    That's actually a good win for Parker.

    Stylistically Parker is all wrong for AJ, and he's the one being really underrated here.

    I believe Joshua wins but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Parker knocked Joshua out.

    Joshua's offence is very good but I'm still not sold on that defence and especially that chin.

    In one word. Yes, a lot of trouble in fact. Considering how badly Wlad struggled against Bryant Jennings. Luis Ortiz beat Jennings must easier than Wlad did. People have to keep in the mind the caliber of fighters Wlad beat in his career were either too small, prime example David Haye or they just weren't very good, too many to name.

    Having said that AJ will beat Parker.

    Good post,I’m an AJ fan but o wouldn’t claim he’s under rated and if anything he’s over rated.
    Parker has a chance just as Buster Douglas did against Tyson infact even more so as Parker is highly ranked though for obvious reasons Joshua is the big favourite on account of him looking so much better with each fight,Dillaian Whyte found out that he’s not the same guy as he was in the amateurs.

    You guys are funny. Y'all kill me with "Did you see X fighter get knocked out in the amateurs 7 years ago?" As if that is some how relevant to a professional fighter.

    As far as Joshua go I don't even know how people bring out the fact he was knocked out in the amateurs. He showed in the Wlad and even the Whyte fight he can take quite a bit of punishment and keep going. Can Joshua be knocked out? Yeah, but so can anybody whether they were knocked out in the amateurs or not.

    At this moment Joshua is the number 1 fighter in the division.

    I don't think Parker lasts beyond 7 rounds.

    There's a few interesting threads on here from a few months back about AJ and steroids. He does have the hallmarks of a HGH gut but no-one knows for sure. Difficult to know who to believe.

    As for the racism thing though - that was 100% genuine. It came from Joshua's own Instagram account and was not faked. There's also his interesting snapchats including apparent support for Mugabe and showing his own mother videos of some black supremacist speaker. Very odd thing to do from a marketing point of view but I believe he's showing his true colours.

    Parker will struggle to land that jab with those little T-Rex arms of his.

    I expect AJ to win this fight, but Parker is clearly level above Whyte or Breaseale, and even slightly better than Takam.

    Green Parker beat Takam in a very close fight, that was his 1st serious opponent. Since then Parker also added two good names to his resume: Andy Ruiz jr and H Fury, he's more matured and experieced now.

    AJ better come at 245 as he didn't look as good and sharp vs Takam as he was in his fight vs Wlad. Slower and easier to hit.

    Realistically AJ has better result against common opponent (if not the BS stoppage, AJ would've won 11-1 on cards, while Parker took 7, maybe 8 rounds vs Takam). But that doesn't mean too much as we know.

    Both are competent boxers, but AJ has size and power on his side, that's why I pick him.

    Joshua looked horrible vs Takam, let's be honest. Swinging mostly at fresh air, blowing air out his ass. If Takam had any pop he'd have knocked him out. You hit Joshua and his tank empties. Parker can get to him, no doubt at all.
