The dude is also in his mid 40's and has taken a lot of shots over the years. I wouldn't even consider him a stepping stone at this stage.

Even the poster "TheWhiteBuffalo" may finally start singing a different tune.

That last fight that he lost to Sonny Bill Williams was a farce. He actually should have won it, the fight got shortened during the middle of the fight when he had the guy in trouble!

He doesn't look the biggest of guys physically, but maybe that's a good thing, what with all these big hunks of muscle or fat dominating the division. Maybe a slim heavyweight with speed, skill and composure is what we need.

Thanks for backing me up here Black. Look I'm not about to anoint Parker as the next big thing just yet, but he has decent size, good power and really fast hands.

I agree he did look composed in there last night and is only young. They will be looking to build him up size wise over the next 18-24 months.

One of the better young HW's I've seen in a while.
