Usyk vs Wardley for all the belts? Again, not even close.

Whatever reason Usyk gave up a belt is irrelevant. The fact is, he did and could easily do it again to then try to win it back and go 3 times undefeated, undisputed, grand unified.

That's GOAT legacy!

Parker, with his proven U.K popularity, in a rematch with new Great British hope Wardley could easily sell out Wembly! Especially if Fabio was newly minted champ with an email belt.

Wardley is now in U.K superstar status like AJ was when facing Parker. Never been dropped, never lost and with an equally as enchanting backstory to sell.

The Usyk fight for all the belts would still be there after a Fabio/Oilskin rematch. Both fights are massive money makers.

Parker v A.J, i believe?, was Joshuas biggest pay per view. Vs Parker, it would easily be Fabios now too, perhaps more so than vs Usyk given the nature and disputed outcome of what we just witnessed.

Its a guaranteed full on fight to the death pretty much. A known quantity as opposed to Fabio vs Usyk maybe in Poland to negate the homecooking and crowd favouritism in the U K.

The point is, Usyk holds all the cards and decides who or if he wants to fight Wardley, where and when. No one can force him. It's probably in his best interests to marinate and shopwear Wardley a little by giving up a strap in the meantime.

Average Joe Parker is at the back of the queue where he belongs.

He should rematch Hughie Fury as many felt he lost that fight.

[Liondw]

Did he lose though? No one with any modicum of boxing knowledge thinks Foster should've stopped the fight.

Imagine Howard Foster reffing Castillo-Corrales or Hagler-Hearns? He would've ruined it.

[steeve steel]

Bullshït!

Of course Parker thought he was gonna win, but no way did he think it was easy money. He knew one wrong move and it would be lights out.

Easy money is Whyte signing up to go nighty night vs Itauma in the first round and getting another payday vs Delboy for his troubles.

And no Huni didnt do better. Parker went an extra round and Justis actually hit the deck on pretty much the first decent flush shot. Parker never went down.

There was nothing shameful about Parkers performance. The shame lies with the ref and your lies.

Sorry, but i have to disagree. Huni clearly outboxed White Colar for the whole fight, and was cruising to an easy victory before he lost his concentration and got clipped. Parker struggled half of the fight, and seemed puzzled at times. Also, the fact that he came in so overweight proves that he was already thinking past Wardley, because his strategy was to come in heavy against Usyk, and he was testing it out.

The ref did his job, Parker was overwelmed, wasn't throwing and Wardley has devastating power.

There are no lies here, and no conspiracy. Just a frustrated Parker fan.

This analysis is spot on! And if Parker can't clearly outbox White colar Wardley, he doesn't have the legitimacy to fight Usyk.

[ggallin7]

The same part that says, Usyk doesn't have to fight Wardley.

He can email Fabio a belt. Parker and Fabio can fight it out again as a legit title fight/defense with Usyk fighting the definitive winner.

It's not like he didn't kinda do that with Dubois.

Parker v Fabio 2 is as big a stadium money fight in the U.K now as Usyk v Fabio, now that he's the next great British hope.

And Uncle Frank gets to double dip all without ever needing the camel racer and his pet MMA shill to stump up the prize money.

I doubt im alone in wanting to see Parker v Wardley again than Usyk v Wardley or anyone else.

yeh i'd like to see parker wardley 2

but do you agree that huni wasnt given a chance to fight on when he got up, it looked like the ref decided the fight was over when huni hit the deck regardless how quick he got up and if he looked ok
