Parker has the chin to beat Joshua, he can out last him....................this is possible, but that fight will be in he UK, with UK judges, referee, boxing commission!
You mean like when Parker fought Fury in a close fight and was robbed on UK soil by UK judges, referee and boxing commission, oh wait no Parker won in the UK.
Fury wasn't robbed man. If I owned the WBO, I'd be ashamed to have Hughie Fury as my champion. If you look and compare their hightlight reels, Parker is a champion that the WBO can be proud of on what he has achieved against opponents better than Furys. Fury on the other hand, gives runners/sissys/survivors a sorry excuse for lateral movement, boxers with no power, a hope that they can be a "heavyweight" champion. They wouldn't need to do much heavybag, just agility work in the ring.
I'm not convinced Parker can. I don't think Parker's stamina is any better than Joshua's and his work rate is usually slower than Joshua so all this talk of wearing AJ down and then pouncing isn't guna happen. He won't be dominating the rounds either which he would need to do to have any chance of getting the nod on the cards. I just don't see how Parker beats Joshua other than with a lucky damaging bomb that nobody saw coming
I wasn't saying Fury was robbed, I thought Parker won. I was being sarcastic saying that Parker came to the UK and wasn't robbed by UK officials, when Farmboxer insinuated this was going to happen if Parker fought Joshua. I hate all these cynical posts that this fighter will be robbed or that fighter will be robbed just because they are fighting outside of their own country.
I've been around sarcasim a lot and I struggle a little to recognise it when Im reading. I got you now, apologies.
I could see how my post could be misconstrued, it's hard to express sarcasm clearly when it's written, so no problem.
I just can't see it, personally. Parker reached his ceiling already and he isn't special IMO. A decent fighter who certainly looks to have some grit about him, but not much more
he needs to drastically improve that defense of his. Everyone hits him. Learn to slip better. Too late in the game to have him parry punches, but he needs to do something so every opponent has trouble landing.
Come on now, Hughie was like Ali that night, LIKE AAALLLLLIIIIIIIIII... Mick really believes that when he said it lol!!!
Well for sure Parker doesn’t gas like AJ,can’t say I remember any other top tier HW who gas’s like AJ,that said I remember against Whyte how he impressed me re his powers of recovery and again against Wlad,he seems to be able to fall back on his boxing skills and regain his stamina/composure. If I were in Parker’s camp that’s what I’d be telling him as a tired guy is one who can be knocked out or made to do a no mas,in between this though he’d have to avoid AJs heavy hands which is easier said than done. Parker hasn’t flattered of late but he’s a live dog for sure and one AJ can’t take lightly.
Only chance would be to jump on the inside bang the body and hop out and run for 30 seconds and repeat The only issue is that AJ is going to throw back. I think he can try to gas AJ but still at risk of getting hit clean by AJ I just can’t see him winning right now. He has a decent chin but you can only absorb so many power shots from AJ before you go into survival mode. AJ by late TKO if he can break him down or close decision if he has to chase him
