    Wilder's power is no better than Wlad's. Joshua took Wlad's right hand flush and got up again to win the fight.

    He'd fear Ortiz about as much as he'd fear Povetkin or Pulev.

    Unsure, but the case for Parker/ against AJ::

    In the first fight:
    • Parker was handicapped massively in the first fight with AJ, hardly being allowed within 10 yards of AJ all fight.
    • Parker looked like he was lacking in belief against AJ and wasn't as aggressive as he was against Ruiz, perhaps afraid of AJ's power.
    • AJ came nowhere near knocking Parker out and looked very cautious compared to what we were used to seeing from AJ at that time, which tells me he was weary of Parker.
    • Nonetheless AJ won pretty comfortably, though the scorecard 109-119 was probably generous.
    Now:
    • Parker looked much better against Chisora than I have seen him before, particularly as I thought Chisora won the first fight (very marginally).
    • Parker's biggest problem is a lack of killer instinct but he MAY have found that, Chisora took a beating and there are not many fighters who would have seen the final bell (AJ not included).
    • Chisora shouldn't be underrated, even now.
    • Parker has a better gas tank than AJ, a better chin and similar speed.
    • AJ is mentally completely shot, his biggest strength in the past was a strong instinct to knock the other guy out when vulnerable, but this has faded since the Kiltschko fight and looked completely absent against guys like Pulev, probably because he doesn't trust his chin.
    • Parker is much younger (26 at the time of the first fight to AJ's 28.5), perhaps now at a later stage in their careers youth would give him an advantage.
    This fight would have the makings of a 12 round, boring jab-fest, with moments of Parker getting on the inside (referee permitting). But by virtue of Parker's superior chin, gas tank and much higher self-belief with his own star currently rising in contrast to AJ's, IF he really is a new man and the last fight wasn't a fluke, I am inclined to favour Parker to overcome AJ's size advantage, provided there are no ref/judge shenanigans.

    If Joshua hits Parker like Chisora hits Parker, it might be a KO. But I’m guessing Joshua and Parker are both too cautious and it gets done by UD.

    He seemed more willing to trade, and if he does that I'd go for an AJ KO.
