    This 'slow', 'muscle bound' and 'tiring' Joshua against Takam lost 0 rounds.....

    Joseph 'incredible engine' and 'iron chin' Parker was getting outworked by Takam in 5/12 rounds.

    Based on what?

    Joshua:

    - Better Jab
    - Better punch variety
    - More power
    - Better engine
    - Better defence
    - Higher boxing IQ
    - More proven chin


    Parker v Takam showed Parker's level.

    This will be an easier fight than Takam for Joshua.....as Joshua has a full camp to prepare for Parker.

    The problem as I see it is that Parker has shown no ability to strike while not getting hit himself. Ruiz Jr and Takam were both able to easily land on Parker in exchanges. All good and well to say he needs to stay out of range early but very hard to master against the best in the world when you don't have a history of it.

    My dudes, Parker just about got past Ruiz Jr and Takam. I don't even know what to make of the Fury fight either. He's not all that

    Here's a picture of AJ from 2 days ago. He certainly looks leaner to me.

    He's got a world class team around him who will be analysing everything. He'll surely prepare differently than he did for Wlad and Pulev. And of course he's learning more about himself along the way. It's easy to forget he's only had 20 professional fights, and only a handful of those went more than a few rounds..

    People seem to expect Joshua will prepare with a camp like he's facing a Klitschko/Pulev type fighter.

    If Joshua can beat Takam whilst preparing for Pulev better than Parker can on a full camp.....

    I dread to think how easy Joshua will make it look.

    This exactly. tbh I don't rate Parker any better than Breazeale.

    Another case of national pride clouding the ability to subjectively assess the outcome of a fight. Parker will not see the end of rd 12.

    Parker is no better than Takam, he showed that in his fight against Takam.

    He has less power than Joshua and a worse engine.

    @Kiwi_in_America

    I've asked you this numerous times and you've never answered me....

    Why did Parker struggle with Takam?

    Did he?....

    A) Gas?

    B) Struggle with Takam's power?

    C) Reach his own level?

    D) Not have enough power?

    E) All of the above?

    Yes good to see, much less bulk/mass, more lean. Dude is intimidating as f*ck, no wonder Parker's mum is scared!
