Although went the distance against Klitschko, he looked very average for most of the fight.
He's 36 yrs old and is only getting slower. Although a clever fighter I think Parker would be too fast for him.
The Parker vs Meehan fight comes to mind!!
Sorry but I have to disagree entirely.
He knocked Takam spark out, and that was a younger Takam who to my eye looked much better than the one Parker fought, coming off his career best run against Perez and Thompson
Povetkin has a very solid layer of wins including Perez, Chambers, and a few others.
He did ok against Wlad, bought the fight to him but Klitschko is incredibly physically strong and used ideal tactics at close range, those are tactics Parker is not capable of using.
I simply can't compare any version of Meehan to any version of Povetkin, least of all the 45 year old one Parker fought.
I have Povetkin knocking Joe out in 8 rounds.
Not bashing you mate but it's a very unusual viewpoint you have there.
