    Half of Flores opponents had positive record, this should be a nice KO for Parker.

      Yep, Parker back to fighting on Burger King cards, as I predicted. He's a gatekeeper at best and he had his run. He never had enough fire in him to win it all

        I agree. I lost all interest in this guy after seeing his poor performance and lack of desire to win vs Joshua and Whyte.

          Tough crowd here.

          "Gate keeper" "never had fire" etc etc .... will not associate any of those to Parker.

          He is a good fighter who lost to other good , better , decent fighters on the night.

          No shame in that.

          Nothing wrong in staying busy instead of waiting in the sidelines and being rusty.

          He will be fine.

            It's a good fight for him. I believe a KO will boost his confidence and project him higher the rankings and give him a W after 2 L 's.

            Am sure he will be champ again soon.

              He got a bit of a gift with Ruiz. Talked his way into an AJ fight only to posture his way around the ring for 12 rounds hardly throwing anything. Same with Whyte until the last round when he decided to grow a pair. He will never be a champion again because he will never risk getting knocked out, to get a KO for himself. That's the difference between a champ and a chump. Every since he stepped up his competition, he has yet to get a KO. That spells gatekeeper

                Only true comment here.
                I believe he will fight at top level again if not multiple times. He’s more than proved he’s good enough to fight amongst the top 10.
                He’s just missing a few tweaks.
                Fast hands and a good jaw. U Can’t teach that!

                  If he fights a good fight, a dominant performance or a KO and he should start to feel himself in there again. He went for it in bits against AJ but was held at bay due to AJ's boxing. Against Whyte, there was that clash of the heads and he sulked until the final round and almost had Whyte out of there.

                  Parker's a good boxer he just needs to maintain a level of consistency for the whole 12 rounds with more will.

                    I think we will see him back on April 13 against Ortiz or Povetkin. Hopefully monster undercard planned for that day.
