Im not so sure about this. I can see Hughie having the ability to outbox him, if they slug it out Parker has this no doubt but I dont think Fury will willingly engage in toe to toe action which means Parker will have to do the work to do the damage and the last couple of fights where the standard of oppositon has raised he hasnt looked really savvy in the ring and i think Fury is the best Boxer he will of faced. Not saying i favour Fury im just not ready to throw any money on Parker. He should do it, hes favoured to do it but this isnt a given as far as im concerned this is guna be a close fight.
Well I think this will be a close and even fight. Hughie has bags of talent and will turn up in the best shape we have have ever seen him in. Parker is a good fighter as well. He has faced better opposition than Joshua has as a professional imo.
I've started to favour Parker in this one too. Was fuming at this thread in first before I recalled that Parker isn't fighting Tyson
Hughie IMO doesn't have too good of opponents when compared to Parkers, but that doesn't really matter come fight night.
Yeah absolutely and thats a good point. Its defintely more a step up for Fury and you see that when you watch his opponents abilities and you compare that to Joes, theres a big difference there. I hope Fury puts on a good performance and so does Joe because that will improve Joes boxing and only make him look good when he gets the knockout.
tyson did squat to deserve his shot either. unless ducking every threat on the way up is now a talent.
I give Parker the edge, but do not underestimate Fury. Hughie was a very good boxer before he got sick.............has Fury recovered?
Parker met Deontay Wilder backstage a couple months ago. He couldn't stop trembling and was scared of the bronze bomber when they stood face to face. Joseph will surrender his WBO title belt to Deontay after he gets past Fury. So the fight is irrelevant.
No way can I see Parker knocking him out, this has points all over it. Should be a good fight, Parker is building up a good resume.
