I’d never heard of him, time is not on his side aged 35 but 21-0 (20kos) at cruiserweight with 17 KOs in the first round so maybe fun to keep an eye on.

Re: Big punching CW prospect Craig Parker
From record scanning along he looks undersized and just scraped past a 7-7 guy.
Seems primed to be fed to someone. A Pat brown type (although it appears Pat brown is already past this type of thing)…

Yeah I’m not saying he’s the next big thing but big punchers always fun to watch.

sounds like bs to me tbhControversial wrote: ↑23 Jan 2026, 08:22 According to an article on Parker he was undefeated as an amateur and won all them all by KO

any time you hear a massive ko record like that in the ams it raises a red flag
look at guys with verified am records, you will pretty much never see that high of a stoppage rate. even at/above 50 percent is rare.
but if parker gets his record looking pretty enough (superficially), maybe someone will bite and bring him in to get ko'd.
tbh, it is fun to track these guys to see when they eventually get beat up. i remember tyrone brunson making some waves with his 1st round ko record. brunson could actually fight a bit, but not to the degree that record may have suggested to the uninitaited eye
