At this point team Joshua should forget Higgins and his awful tactics and announce a tune up Fujimoto fight and award him 35% of what will be FAR less than a Parker 35% and wait on Wilder in the summer,...............
Nothing will please me more than watching that arrogant goody to shoes bodybuilder Joshua, reduced to a crumpled heap on the canvas. Unfortunately Parker don't have the tools to do it. Only the bronze bomber can get the job done.
Of course I will watch it. all the "my jaw is better than your jaw" stuff coming from Parker is what will e put to the true litmus test. I find it very hard to get excited when all i have evr seen from parker is a good straight down the middle one two with the odd body shot against guys who are perfect targets for his biggest strengths. His fight with Fury showed he can't cut off the ring. He doesn't box well. He doesn't go forward well. he certainly does not box off the backfoot well. He has a good punch but not a great punch. He has a good Jaw, and we will see if it's a great Jaw when he faces a fighter with a known power punch. If he beats AJ I will be very surprised. Losing one fight won't do him ant harm. But it will bring AJ down bigtime. I am not in love with AJ either. But he won every round against Takam and i think it was an unfair stoppage all the same, but it was obvious that Takam was not going to get lucky by landing a lucky punch was he? Parker lost rounds to him and won a close fight. Against Ruiz? many still think Ruiz won that fight. The bottom line is that I think Parker will be lucky to land many of his power punches on AJ.
Joshua looked like a big bum crumpled on the canvas from a 41 year old wlad. Any young heavyweight has a chance
This is SOOOOO true, Parker was taking punches directly from Hughie whose nick name should be Jack Hammer Fury while Joshua was taking shots by overrated puncher Klitchko !
Until he faces a proven power puncher his chins remains int "good" basket" if he eats up big punches, and handles them well, only then can he be heralded as having an "excellent" chin dont you think? and on that note, if he cant hurt Joshua with his punches, will it mean that he isnt a true power puncher? The answer will have to be yes wont it? since he has been saying that AJs chin is glass. Im telling you now, and lets be clear about this.....Parker has only a 20% chance of beating AJ. He wont out power him, he wont out fitness him- esp since Parker shows the same ability to gas out just like AJ seems to sometimes, so he has maybe a punchers chance against a proven puncher who can move far better than he does.
it's not how you go down, it's how you get back up that really counts. Wlad had his best fight in years and got his spark knocked out by a determined young fighter. Wlad never looked or acted like an old man in the slightest, so what are you bringing his age up for? Wlad was far better equipped than a young Parker will be when, and if this fight gets made.
Hughie track star Fury landed Zeeerow On Parker of note. Parker eventually was reduced to chasing him around the ring because the phaggot ran like a thief, and thought he could steal his belt without fighting like a man and winning it fair and square. Make no mistake, Parker or Povetkin represents the two greatest proven challengers that AJ could face.
