    Current Klitschko Vs Parker is a possibility if parker beats dubois next year. Could Klitschko still win this?

    As much as Parker is grossly overrated and will be plonkered by Dubois, I struggle to see Wladimir Klitschko having much success considering how he was gassing out against Joshua by the mid-rounds going on eight years ago.

    Hopkins was still holding the light heavy weight title at 49

    Joseph Parker was one of those fighters tailor made for Wladimir Klitschko.

    I'm not sure how Wlad would do now. But prime Wlad or even slightly out of prime Wlad would smash parker to pieces. He would just keep him away with the jab all night and if Parker tried to do anything on the side he'd get hit by a hook/right hand. Parker struggled to get inside range against Joshua, imagine what would happen with Wlad.

    Prime for prime Wlad would give Parker issues imo.

    Now? Not a chance.

    Yes, he can do it.
    Parker is fat now and his chin is compromised.
    Wlad has a huge natural size and power advantage.
    If Wlad lands early he can get the KO.
    If Wlad runs out of gas it's bad for him obviously.
