Parker will come in with his usual just-enough-to-lose strategy and get nailed by a massive hook to the body. While he has a very good chin, the body shot will fold him like the proverbial cheap suit.
Even though Parker is flawed in my opinion, I can't pick Gassiev based on what he's done to beat an established heavyweight as of yet.
If Gassiev can come back from his injuries at his best self and beat some decent names then I could make a more accurate pick. However, based on what they've done, it has to be Parker.
Next time please write “who would take it?” People make a lot of threads without context as if the match has been made.
It doesn't matter, if the match were made I'd say it was before asking who would take it. This is just hypothetical like always
Surprised the vast majority are picking Gassiev. Hasn’t done enough at the weight yet to make him a favourite in this one. Close fight either way
Posters here despise Parker for some reason. I’m not surprised considering they also dislike Joshua so try to undermine Joshua’s legit win over an unbeaten World Champion to unify the division. I can’t wait to see the reaction when Parker defeats Joe Joyce in front of his home fans.
