I've said before that there's no evidence that Joshua is a real big puncher. Stopping a host of bum Heavyweights with ref stoppages doesn't mean ****. Joshua couldn't come close to stopping Takam legitimately and powder puff punching Chisora nearly killed him with one punch.
Snap! Just made same comment. And it is not like AJ didn't have all the chances in the world. He legitely tried... but you know AJ fans they be like "Headbut affected his breathing which affected the oxygen level in his blood which made his balls shrink so he couldn't get aggressive enough for Takam"
Bizarre that you don't seem to have read the article you shared. Quote from Parker in that very article: “Joshua didn’t land any heavy blows so I’ll be on Dillian’s side. He was the harder hitter.” I don't know how it can be much clearer. Parker said that Joshua didn't land ANY heavy blows on him.. I can't tell if you just didn't get past the headline of the article before shooting your load and sharing it on here. Or if you really are in the propaganda game..
I'll leave this here, as it relates to Parker's old opponent Hughie Fury. Uncle Meth just recently exposed himself even more as a completely incompetent hack (as if the recent performance of Tyson under the guidance of a rookie hadn't done enough). In a recent interview Meth has claimed that Hughie has to change his style, in fact Meth even went so far as to say that he himself doesn't like Hughie's style! The master coach even seemed to show real contempt for it ... the style HE trained his own son in, which has turned out to fail at title level, most obviously in the Parker fight. Hughie, you need to ditch this con man just like Tyson did. ASAP.
Joshua didn't land any heavy blows on Parker because Parker didn't find them heavy enough. However he was stunned by Dillians shots, and I saw the facial reactions to the body shots by Dillian. I read the article and the take away from it was clear as day. Dillian hit Parker harder when in both fights Parker wnet 12 rounds. But you sit there like a grown man and tell me AJ didn't land flush in 36 minutes. Please tell me more.
This has nothing to do with the thread... Why would you leave it here? Make a new thread mate.. it's free...no tax. (Just ask @mark ant)
So when Parker said 'Joshua didn't land any heavy blows', he actually meant 'Joshua didn't land any blows I found heavy enough'. I'm honestly laughing out loud here mate, thank you.
It’s amazing that the hardest puncher in the division Dillian Whyte didn’t take 5 million and take out AJ with all this power and become the man in the division with 3 belts.
AJ fought a cautious, strategic fight of jab and move against Parker. The Parker vs Whyte fight was far more open fight of the two. For people questioning AJs power, really? Only person to stop K.Johnson and he did it brutually and also the only person to stop Povetkin. AJ brutual KO of Whyte. Also not forgetting the Wlad and Brezeale fights.
So as an individual, I am going to tell whether someone has landed a heavy blow on me or not? Do you know how stupid that sounds? How do I know what a heavy blow is until I've felt it? For all I know the guy could be hitting me at 50 per cent or 70... maybe he has way more power than he letting off. I can only go by what has landed on me to gauge. And as AJ landed over 36 minutes, knowing who AJ is and how he ALWAYS fights... he will have landed shots with intent. Parker didn't feel it heavy blows throughout the WHOLE fight.... end of story. So AJ deliberately went in cautiously and throwing at 50 cent against a guy with a granite chin (After pre-media heacache bout never being dropped) and a guy who is not a very strong puncher/ That makes PERFECT sense. Hey Aydamn, I want you to fight this guy he has an amazing chin... but not a very strong punch okay what's your gameplan? Well I am not going to hit him very hard, and instead I am going to cautiously avoid him.
Whyte was bad back then, but showed potential to be something greater. It is an old fight, from the past. Kind of where you belong Gymbot. 2015 called and they want you back.
Ahh, so Joshua WAS landing heavy blows on Parker. But Parker didn't even realise they were Joshua's heavy blows. That's why he said there weren't any. After all, how would he be able to tell, right? ... this is brilliant. Please don't change.
