He does no doubt have a disadvantage. I think he's going to shock some people against the taller men. Even dating back to his amateur days has had a big problem with shorter bulldog come forward fighters. Takam and Ruiz stylistically bad for him. Gutted about Hughie Fury i think he would have proven how he handles the big men much better. Not to be disregarded just yet and honestly i gave him a real good chance against Wilder.

I agree with him beating Wilder,don't think he beats Fury or Joshua but he's got decent power so could land that shot to end it. We won't know how good these guys are until they all fight though so there's lots to look forward toHe does no doubt have a disadvantage.

Wilder would possibly.... Possibly... End Parkers career. He has an even longer reach then AJ and FIGHTS THAT WAY. There is a reason Parker and his handlers DON'T EVEN MENTION HIS NAME when Wilder has been calling him out since he beat Washington.Comment

He went to his fight and sat ringside for Washington and met up afterward. Go look it up yourself they're not scared of talking about wanting the fight. Parker expressed how he wanted to unify with Wilder after winning the belt. Wilder fans talk bollocksComment

Wilder and Parker living vicariously through Anthony Joshua, tbh. It seems like people try and make their fighters stock rise based on whatever trials and tribulations Joshua has. Parker has more of an excuse as he's over there is New Zealand and I'm sure it is not easy for them to make top fights for him but they've stuck him in there with Takam and Ruiz at least and based on what Hearn says about his team they're nice guys and they're trying their best with him but ultimately they're going to have to up sticks to the UK you'd think at some point.
But nobody was saying Anthony Joshua was any better just because Wilder got outboxed for periods against an unheralded Washington or because Ruiz was a fairly decent operator and gave Parker trouble. Joshua's credibility isn't going to take another shot in the arm if Parker struggles to KO this Coconuts fellow at the weekend.
I suppose it is good for boxing that Joshua's rivals catch some additional hype just by virtue of him fighting.Comment

After watching Parker's last two scraps, I find this headline hilarious. His arms are really short and he doesn't seem to have any legitimate power to rely on.
He will get bullied and stopped by Joshua relatively easy. Better chance against Wilder, but that right hand might end him. Wilder does fight from range, but his footwork is so bad you never know.Comment
