Heavyweight Division

Got to agree with your post Die, I do believe Parker can make his way around some B grade fighters but seeing him move up to the elite section is a hard sell for me despite duco and Barrys blarney about Jo being the hardest sparring Klitsckho has faced in awhile

[diehard]

Didn't read anything about Parker being Klit's hardest sparring in awhile.  It's a wait and see proposition with Parker facing guys in the top 10.  Being a nice guy, and from NZ, I'm wishing him the best.  I like what Klit said in an article on another thread here.  He likes to face young, hungry heavyweights because it prepares him well.  It also gives him a peek of what's to come as he ages...

you think JP is strictly 'b' grade sham?

[shamrock]

Cali he hasn't proved it yet he's not. They are matching him with obscure opponents he can beat to build a resume, which is ok I guess but don't hype him so much unless a legit matchup is is on the table.

All good, Sham. The key word is "proven." Not saying he's not an A level fighter. Just hasn't proven it yet. His time will come, hopefully this year.

Sham, something for you to salivate over: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/08/sport/wladimir-klitschko-boxing-ukraine/index.html

Omg they are paying Wlad

[diehard]

Who's paying him? For what? You mean Parker has to pay Klit to spar with him? No way. Didn't read that in the article. What are you trying to say, Sham?

[shamrock]

It's so obvious Die, duco are paying Wlad to say nice things about baby Jo whom we all love and get excited about

[Calikiwi]

wlad must be down to his last 300 million.
