My guess is it could be Joey Abell. "Risky" because 29 of his 31 wins are by KO, and he's a spaw, but he's lost every time he's stepped up. He's fought a few top guys though like Fury and Pulev.

Could be right, Gothe. He's 34, so he's not going to Sham's retirement village right away, and he went to Germany to fight Pulev, and to England to fight Fury. Maybe he wants a vacation in Samoa, to fight Parker. He'd be all right.

I'm pretty sure Joey Abell dropped Pulev when they fought but I'd have to check though but with that being said JP will KO him no problem.

He did drop him, just saw the footage on youtube. Abell had 4 standing 8's all with body shots, and then had an RTD.

I've changed my mind, Abell would be a much better opponent! And easier to market having fought Fury, Pulev, Fres, and Chris Arreola

I think Tyson fury put Abell down about 4 or 5 times and he's not exactly known for his punching power. If it is Abell it's a total Mismatch.

Just saw a nice feature on TV3 on Inga the Winger and his son Bubba. Bubba fought in the fight for life a year or two ago, and looked good. He's now had 5 pro fights, and it would be good to get him on the Parker undercard in Samoa in January. Couple of Samoan fighters would also be good like the guy on the Super 8 who was undefeated last year. Can't remember his name, but he was like 21-0.
