Parker is a terrible heavyweight

[The plunger man]

I never believed Parker was the real deal, people jumped on his d1ck because he was was something different.
New Zealand is not exactly known for its boxing pedigree to be honest.

I always said that , they make great new zealand lamb cutlets to eat and they are great at rugby ...thats about it i reckon

The problem with Joseph Parker is that they're trying to compare him to Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. He is miles off that standard. He should just stay in New Zealand and make 5-6 mandatory and voluntary defences.

AJ should skip his IBF mandatory just to add this belt

Beating somebody 12-0 makes you terrible now eh? He won every second of every round. The sport is called boxing, not knockouts. He looked very sharp in there, he used his legs, jab, speed, went to the body etc. He dominated the fight and got rounds in, hardly a big deal.

I don't know how you people can call yourselves boxing fans, I've been posting on here for nearly 4 years and it's getting more ******ed by the day. People just don't understand what they're watching I guess.

Parker only had 60-70 amateur fights I believe, he's only 25 which is a baby for a heavyweight, he's still learning from every fight. At 23-0 and just 25 years of age, he's already a world champion and beaten better fighters than somebody like Wilder has beaten. Maybe not in the same fashion, but it's not like we haven't seen Wilder outboxed by low level fighters for large periods of fights, before his power bails him out.

The current crop of heavyweights don't really impress me, but Parker is my favourite (not saying he's the best). He reminds me of Danny Garcia a bit, solid all-round and overlooked. Parker will be around for a while, he's a solid all-round fighter with lots of time on his side.

I'd pick Bellew to beat this kid. He's garbage, been saying for some time now that he's overrated.

I agree. The Takam fight showed me that he probably won't be a top HW but I give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe it was an off night and Takam is OK anyway. The Ruiz fight and today's fight proved he just isn't that good at all. Any good fighter that lands a fight with him is going to pick up a world title with relative ease.

Where isn't nakifan his boy got exposed I don't want to hear anything from him about wilder.

Couldn't agree more. He is extremely fast and athletic for a guy of that size and well coordinated. I don't think anyone is having an easy night with him, to be honest most people here don't have a clue about boxing. The Sky commentary say he isn't very good, so that means he isn't very good as far as most of these guys go.

People need to find a brain of their own. He has gone from completely overrated a year ago, to completely underrated. Subpar performances happen, Parker does not appear to have elite power, so his flaws will be exposed more often, but the man is learning his craft, and actually his level of competition has been OK.

I think he is a big plus in what is shaping into a very good division.

Lol and hold the WBO hostage?

Well said bruh

While he doesn't look that impressive, I give him props for fighting more difficult styles than either Joshua or Wilder. His opponent selection is much more diverse than either of those two. Plus he's 25 years old. No need to rush him just yet. He's progressing the way a 25 year old should.
