What did Joseph Parker do that's better than Hughie Fury?

[IronDanHamza]

Well didn't he weigh in at 270 lbs against Chisora the second time?

Ah come on. That's rubbish, especially in comparison to someone as basic and bland as Carlos Takam.

265 fully clothed. Fury was in shape.

Has Dillian Whyte ever been in shape?

Takam's only a decent fighter but he's better than Dillian Whyte. Dillian Whyte is not good.

The fact he rocked and hurt Joshua doesn't mean he's good it means Joshua's not that good.

Whyte was in good shape early in his career. The fact that he went in out of shape, and hurt his shoulder in the second round but still managed to go toe to toe with Joshua for 7 rounds proves he's good.

Well, we'll see about Joshua. He looked good to me at the weekend. I don't see many other heavyweights, and certainly not Takam, doing the pull and counter like Joshua did.

Takam/Parker will be IBF mandatory - what are you going to say if he flattens either in a couple of rounds?

While Joseph Parker has a paper think resume, it should be quite obvious to anyone that knows anything about boxing that he's several levels above Hughie Fury.

The Carlos Takam fight will be his first true test. If he blows out Takam then he will have ''arrived''.

[Weltschmerz]

Hughie Fury is just suffering from being overshadowed by his cousin.

Then I'll hold my hands up and stand corrected.

It would be a disaster if anything else happened.

Still waiting to hear what he's done that's better than Hughie.

Their isn't a single opponent Parker would struggle with whom Hughie has faced, Rudenko would be a great fight however one I envisage Parker would likely be the first to stop the Ukrainian.

The Browne win over Rudenko was never a win, I scored that a draw in the least for Rudenko. The manner in which Parker has won his fights Nd showcased his talents eclipses anything Hughie has achieved IMO.

Guinn is a nothing opponent, he's a human punch bag and s glutton for pain. I recall Adamek coming closest to stopping him on cuts in a potential referee stoppage which obviously never happened, Hughie never looked like stopping him, Parker most certainly has the power needed and few would doubt he could in fact stop Guinn, no doubt you believe otherwise, I have to factor Parker is not British into this.

Isn't New Zealand part of the commonwealth ? I figured you'd be a huge fan, you were a big Lewis fan right, wasnt he Canadian ?

Hughie suffers from the same condition as his cousin, pillow fists. Other than that he's better all round than his six ******** web handed cousin.

Which one opponent stands out to yourself in which Whyte was impressive against with the exception of the Joshua fight where you were impressed by his ability to wing it for seven rounds.

He stands out more to myself for the way in which he fights, he's crude, low on boxing ability, pretty much all he has is a punch. Did you watch the Minto fight I take it you liked what you saw in that fight ? Minto tagging DW at will yet with the pillow fisted former cruiser unable to deter a crude rugged brawler in Whyte.

The more I look at Whyte he reminds me of a poor mans Chisora, and I think we all know where Chisora ranks amongst the mid-top heavies, he doesn't.

[soul_survivor]

Parker hasn't done anything more than Hughie and I'm not even sure he gets past Takam. Both Hughie and Park are prospects, fringe contenders at best.

Key word is 'if'. I don't disagree, and I'm not comparing talents at all. I'm just saying that right now, Hughie has a better resume in my opinion.

Maybe Parker could stop Rudenko. Quite possibly. But he hasn't done it, so how does it affect his ranking?

Yes agree with Guinn - But which of Parker's opponents were not a punching bag?
