    I think similar to Chisora's role. Very similar level.

    Rematch vs Joshua. Wide points/late stoppage loss
    Rematch vs Whyte. Close points loss, though winable
    Vs Wilder. Knocked out
    Vs Fury. Wide points/late stoppage loss
    Vs Povetkin. Close points win(style-wise an aging Povetkin is a good chance for him)
    Vs Joe Joyce. (close points loss, but more competitive than people may think right now - winable.
    Vs Usyk. Close points loss - winable
    Vs Luis Ortiz. Close points loss - winable

      Seems like a nice guy, has good skills and an excellent chin. Already has a marquee win in a close decision over Ruiz Jr. After the close loss to Whyte I was in no doubt that they'd have a rematch later in their careers and I'm still of the the same opinion. I think Parker is the type of guy that would get in the ring with any of the top guys if the deal was right for him. Also has a country (albeit small population) behind him. I can see him picking up a vacant title once they inevitably get splintered.

      He isn't beating AJ or Fury. I can see him boxing well against Wilder before being clipped, maybe he could eek out a decision however as he does have a very good chin. Usyk would struggle against him but I think would get the decision.

      Wilder, Usyk, Ruiz Jr II, Povetkin, Whyte II, Ortiz, Hunter, Joyce, Yoka, Hrgovic.

      That's 10 fights right there outside of the current title-holders that I'd be interested in Parker taking and he has a chance at winning all of them. If he can get most of those fights with most of them going his way then he'd be remembered as the 'best of the rest' of this era behind Fury, AJ and Wilder.

          Crazy, Parker is about the same age as Hrgovic. Parker was a world champ, he was in big money fights, Hrgovic is hyped based on fighting bums.
