How far can Joseph Parker go?

[qad]

Parker’s only 28yrs old. He’s already been a champion and shared the ring with likes of Joshua, Whyte and Ruiz Jr.

The fight against Ruiz was closely contested. The loss against whyte was controversial due to the headbutt and Parker arguably came out looking better. And the fight against Joshua left a lot more to be desired.

Assuming Parker has 10-12 more years left at the top, how much farther can he achieve? Can he become a champion again? Or perhaps even a unified champ?

How do you see the following fights going:

Rematch vs Joshua.
Rematch vs Whyte.
Vs Wilder.
Vs Fury.
Vs Povetkin.
Vs Joe Joyce.
Vs Usyk.
Vs Luis Ortiz.

He lacks strength and charisma necessary for being a long run HW champion. He will end IMO as a man whom is good to beat before a belt battle for new stars of HW.

[Toffee]

I think he'll be a champion again. He's more than good enough to pick up a vacant. Probably not enough of a star to pick off a weak champion.

He's a likeable guy too. Could be marketed.

[REDEEMER]

He’s already said he’s retiring in his early 30”s which isn’t a good sign and that wasn’t to long ago coupled with inactivity of no real live opponent. He would lose most those matches, Fury, AJ , Joyce and Hrgovic you didnt include are all road blocks . The others are toss ups but I wouldn’t make him favored over Usyk either . His best bet is against Ortiz but he’s not to far off retirement either most likely .

The root of the problem is does he stick with bad match making Barry does for him and crazy Higgins who has tried to sneak him in high spots in the rankings instead of progress him the right way . The beginning of the end should have been the Ruiz fight but their back up plan worked fighting in NZ and getting the MD win . They then rushed him into a unified fight with A.J with more close calls against Hughie .

I don’t see Parker becoming champion again ,he’ll probably linger in top 10 rankings . Let’s put this in perspective, Shawndell Winters is his best win since 2017 ,this is signs of getting or attempting one last big fight it’s why Higgins is claiming Parker deserves a title elimination fight if he defeats Fa .

Parker is a good fighter and actually is capable of beating any of those on his day.

I think he would struggle with AJ based on the first performance because of Joshua’s ability to box both and have power. He may lose to fury for a similar reason (more weighted to being outboxed).

Would love to see him against any of the other four

Didn’t know he was that young, he should still be in the mix with other top 10 guys.

Tier below the top guys. Should fight Usyk.

[Rip Chudd]

He has already gone as far as he could. He won a vacant strap in a contested fight. That'll be the highlight of his career

[JakeTheBoxer]

He is overachiever. I think he lacks power to achieve more than he already has.
