    I dunno. I think Parker may have hit his ceiling. He's top 10 guy and has a chance to beat anyone on a given night not name Tyson Fury.

      When you are getting beat by Shyte (Bum) you cannot really go far can you? He is probably at his level right now, fighting bums and dancing on social media. He was lucky with the Ruiz fight where he ran most of the time and got the hometown UD.

        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 don't have 10-12.

        He can beat most with another title, but AJ is the record setting heavy of this era.

            I think he peaked a few years ago, he will hang about the top 10 and maybe get another shot somewhere down the line but his best days are behind him

              Parker will retire from boxing sooner than expected, and do something else in his life. He has options, I believe.

                He has gone as far as he can he won't ever win a world title again. He was very lucky first time. He has done nothing since he lost to Whyte to make me think he will

                  I think he lacks power at the top level, I can’t see him picking up a real title, maybe an obscure one, isn’t Charr fighting for one soon?

                    I'd like to see him fight the winner of the Povetkin/Whyte rematch. Or a Ruiz rematch.

                      Something about pacific islanders it gets harder for them the older they get in terms of staying in shape, Parker is nearly out of his 20s now and I'm pretty sure the bulk is on its way
