I agree. I don't think Parker could have advanced this far if not for Izu training and sparring with him. And he gets crap opponents. I think that KB realises what he's done, and from his interview last nite, he's going to feature Izu in the US and in Poland against much better opposition. He said he was fooled by the Ghanian last nite, that he thought he was better. Everyone says Parker is ahead of Izu in his development. Maybe so, but how would you know? He's faced nobody. He's got the build, reach, speed, power, and boxing skills to go far. He was matched well against Julius Long several fights, but since then it's been Quarrie and the Ghanian.
