They are really feeding everyone to this guy.

I wouldn't be surprised if they throw Danny Green in with him next.

You need to understand how the game works.

You develop a fighter.

Parker is a 23yo kid who has been in with better opponents than guys like Joshua/Wilder at a similar stage.

They are still working on developing his frame and ironing out basics in his game.

Rome wasn't built in a day my friend, and neither was a heavyweight champion.

Baby-steps, are all that is required at this stage.

They should give him more time for this reason..... because they can.

Barry is doing a great job with the kid.

Parker will obviously step up when the time is right.

Parker needs to continue developing his game while getting more exposure to world-class sparring such as Klitschko, etc.

He is right on track.

decent test, meehan is tough.

Wow Meehan is shop worn but no slouch, this Parker kid really means business, he wins this the world will take notice, but I expect him to stop Meehan early. Good on Parker for stepping up and fighting good fights.

Meehan surprised me with his beating of cameron. Parker will need to be careful with meehan. He can crack & he is a good fighter. Parker will take him out in the mid rounds. Meehan got knocked out by travis walker so there is no reason parker should lose.

I could see that coming.

I'm a kiwi, but I've never really rated Cameron.

Not at HW anyway.
