Joseph Parker>>>>>>Anthony Joshua

I'm not convinced that Parker wouldn't have struggled as much. :conf

 

Still way too early to say who would win between them both.

Joshua is bigger, maybe stronger and better from range but damn is Parker fast and at mid range he's better than AJ.

If they fought now it would come down to how can impose their fight, AJ wins if he keeps it long, Parker wins if he can get into mid and close range. I can't pick a winner yet, need to see more from both, any choice now would just be pure speculation from me.

 

Parkers beaten nobody and doesn't look nearly as impressive as Joshua

 

I like Parker too, but I honestly think he gets sparked by Joshua. Beats all the rest besides Wlad IMO.

 

Whyte may beat Parker, he beat Parker's best win in Minto in much better fashion.

 

joshua stops him

 

Parker is just another Boystov.

 

I saw a muscle bound stiff fighting plodder today. No movement, getting beaten to the jab by a slow fighter. Relying on only power punchers to do anything. Getting gassed within a few rounds.

Parker = fit and powerful

Parker > Joshua

 

This forum is pathetic sometimes, fair enough if you think Parker is better, thats an opinion (even though hes fought literally nobody)

But to critique Joshua as poor after his performance tonight is a joke. He fought a solid opponent and proved he can assault guys at a higher level

 

parker is a good fighter, nice style /quick hands /.gets nice body torque to throw hard punches correctly
what he has not had yet is an opponet in the other corner he has to be cautiuos of , but finding the right type of opponents for prospects is hard

parker is definatly top ten and possible champion material

 

Don't agree. Whyte landed a big lunch which he had been hunting but Minto was out boxing Whyte, Parker took a patient methodical approach and completely schooled Minto. Parker on a KO mission against Minto right now would be murder

 

Parker looked good knocking out old men and bums. Lets see him against a live contender, then we can get a more realistic evaluation.

 

We have already seen him show better boxing skills against Minto than Whyte and he has the power too now - he fought Minto some time ago. Granted we can't say too much until he actually had a real test but what I saw now wasn't too surprising to me, so I kinda feel I've been reading their individual strengths and weaknesses.

When I say I favour Parker, I'm not calling it a no-contest - AJ is clearly a weapon... I just think Parker is more complete right now. He is going to have a pretty serious fight by April and I suspect team Joshua will dial back his competition as it's clear he has things to iron out even fighting Whyte's level.

 

Very good evaulation. The trainers will definitely be wanting to work of a NUMBER of things after this fight.

As Jake-the-muss said "Too much weights, not enough speed work".
