Notes: During discussions about Parker vs Wardley, there was a mention of how unfair it was for Fabio Wardley during his white-collar boxing days. Despite lacking current training, Wardley possesses remarkable natural abilities. Now, he stands out as the second-best active heavyweight in the sport.
While I haven’t significantly lowered Parker’s standing due to a controversial stoppage, it’s also because he showcased his resilience and skill during a compelling match. He has been a solid heavyweight for years. It’s important to recognize that losing in high-stakes fights shouldn’t greatly diminish a fighter’s respect or perception; competitive fights are essential for boxing.
Wardley’s talents are noteworthy. I can’t definitively label him “elite” in the traditional sense, but from a technical perspective, he qualifies. Among the estimated 1,584 active heavyweights on BoxRec, he should rank somewhere around second or third, depending on your view of Kabayel’s position.
Wardley’s impressive power, unorthodox fighting style, speed, and mental toughness are evident when you watch him. His recent performance against Parker showcased his improvement since fighting Justis Huni. He is becoming a formidable contender in the ring.
