Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua vs. Joseph Dennis Parker - THE *OFFICIAL* POLL

I think Parker's chances will increase if the moment isn't too big for him.

 

people go on about parkers incredible speed, ok his jab is fairly quick but not much else

A big slow fat lumbering ruiz had no problem hitting the target early on, he's easily hit!

AJ will stop this guy in 3 rounds

 

You can get very good odds on AJ points. Look at the Takam stoppage, that's probably why

 

I feel the skills get him to the championship rounds

 

I'll be surprised if Parker gets stopped early. Not that Joshua doesn't have the power, but Parker is coming in light and said he'll use speed and movement, I doubt Parker is going to leave himself open to be blown out early and Joshua has learned from the Whyte fight and doesn't come out all guns blazing, if anything he was too tentative vs Wlad early on.

Takam isn't much worse than Parker based of their fight and he took Joshua late and perhaps would of gone the distance had it not been for a poor decision by the ref. So for Takam to go late and Parker to be blown out seems unlikely considering all this. Plus Parker hasn't shown any signs of a weak chin yet. I doubt he has Tua's chin, too many believe that all Samoans have iron chins if that was true Jimmy Thunder, Tui Toia etc would of had better chins.

 

Apparently you have never heard of Bob Lee (RIP) lol.

 

Truth be told I don’t recognize the IBF, IBO or WBO titles. I do respect the fighters under those organizations but not the legitimacy of the titles. When the new titles came out, I just accept the fact that they’ve created another title organization that’s all.

 

Joshua by BKO

 

Joshua takes it, late stoppage I guess.

 

What was your thought process on deciding to include middle names?

 

Joshua will gas, Parker by late stoppage.

 

That's just how I roll.

 

Yeah seems like only you and I do this

 

Well, I now finally know why people call Joshua "Femi". I thought it was an obscure joke about a sex toy or something, and I've pretended to understand the whole time.

 

Femi : Nigerian culture :: Mike: American culture, basically the default shorthand for a given name that ranks among the most common. You will meet thirty Femis before you've left the airport in Lagos. Similarly in Tijuana you'd meet thirty Pacos (diminutive of Francisco, alternately "Pancho", for which the cutesy version is "Panchito") in the first hour.
