Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Expects Major Improvements From Andy Ruiz Fight

[Daniel H W Boon]

My thoughts exactly. Also, Parker needs and elite level strength and condition coach to address his fitness before taking on DW or AJ, who would both be dangerous to a gassed Parker in the deep rounds.

As a Parker fan I had my hopes up that he would jump to Abel's camp after the Ruiz fight.

I don't see AJ troubling Andy Ruiz

Ruiz is nothing special . He got a rep for being a hard puncher for knocking out no one and his k.o percentage shows hes not a k.o puncher . Hes been carefully matched and when he fights a big HW who can punch and go after him hes done .

Parker is a limited fighter with heart , im not so sure hes better skilled or more dangerous than his training partner Izu . Hughie is his toughest opponent bc he can box and reach Parker without going into Parkers zone like all the others have . If Parker cant beat a NON power puncher like Hughie who point fights hes done too bc the rest tall guys who can punch will punch him around ,Hughie hasn't even fought the right opponents yet ,his resume is crap whos best win is Rudenko who is average skilled and cant punch!

Parker needs to do something because his struggles against guys he should easily handle suggest hes overrated even if his trainer is to blame , i still see only a slight difference from his first fight to now and thats probably bc of the terrible match making thats suppossed to coincide with his progress (YOU GUYS SAW THE IZU FIGHT )!
