Joseph Parker vs. Lucas Browne

[buster007]

would parker hunt for lucas if he beats minto?

[SouthPacificBXR]

Browne's got some power behind his punches but damn he's got technique at all.
Heck he's not even up to Alex Leapai's level yet

If Browne actually got a title shot with Wlad then I call dibs that he
wouldn't last as long as Leapai did for real. Browne's not a quality fighter
and he's over hyped with only so little to offer the heavyweight division.

Parker on the other hand has a lot in his arsenal, he's quick and works more
than Browne does in the ring. There's a difference between brawler and boxer
and personally Browne's unfortunately just a brawler.

Parker is a very good up and coming boxer but hes not in the same class as Lucas Brown.The best fighter Parker has fought is the guy he fought in Germany. Browne has fought a better class of fighter. Browne got put on his ass in one fight got back up and finished the fight off with a win by ko if I remember rite.If Browne laids one on you it will change the hole fight. Let wait and see how parker goes once he gets hit clean. If you who are on the Parker band wagon think your doing him any good well your not. Just let the kid mature slowly hes got plenty of time
( hes only 22 ) he may end up a world champ living in Australia and then we Aussies will claim him as our Aussie Champ just like Kali Meehan Phar Lap Russell Crow And Pavilova We have seen to many fighters pushed to early and they end up lost to the sport.

Impressive resume for "just a brawler", hey mate? He's just an over hyped fighter of no quality? really? Explain to us all here how he's managed to over come every obstacle placed in front of him, please?!
Do you really think Lucas Browne would freeze in the face of of a Klitscho like Leapai so embarrassingly did? Is Browne not yet up to Leapei's level? Really?
You, sir, are an arseclown, nothing more!

[colin russell]

Well said

[buster007]

every other klit challenger sh-t themselves after a mere 60 seconds, I see no reason why lucas would be any different. lucas would simply have zero answers to deal with wlads level. its crazy to even think about really. and lucas himself knows that.

impressive resume?

c'mon, lets not get silly now.

he has beaten a couple of limited fighters, that's it. the rest were bums, that's a fact.

walker was a good win but he was clearly not prepared when he turned up. toney was a 67yo blimp. towers was all hype and lucas' recent opponent was 24-0, but his resume was full of bums too, so it was a good win but don't pretend he was anywhere near a top 10 challenge.

lucas is going along good but should avoid any of the top fighters unless he gets a huge payday from it, cause I think he will struggle to win.

he can make a good living facing the fringe guys for a few years and retire with his health intact imo.

good luck to him whoever he faces, he seems like a true gentleman.

[polecateddy]

Browne would have to beat Leapai to become regarded as the best Aussie heavyweight. I wouldn't bet against Alex to find the punches to finish Browne.

[colin russell]

The subject is Parker V Browne not Browne V Klit let not get ahead of ourselves.

You make some good points about Browne.

He has very little head movement and had been very easy to hit by his level of opposition so far. As likeable as he is and as watchable as his style has been it's going to be a problem when he steps it up further.

If you're so optimistic about this Browne guy,
why don't you give us some positive feedback about Browne to prove me wrong
instead of resorting to personal insults that just make you look more like one of
them Browne groupies he's got tucked under his flabs.

You can't possibly deny the fact that Browne has an average defense, sloppy footwork
and almost nil head movements. And you can't compare his slow (arm strength) throws
to Alex Leapai's fast (body strength) over-arms.

He's just a brawler - and if you're offended by true feedback, then this place isn't for you.

[colin russell]

Parker V Browne is the subject you southpacific have done a complete turn around now your on about Brownes limited boxing skills Then your on about personal insults what do you call saying tuck under his flabs, maybe you should take a look in the mirror.

You should learn how to read properly.
Personal insults only came into play when one of you Browne groupies started playing up.
If you wanna argue about who's flabby and who's an assclown then be my guest.
But I'm only talking boxing here - not too sure why you folks wanna start something?
I've only given real feedback on this topic, where as you lot have only given disapproval
for comments like mine where I'm pointing out Browne's flaws.

Is there anything on this subject you can contribute besides trying to insult people?

