No Sham, you said Joe was a hype job orchestrated by Duco. Something about "I told you so" when he loses. I said that at 7 to 1 odds I'd put money on Tupou, but I don't bet against Kiwi's. True, Browne ALSO needs to put his money where his mouth is.
I've always maintained that Joe hasn't arrived until he beats a top ten guy. Same with Joshua. BUT, Tupou is close enough for a top ten guy for me at WBO #13. I do think that Parker will stop him, but I can also see Tupou catching him in the middle rounds. Definitely not a fight with 7 to 1 odds.
Molina would be a good opponent. So would Meehan and Leapai. All these guys are scary to me until Parker beats them. I just don't know how good Parker is, or isn't, until he beats a top ten guy. And I DO think Duco and KB are matching him well.
