Joseph Parker

[diehard]

Sham, you were singing a different tune before the fight. All the way from Meehan maybe can win this to using his experience to make Parker dig deep. None of those things happened. We can argue that Meehan was shot, that he didn't have the reaction time as when he was in his prime, but not that he was too old. Yes, he was gassed after the first round, but I think most fighters would be who are half his age from the punishment he took. Parker TOTALLY dismantled him.

I've always said that he needed to fight a top ten guy before (and your boy AJ too!) before he passed the test of being an elite fighter, but based on his performance against an aging former title contender, I'd put him up against anybody right now except for the four I mentioned.