[MattKnight]

Funny. I don't think I've ever heard a Brit refer to himself as European. They don't even use the same currency. I'll bet there aren't too many frenchmen who'd think of les anglais as fellow Europeans either. :)

they don't use the same currency is a brilliantly funny argument.
of course british people are european.

now...i'm off to China in the morning, I've not bothered with their money because i got better exchange rate on Indian Rupees. same continent so surely I can spend them there.

[colin russell]

My Dad once told me if you argue with an idiot or a women you will never win, because even if your rite they will never admite your rite and the women will still be a women and the idiot will still be an idiot and That's you South Pacific

[buster007]

if u give an honest assessment of browne, the huggers like colin, pounce, lol.

c'mon colin, even lucas is well aware of his flaws. he won't say it publically, and he doesn't need to, but he knows he has limits.

doesn't mean I won't cheer for him though.

[colin russell]

So true Big Daddy has his flaws but you tell me a fighter that doesn't.

[buster007]

no need to give a gobfull when someone suggests what his flaws r.

[SouthPacificBXR]

So true Big Daddy has his flaws but you tell me a fighter that doesn't.

Every fighter has their flaws - but the topic of discussion is about Parker v Browne.
Not about assclowns or idiots and women etc.

It's not my fault if you don't know how to accept real personal feedback.
I've yet to read something positive about Browne come from you.
But since you're an idiot - you wouldn't know how to compare both fighters.

I'm only pointing out Browne's flaws cos compared to Parkers, he wouldn't win unless it's a KO.
Parkers too fast, technical and smart for the likes of Browne.
This is my personal opinion - people like you don't have to agree.
But in saying that, I would like to know WHY you disagree, WHAT'S YOUR opinion?
Cos after all this IS an open forum of discussion, but you've yet to even bring forth
some sort of feedback in regards to your grandfather Browne.

[SouthPacificBXR]

My Dad once told me if you argue with an idiot or a women you will never win, because even if your rite they will never admite your rite and the women will still be a women and the idiot will still be an idiot and That's you South Pacific

Your dad should've taught you how to spell as well..."idiot"

1 - "right" > "rite"
2 - "admit" > "admite"
3 - "you're" > "your"

KO!

[Rhiguar15]

No comparison. Browne. Simply for the experience and power and parker has been going against guys who look like they've only fought in the bar lol but maybe oneday.

[buster007]

fighting mostly bums is praised huh?

ok, sure.

he is going along nicely, but don't get carried away.

he has beaten a couple of handy fighters, that's it.

[jehu]

Parker beats browne UD more then likely, I think hes got more then enough power to ko lucus and by

the time parker has 20 fights his resume will be better then lucaus. Hes been match hard and fast and

has big money behind him, not saying lucus has been fed on bums or anything but hes only just started

to step it up in the last couple years. Parkers only been round a couple years and hes already starting

to get into the same type of competetion as lucus.

[Like a Boss]

It would sure make for a good fight but Browne is aiming at winning a world title and fighting Parker won't assist him in that quest.

[Lith]

Parker is a very good up and coming boxer but hes not in the same class as Lucas Brown.The best fighter Parker has fought is the guy he fought in Germany. Browne has fought a better class of fighter. Browne got put on his ass in one fight got back up and finished the fight off with a win by ko if I remember rite.If Browne laids one on you it will change the hole fight. Let wait and see how parker goes once he gets hit clean. If you who are on the Parker band wagon think your doing him any good well your not. Just let the kid mature slowly hes got plenty of time

So now Parker has knocked out Minto, and dominated Sherman Williams, has showed a lot of growth (still work to do, but) and his average standard of fighter is arguably higher than Browne's. Parker still hasn't landed on his bum, but has now worn a couple of solid shots from solid shooters - and has shaken it off and got back into the plan. Only 11 fights, but already fighting very experienced durable and potentially dangerous fighters... they are calling out Browne quite fiercely now too.

Do people have any revised or new thoughts on this now potential match up?

I think this has a lot of potential, imho anyone who says it's an easy win one way or another may be underestimating the other. I think Parker is probably better rounded for it, I feel for Browne to win it'd have to be a KO - Parker has already proved to have a reasonable chin on it so it may prove to be trickier than landing a good shot.
Thoughts?

[Lairdy]

Just having a browse through the topics. Parker would wipe the floor with Browne! Browne is over-rated in my opinion!
