    I don't know exactly how good Joseph is yet. But I have to say his training vids to show he does have good speed for a heavyweight and quite impressive at times
    And I hear he's been boixing since 4? How seriously he was at that age is questionable though. He might have just worn gloves and hit bag for first 10 years

      Of course not.

      A fighter can elevate himself. No one starts out A level as a pro and if Parker pulls off the miracle then he's A level.

        Wilder was B level until very recently when beating Ortiz. Wilder is now elevated to B+.
        Wilders best win was stiverne. Only Wilders trash talk was A level

          They are exaggerating, but in this era of SHWs Parker does have great handspeed and mobility.

            Joseph Parker isnt a great fighter but he undeniably has a great handspeed, eye test doesnt lie
            But it takes more than handspeed to compete at the top level, hes a pretty basic fighter after its all said and done.

              Only Joseph Parker the Nz Ninja can beat Joseph Parker the Nz Ninja.

              I love it when he does the Naz front-flip into the ring.

              What a guy.

                It’s already B Level... Parker would make it C Level

                    They probably are.

                    I don't consider any of the current active crop to be elite fighters.

                      Anyone who believes Parker doesn't have good handspeed is either blind, or doesn't watch fights. The latter wouldn't surprise me.

                      Parker has his flaws, but handspeed is not one of them. Quick hands and an iron chin make him a tough out.
