Parker was disappointing, or maybe he was never as good as some claimed...
A bit of both.
I think he's looked disinterested in and out of the ring in the last couple of years.
It's always been somewhat evident that he was never the best heavyweight around when he sc****d past the likes of Andy Ruiz, but he seemed to have a lot more desire and hunger in the ring then. He doesn't even have that now.
Bro, I was there for that one at the Bell Centre! I was literally the only Andrade fan in the place and was so happy when he finally dropped Bute. I even borrowed a Mexican flag from a friend of my wife. Good times!!
Awesome! He should have won. Sounds like it was a fun night. Montreal is a fun city. Although Toronto is my home!
Now it’s apparent that Parker was never as good as people were hyping him to be.
But I thought he did enough to get the decision this fight.
Both would get KNocked out in six rounds by Wilder.
Parker is doesn’t have a good chin and Whyte is tailor made for Wilder.
He doesn’t have the technical skill to scare Wilder into not throwing that right hand nuke.
The only HW fight that needs to be made is AJ vs DW
Wilder needs to fight Whyte right now if he has any shot of getting more money in the Joshua fight. With Joshua having a great fight coming up with Polvetkin, and if he beats him; Wilder doesn’t have a leg to stand on to demand more money. His team should be on the phone right now to fight Whyte. And impressive win against him, gives him more bargaining power at the table. But I know Joshua’s team will probably opt to fight Whyte in a rematch after Polvetkin. Because they can offer him more money too.
Wilder is f.ck.d now with this Whyte win. There aren’t any opponents left that Joshua hasn’t already beaten. He beat Takam, Whyte, & Parker. If Joshua beats Polvetkin and then Whyte again, Wilder is fighting Joshua’s scraps. Wilder has to get to Whyte 1st and KO him in impressive fashion. Baby Miller isn’t that strong of an opponent compared to Whyte coming off this win.
Good point. Besides, Big Baby seems to have taken Joshua path and Wilder will continue fighting the left overs. He should have taken Whyte fight. Now it's getting too late and Whyte is actually getting better with every fight. Another leverage point for Eddie and AJ against Wilder. Plus one more in September and Eddie will comfortably scale back his offer of 15 back to 12.5. If Wilder is lucky. The boxing world has moved on and left its champion behind. It is incredible how Wilder's career is mismanaged, but what do you expect when you have 35 co-managers and 75 promoters buzzing around? To be truly successful in this business you cant only bring fists to the table, you need to have a proper team and Wilder just doesn't get it.
