[solid_jab1987]

Why not Michael Hunter? To top 10 heavyweights right there. Travel restrictions permitted obviously but they could work towards that fight.

[Get em up]

Kowabacki would be a good opponebt

Yeah but that fight ain't happening anytime soon. The bull**** politics wouldn't allow it.

Hunters contract was up and he’s not fighting on DAZN so that fight isn’t even possible cutting ties to Hunter and then asking him to go fight in NZ .

Why not Hrgovic?

probably Junior Fa.

probably Junior Fa.

This is the fight to want to see ,should even out somewhat since Parker hasn’t fought a live body in two years . Fa is a bit better then advertised and I’ve never seen a bad domestic fight just look at the struggles Parker had with Leapai to get him out of there ,the 6”6 Fa May want something to say about who will represent NZ he has an amateur wins over Parker to .

Can you imagine what the over price on Parker by Higgins would be for that one this time ? We’re looking at a possible 75 % of the purse to risk taking a beating by Hrgovic while we hear Higgins speak about Parker’s A side . Fight would never happen right now .

Fa would be an attractive fight, especially in these times. You have some history and it's a local rivalry as well. I'm not too impressed with Fa but Parker (who I like) typically underwhelms in matchups big and small.

With that being said, I'm hoping Fa and expecting Browne.

Sadly you are right

Parker needs to put the HW division on notice with a name fighter his next go -around, if he doesn't, he'll be in danger of losing momentum, motivation and tagged with the dreaded has-been journeyman status.

I still believe Parker has the talent to win titles, his only problem as I see it is he has never really settled into a style that suits him.

I think he's best as an aggressive boxer/puncher, on the front foot and pressuring. All his fights where he has sat back and tried to box haven't really convinced me he's giving 100%.
