Where to from here for Joe now ? I think people need to realise he’s probably reached his ceiling and just lacks that little something to really compete with the big boys ( literally and figuratively )
But then again this is hardly a golden age for heavyweight boxing, far from it. Much as I love Fury, Wilder and Joe himself I don’t think they’d be anything more than footnotes if they fought from the 70’s through til the 2000s.

Chisora took a huge amount of punishment. Possibly could’ve been stopped early. Most pundits ringside amazed it went the distance. Parker stepped up big time but room for improvement. Arguable if this can happen, but my feeling is he can with Andy Lee, who impressed me with his demeanour.

Shocking scorecards. Parker dominated from start to finish.

I seem to remember Fury himself saying something along those lines. Certainly wasn't backing himself to beat the historical greats.

Yeah he’s the best of his era and good on him but off the top of my head I don’t think he’d beat Liston, Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Holmes, Shavers, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe or any number of other pugilists from that era.

Very impressed with Joe today , chisora is a very tough man ,
Joe Planted his feet and let his hands go with bad intentions and we haven’t seen that for some time .
Andy Lee has worked wonders with him , tactically and with his confidence, looks a different fighter , well done

2 or 3 knockdowns and 1 judge had him winning by 2 points , fucken ludicrous

@kiwiinmelb Chisora won 3 rounds max (I had him winning 1). 117-108 was the best Chisora could have hoped for with competent judges.

Does he really though ? Like I said earlier I do love Joe but we’ve heard this a few times before lets be honest.
