Joseph Parker

[diehard]

Whyte is ranked WBO #8. To me, he's similar to Jarrell Miller, who is in the WBO top 5. But I think Joe needs to go to the UK where there is more money available, both for his next fight and his profile if he ends up fighting AJ.

Meanwhile, Wilder wants some of Parker:

But wilder is saying he wants to take parkers belt next

Wilder doesn't really make sense for Joe at the moment. Too much risk and too little money

I like the Whyte fight. Whyte isn't afraid to open up, leaving himself open for some returning fire.

Whyte will hype the fight as well.

So Hughie is out until his drug charges are cleared up? Thats pretty shit. He's either guilty or not, they need to sort it out

[diehard]

Yeah, I like the Whyte fight. Will make Parker dig deep. I think he's better than Takam and Ruiz, but similar in styles.

[Infern0]

Questionable if whyte is better than those two imo.

Would be interesting but i see it as quite a safe fight for joe, hes comfortable on the back foot so long as the opponent doesnt bring relentless pressure and whyte wont

[diehard]

All same level (Whyte, Ruiz, Takam), but I take Whyte based on his aggression. The Chisora fight convinced me.

Whyte is a great opponent for Parker. Not sure he's better than Takam or Ruiz, but he's proven at a certain level, has a decent chin, tonnes of heart, and is a great talker.
I'd like to think Parker will knock him out, because the judging in the UK can be pretty damn shocking at times.

Fight with Parker and Whyte favors Whyte in my opinion after Chisora for Whyte and Razvan for Parker. I don't buy the excuse the duco split had anything to do with Parkers poor performance.  The Romanian spoilt the evening and exposed Parkers limitations. .
