Joshua is 6'5.75'' according to celebheights. Also noticebly taller than Klitschko in who is listed at 6'5.25" on the same site. David Haye is 6'2" and Parker just edged him by no more than 1 inch at the very best. Thus 6'3" at best. 6'2.5-75" is my best guess.
They are yeah. Joshua should be 1/20. But money is going on Parker so he’s shortening. Come fight night I’ll throw my house on AJ if he’s close to 1/3 or 2/7.
Smack - this has been debated long and hard with photos, etc. Believe it. Parker is 6'4". Long proven. End of discussion.
There's probably at least 6 heavyweights I rate higher than Parker, and that don't include the bodybuilder Joshua . Just a few mentioned here I think ( Ortiz, Povetkin, Wilder, Ruiz Jr, Jarrel Miller, and Pulev. ) Joseph was beaten pillar to post by one of them already . And I'm sure the others would do a number on this pretender holding that Wbo belt hostage. There's even controversy if you wanna add Hughie Fury to the list too.
Just too many close fights with Parker, with lower level guys. Too many disputed performances for my liking. Could use the Takam fights as a argument. But the bodybuilder was training for the Arnold Classic when he fought Carlos. And was bulked up too much. Parker will be dealing with a much lighter Joshua, he's in trouble if he can't hurt him.
I put a ton on Parker when he was 8 to 1. For no other reason than that's crazy odds for a decent fighter coming up against a dude with a glass jaw, no head movement and dog crap stamina.
lmao.. if your talking about ruiz jr? he didn't beat parker from pillar to post it was a close fight.. and could of went 7-5 to either guy...
Dimitrenko was awful Takam was a decent fight, which Parker edged. Wasn't massively convincing, particularly in the 5th round where he looked to have gassed but recovered well to win. Meehan was 45 when he fought Parker and hadn't beaten anyone of note. I get you want your countryman to do well, but Joshua is rightly the big favourite for this fight.
Just compare AJ to both Pulev and Parker. That is how a 6'4" guy should look beside AJ. Almost every fighter exaggerate their height. Ortiz was labeled at 6'4" before his fight with Wilder. Then he was measured at 6'3" before the fight. Everyone could see it already during the faceoff. The same aplies here. Parker is small compared to Joshua and it will become depressively obvious on fight night... There is a reason why super heavyweights dominates the modern era.
