JWP should be in the Australian Sports Hall of Fame.
Let's start a partition !
The government should also finance his Gyms as a community Health & Well Being facility and Service.
JWP absolute Aussie Legend
No better sportsman for kids to look upon !
JWP is an absolute LEGEND - a living legend. There should be statues of him in every Aussie city. He lived a life straight from a Hollywood movie.
JWP what a legend both in the ring and out. You won't meet too many other men as good as him.
JWP has an amazing life story. It should be made into a movie. Such a great guy. Brilliant podcast.
Blessed with venom is a good doc about him..
JWP is on jo Rogan they did two episodes and they were unreal
JWP One of Australia's greatest
That hour felt like 20 minutes. What a truly enthusiastic and genuine character JWP. Great interview 😊
Such a nice humble guy who is one of the toughest fighters Australia has ever produced. Hats of to you 👏 the young generation needs to take a leaf from this gentleman's book !
JWP so underrated, especially in Australia. Cracking interview
Most definitely "One of the most infectiously likable people I've ever heard" Your passion for the sport & appreciation for all you experienced, not only could we hear in your voice as you told your story , it showed as you smiled with your whole face. What a wonderful interview & contagious smile.
JWP is the most
Honourable
Humble
Real
Bloke you could meet ❤
awesome John wayne Parr remember him in the early 90's ,respect bro
Trained a few weeks with JWP in Gold Coast, legend of a guy. So calm and chill. One of the nicest people I've met.
thats pretty legendary to train with someone like him
Purpose over status ! Australians need to get back to purpose and our productivity will lift and then confidence with a stronger identity
What a legend and what an amazing podcast - one of the best!
JWP is an absolute legend in and outside the ring.
jwp legend love from 🇯🇵❤
What an Aussie legand!! Such a shame he wasn’t more well known..
I think in the last 5-10 years he has become a bit more known but still not to the level he deserved..
The best fighter this country has ever produced in my opinion..
Great exponent of Muay Thai. He is exactly like that in person. Always has a chat, always got time for a pic. One of my most prized images is the day I met the Gunslinger.
JWP whilst he may not want it, deserves a lot more publicity in this country than he gets. In a world where children look up to athletes, JWP is the man many children should look up to. A true humble champion who is also so beautifully violent at the same time.
Humble dude man💯🎖️
How could you not like this bloke, such an interesting story, a great Australian
Absolute gentleman, my Mrs trains at boonchoo and JWP is a proper gentleman.
Is she hot
proper champion... makes you wonder what would of became of him if UFC was around when he was at his peak.....
Two true gentleman
JWP Ozzy Combat Icon. Carries himself like a true warrior.
Yet another top quality interview. Every young man should watch this and take note. Jw is an aussie legend.
Watching you being interviewed is almost as infectious watching you fight MR GUNSLINGER! Don't forget to send me your signed autobiog book when it comes out JWP. Love your work mate.
Very humble. Respect
Far out that was a great interview.
JWP getting al the praise.. your a champ to Mark.. 2 Aussie legands having a chat..👍

Can we get a Freeze Frame of JWP’s reaction when you call it “Moo Thai”?!🤣
Amazing human being
one of the greats 🔥🔥🔥
Great interview Mark!
JWP has been on jo Rogan podcast twice both episodes are unreal
I hesitated to listen, but really enjoyed it.
That was an awesome interview! Brought back heaps of memories!😎👌👍👊
Funny he said that about stoping saying gday to people and letting them get a photo. JWP did that for me. Iv kept that photo he was a really nice humble bloke. A couple of my Muay Thai mates know him and say he is a top bloke. Good on him. Great interview choke dee!
