So where does Parker go from here?

[VatoMulatto]

Try to get a rematch with Whyte or take a tune-up fight against a hand picked opponent back in New Zealand to get a win and some needed confidence.

[juggernaut666]

He needs to fight 5 NZ fights and get on track.


Hes been poorly managed and hehas to realise the division isnt going anywhere , he NEEDS 2 years of really taking CORRECT fights while improving himself instead of guess work with bad match making , hes a top fighter but even most of his top wins are questionable .

[DaaamnSon]

He's got decent skills and size but he doesn't have that dog in him to be an elite fighter.

[Joseph_parker]

He used to knock out people all the time. He can throw a punch. Just in the last year or so it has gone.

He needs a new trainer.

He definitely needs to change something, he is very young and has plenty of time/ chances to improve and make a good comeback. He still an handful when he wants. He has the speed to dazzle HWs, so back to the drawing board, a few fights at home and then go at it again.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Back to carrying Tua’s spit bucket. It’s clear that Parker isnt elite.

He should just mix it up with the Chisoras and the Arreolas.

[Rip Chudd]

Dig up a few corpses and get a few wins under his belt. He lacks grit though, so I don't see him being much of a title contender now. Heck Big Baby Miller would beat this dude

[KillaCamNZ]

It's got to start with leaving Kevin Barry. He hasn't kicked on since a promising start, his conditioning hasn't improved, and his ability to knock people out has trended backwards. There have been huge rumblings for a while already saying his time with Barry has run it's course - and the complete inability to switch up the gameplan against Whyte should be the final straw.

Odds are, he's going back home to take a few stepping stone fights - think Arreola or worse. Then maybe a rematch with Ruiz or Takam, while trying to springboard back into title contention (probably as a mandatory).
