ENJOY!!

[lefty]

Took him 8 rounds which is pretty embarrassing. Bergman is pretty dire.

[world ranked]

Yeah this is enough talk about this Joseph Parker fellow. His performance against this Jason Bergman doesn't suggest that he's anything special. He has no special technique and he's not the biggest HW out there. Just because he's white and from New Zealand that doesn't mean that he's anything special either. Can someone please wake me up when this guy wins a really meaningful fight. Until then I don't want to hear his name mentioned again.

Fair point

[forestbox]

Needs a step up next

What dismal attitude to have.

Firs, did you watch this fight? Parker dominated from the get go.

Second, what special technique would you like him to use? The Five Finger Death Punch perhaps? He has fast hands and good power. He isn't the biggest Heavyweight out there...but who cares? The main questions on him are his stamina and chin.

Third, Lupesoliai La'auli Joseph Dennis Parker is not white. Again, have you ever even seen him?

People will continue to mention his name because he is a really impressive prospect. I disagree with those that think he will become the best Heavyweight, but I do think he will end up a top contender and has a really good chance at becoming a fractured titlist.

The only thing you got right is that it's time for him to step up. He needs someone above C level next time out.

He's is getting a lot of hype for someone who hasn't faced no one of note.

Yes he has been getting a lot of hype.

Why is that a bad thing? I swear boxing fans are the only ones that want everything swept under the rug until the last minute. Let Parker get hyped. It builds interest for when he finally does fight someone. Same with Anthony Joshua. Wilder took it too far, but has since began to prove himself nicely. He still needs a step up himself. Parker has looked good in every fight I've seen. He needs to step up in class, but why would we care about him stepping up if he had no hype? No one would even know him. Are you looking forward to when Nick Asberry or Senad Gashi steps up? Exactly.

Better to hush all the prospects up. Like I said, enjoy following the careers of Nick Asberyy and Senad Gashi then.

U know that there's prospects who actually beat someone of note?

U know that there's prospects who actually beat someone of note?

Yes I did know that. Did you know that sometimes guys who cut a swath through mediocre opposition early in their careers end up being pretty good?

Parkers resume isn't great, but he does have a former champion and title challenger on there. I agree he needs to step it up, and I still think its mildly retarted to want prospects kept out of the light til they absolutely prove themselves.

Parker has looked good so far. Really good, actually. We'll see if he carries it over against better competition. Of course we wouldn't even be following his career had he not gotten some hype early so....

That why you let the resume build as a PROSPECT before hyping with no substance behind it.

You don't know what prospect means, do you? A prospect is something possible in the future, in this case success in boxing. After a guys got a solid resume he's no longer a prospect, but a contender.

Active heavyweight prospects who are 24 years old or younger who have a better resume than Parker? Let's hear some names.

[wesshaw1985]

Fr@nk W@rren and B0xnati0n need to bring him over to the Uk and let him take on some of our boys.
Towers, Sexton, Sprott, Skelton, Cornish, Darch.
Gives him a bit more exposure in a new market...

I do think a fight in the UK would be a great idea, but I'd rather he fought someone that would move him along the rankings and test him a bit. Someone like Chisora or Whyte. There's such a huge gulf in the UK with Fury, Haye, and (at least so far) Joshua and then way below them is everyone else. Beating someone like Sprott, Skelton, or Darch does nothing for his career at this point except expose him to a few thousand watching live. Beating Chisora gives him a bigger name, and beating Whyte allows for comparison and eventual matching with Joshua.

Couldn't see him being matched straight away with Chisora, that's a pretty tough fight.
Whyte would be a nice fight to build to.
A Sexton or Towers would be a step up from Cornish, Sprott, Skelton and Darch.
It would be fun to see him fight over here...

I've never been high on Del Boy, think even now he's grossly overrated. But his style would make a fight with Parker an absolute MUST SEE fight. It would be all action. I agree with you on the rest.

[asdfjkl]

Disappointing performance, but won with KO anyway, there were more opponends he couldn't KO in the past, he's good, just not as good as Anthony Joshua for example.

I'd like to see him against Dillian Whyte when Whyte is 100% again.

Active heavyweight prospects who are 24 years old or younger who have a better resume than Parker? Let's hear some names.

Adrian Granat & Hughie fury better opponents with much less hype.

What a charlie you are, he has fought fantastic opposition for an 18-0 prospect, not many have fought better.

If you take Parker opponents vs Fury or Granat they have the same record Parker has but there's so much more hype for Parker beating lesser opponents. Parker has been on the West Virginia/Pennsylvania Club circuit his past few fights and he's from New Zealand. He fought more guys from that area than guys from the US. I'm not saying he's a bum or anything but the hype isn't merited based on opponents. You call me an idiot but it took you two tried to respond correctly and you still messed up so who's the proper idiot next time get ur response correct champ.

Because he has looked very promising and has shown real fight ending power, which we all like. I haven't watched this particular fight but the kid has looked good up to now. Entertaining fighter.

at him being 'white'. Brilliant.
