    Leapai arguably not much of a different kind of level of opponent to Schwarz, not great but not nothing either - and can bang. Should be an easy enough night for Joe, and if he gets ripped for the easy opponent while Fury is getting the "#1 HW amazeballs" for beating someone also just outside of the top 50 then people are being pretty selective about what they see.

    A reason to be critical is if Parker does a sloppy performance.

    A 50/50 fight with a 50% prepared Andy ruiz. Mike does everything better then Parker. He’s more elusive, he hits harder, better jab, faster puncher......Parker might be a better runner but that’s about it.

    How was he "50% prepared" he was in better shape than he was vs Joshua

    Mike is not that good

    Glad I realised this MUST be a troll post before I wrote a novel about the things wrong with it.

    What has anything you said got to do with this thread? You are right, though - Parker was probably lucky to win (as opposed to draw, Ruiz didn't win) the COMPETITIVE fight with Ruiz and you're also right, Ruiz smashed Joshua... makes you wonder how Parker would have gone if the ref didn't keep making sure Parker was kept at Joshua's full reach away from him. If Ruiz had the same ref, he'd also have lost - except in 12 rounds AJ couldn't hurt Parker....

    Went for it against Whyte??????

    He definitely went for it.

    He one hundred per cent went for it and that was his gameplan from the start.

    Said he didnt want repeat the mistake he made with AJ... so he went ALL out against Whyte.from the opening bell.

    Parker hit Whyte as hard as he could as often as he could... and he is the much faster man... he is at least twice as fast.
