Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Nears Title Shot, Lands Top WBO Ranking

[aboutfkntime]

Come on mate I thought you was going to try harder than that. I'm going to answer this in E-sharades style. Also the last time you'll question my knowledge I can't be asked it's 4am. His name has something in common with a fat female Vag. Also you mentioned Graziano earlier... I don't hold him in high opinion. I'm anti - nostalgia if you go through my post history.

You think Sugar Ray is the best ever right?... I respectfully disagree. Would you like to know why...

Plunger is a tool, and a liar..... he doesn't box..... and if he was this UK boxing expert like he makes out, he would have been aware that Fury fought Chisora TWICE instead of making a fool of himself yesterday.

He used to name-drop great fighters (out of context) in every second post, to make himself seem knowledgeable.

The dude is a silly pacstain who has no feel for the game. He supports all that same ******ed shht they do..... clean him up.

I'm surprised Parker is closing in on a world title shot, who is he fighting next? Any one in the top 20? Also, Parker looks like a walking KO waiting to happen.

Another guy wilder will surely duck.

Ive been hearing rumour's his promoter wants to bring him to the UK, possibly against david price.

I think it's a bit harsh to judge the kid like that yet, it's not like hes a 30 year old 'world champion' fighting can's getting rocked and throwing wild looping punches with a stance that look's like he will break into the splits any second.

I hope and think it will be against alex lepai next, he's semi retired looking for a last paycheck and is a tough Samoan and a slight step up from the bum's parker has been facing.

It's not harsh, just look at how he fights, he has a long way to go before he is ready for a serious world title shot.

Farce.....

Joshua is ranked no.2 by the WBC, Fury got a tite shot on the back of defeating Chisora who had been facing guys like Gerber and Pala, Glazkov beat pillow fisted Cunningham for a mandated shot. I fail to see what is farcical in one instance but isn't in another.

The winner of Parker and Joshua will create a worthy winner to face Klitschko yet we all know Joshua won't fight Parker and go for someone like Chisora or a Whyte rematch.

yeah which is exactly why he's still a prospect.
agreed the rankings are a farce tho...

Main problem with Parker is he is very, very hittable.

It's actually progressed over his career thus far with the low hands and backing up in straight lines, because these bums can clip him a few times and it's not going to bother him so hes gotten used to that.

That's why he needs a gradual step up because you need a couple of guys who are going to get his attention with shots rather than going straight in with a guy who can take your head off with one punch.

maori genetics ftw.
if he has a chin anything like tua who had an ATG chin then it wont even be a problem.
problem is that everyone is judging him like he's already the finished article, when he is clearly still a prospect, he only turned 24 the other day ffs.

Tua was 5'10" 240lbs, and had no neck I think that had more to do with his chin being so good than "maori genetics", he was very hard to hit clean on the chin.

Parker, isn't hard to hit on the chin and isnt physically built like a brick outhouse, i don't think it will be a good idea for him to trade on his chin

yeah he's not the finished article but there is a lot of noise around him considering his low level of opposition, and his trainers and fans are saying he'd beat klitschko, or fury or whoever else, i think some realism is required.
