It doesn't make any sense for these two prospects to meet right now, but if they did whom would you pick?
Jo has been hit a couple of times and took it well - most Samoans have a great chin. He's also pummeled "The Tank" for 12 rounds, so he has stamina. Haven't seen AJ get hit yet, and he's never been far, so don't know. Both fast, powerful, big and athletic. AJ might be favourite, but I wouldn't bet ANY money on this fight.

It wouldn't make economic sense, a year or two down the line with both still unbeaten and one holding strap it would be a monster fight. I like both , but Parker appears a bit more fluid to me and has shown he can take a whack,unfortunately he has been cut once, I hope that doesn't become a problem.
The cut was a number of fights ago, no hints of issue since. Parker's trainer says not at this point and I think that's smart, for both of them. I've said it a few times, I'd not bet either way and don't want it to happen until BOTH have dialled their skills and experience in a bit more but would be huge.
Joshua's comp has been more impressive to this point, though a win over Tupou would make it closer. Joshua seems to have more natural attributes than Parker too, size, power, agility. Defense and chin are my only questions about it, but right now it would only be fair to make Joshua a solid favorite.
