    Rebuilding Parker

    Should Joe Parker maybe have a rebuilding fight vs Lucas Browne in Australia? If someone like Anthony Mundine...a fighter who would be lucky to make an undercard in the U.S.... can command a couple of million a fight for a local derby...surely Joe could make some decent money while rebuilding his confidence and getting his W back on track?

    He should be targeting Wilder straight away. He's way more skilled than Szpilka who was beating Wilder and has a great chin. I think he beats Wilder quite easily.

      honestly he needs some designer steroids that AJ is on.

      That is the difference in the fight. AJ is more enhanced.

        If potentially will fight browne, the only issue is the devastating way he lost to whyte May mean he actually can’t come out in good credit either way.

        He is probably better taking someone like a stiverne or washington. Easy fights still.

          Go fight other contenders like Pulev or Ortiz. Even Kownacki or Breazeale will do.

            If he wants to straight back into tough fights, I'd be up for seeing him against any of the top 10 (Joshua a-side). I'm not sure how many are free as it seems everyone's name in being thrown into the manatory hat(s) at the minute.

            He's a good fighter and the Joshua fight wasn't too taxing on him, so I think he's good to go again.

              He needs someone smaller...im not sure he fits the super heavyweight category. Maybe the Haye Bellew winner for some more Eddie money. Im a parker fan but after watching that fight i think hes a good boxer...but not a great fighter.. Hes too nice and it shows in the ring. No real aggression and certainly no instinct to go for the kill even when he was behind.

                he has a great chin because Roidua couldn't properly land his right hand at all, Joshua was too scared to throw scared of them counters




                They did Parker dirty

                  I think he’s kicking himself for not giving it his best shot. I don’t think that requires a rebuilding just a rededication.

                    I think the only real mistake JP made was in strategy, not doing everything he could to get inside early in the bout and wear AJ down. Instead he tried to pot shot from outside which didn't work very well for him. He's slightly faster than AJ but not fast enough to shoot from outside and make up for the reach advantage AJ has. Chris Byrd was one of the few small heavyweights that was fast enough to get in & out and JP doesn't have that speed & footwork.

                    IMO his only chance was to get inside (early in the fight) **** the body as much as he could before AJ wrapped him up, and keep doing it round after round to wear AJ down and come over the top with something, cause the few times he did connect it did stun Joshua. It was just too little & too late after trying to fight from outside.

                    JP doesn't need a rebuild HE NEEDS BETTER STRATEGIES & FIGHT PLANS.
