    Default Rate Parker.

    How do you rate Parker?

    I think he's the weakest titleholder in the HW division. I think any fighter with good footwork is going to give him problems.

    He's a decent power puncher who hasn't been tested to the chin all that much, footwork might give him trouble, but I think a solid jab could do the same thing. He could be a weak title holder, but hell so could Deontay Wilder.

    I don't think anybody looks as manufactured as Parker. AJ critics will say "what about him?" But I just think that it doesn't even have to be someone with good feet. Somebody with good ring IQ would have an easy night against Parker.
    He is the weakest champ, but it says something about the state of the HW Division that:
    a. He is a World Champion, and
    b. He doesn't look totally out of place.

    If anything his progress has stalled and he hasn't improved. Parker has trouble with both pressure and movement. His footwork is shoddy and that head is pretty stationary. In saying that the division is full of guys who are vulnerable and could lose to each other on any given night.

    He’s below Wilder and AJ but above everyone else. Povetkin and Ortiz are both drug cheats so I can’t put them above Parker even though they’d both probably beat him.

    I do not rate him at all. Parker would be irrelevant if he did not have the belt. He looks worse each time he fights. He should stay in New Zealand and defend his titles against nobodies.

    Parker's lucky the HW division is in the shape it's in. He'd never win a title in the 90s or 2000s.

    The Haye/ Bellew winner has been mentioned as a possible future opponent so he may be taking your advice.

    Completely hypocritical c9mpared to what you've said recently. But you're getting it. A guy should be rated by their ability and what they've done. A crap fighter should be rated as such.

    If those bums beat him then you know Parker is 3rd division

    Yep the division is pretty mediocre.

    That's what I mean, they're all pretty vulnerable.

    he's a poor world champion
    he's better than the majority of people in the division
    he shows how poor the heavyweight division is

    Parker is a nice guy.

    That's his best attribute.

    Joshua beats him.
    Wilder beats him.
    Fury beats him.
    Ortiz beats him.
    Pulev beats him.
    Haye beats him.
    Chisora and Dillian whyte...?

    Do Chisora and Whyte deserve another title shot?
