Parker said in the interviews afterwards that he'd fight anyone and I believe it.
Very dodgy if what you say is accurate.

Despite not being the best boxer in his family he still had a magnificent career.
If he has a serious fight who knows ?
If he has a ‘don’t knock out Jake Paul or you won’t get paid’ fight then he’s no chance
hard to imagine it going super well , when Fury and AJ beat him , people defending him said but Klitschko was well past his best
that was 10 years ago.
If it helps, they might now be well past their best as well. And both brothers have PhDs in sports science so he might have managed to keep himself in reasonable condition.
I see it differently, they were too young and hungry for him 10 years ago and now they aren’t the top of the pecking order anymore because they have aged as well , just shows how long ago his best was
Maybe a fury Klitschko rematch would generate some interest and make them a lot of money but I’d be keeping him away from the next generation of younger big hitting hungry heavyweights.
Yeah I agree with you, it isn't worth it. Just saying they should be in ok condition even if they don't retain the power that Foreman retained.

Worth noting he knocked out Carlos Taken who Parker could only get a decision against, then again that was "young" Parker who has improved out of sight since then.
A (rare?) example of Fern advice being proven right (ditching Barry that is)...

Up there with the time I predicted on here that Tua would knock out Cameron in the 2nd.

I hope you got a discount for all that dining out!

I think this is the first time I’ve mentioned it this year to be fair and we’re well into February

Let's be honest, Parker should have put away Bakole who only just turned up to Saudi a few hours before the fight. I didn't realise that Bakole literally got dragged off the couch.
Dubois can have Usyk again, Parker can fight Kabayel.

Parker fight coming right up.
Winston Peters in the crowd right next to Frank Warren. Outstanding
Lol that is random.

Joe couldn’t do anymore with the situation he was dealt with really,
He was presented with a few names and picked the best fighter to keep the card alive , it was a banana skin scenario all the same given bakoles heavy hands and preparing for a different opponent, particularly if he gets little credit for winning.
How good was Bivol ?
