Why Parsons and Lawrence Have Beef
Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left.😈

Lawrence, who left the Cowboys this offseason, took a shot at his former team, saying:
“Dallas is my home… but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there. So, yeah… we here.”
Parsons wasted no time firing back, posting:
“This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown s*** 🤡.”
Lawrence later doubled down, responding:
“Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left.”
Why Parsons is Favored in a Boxing Match
Parsons has actively trained in boxing, working with coach Tony Mack and even sparring in professional gyms. He’s trained with world champion Errol Spence Jr. and has posted clips showcasing his hand speed and movement.
Statistically, Parsons also has the clear athletic advantage:
- Ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, significantly faster than Lawrence’s 4.80.
- Superior lateral quickness and agility, measured by his 6.89-second 3-cone drill.
- More explosive jump metrics, key for generating punching power.
While Lawrence is 20 kg (44 lbs) heavier, his lack of documented boxing training makes him a significant underdog.
Commentary
Nick Raffoul, Head of News at SportsCasting, explained the line:
“Parsons has real boxing experience and is one of the most explosive athletes in the NFL. We’re giving Lawrence a puncher’s chance, but in a six-round fight, Parsons should dominate.”
Whether the beef ever turns physical remains to be seen, but if it does, oddsmakers believe Parsons would win comfortably.
