    Wardley has left hook, uppercut, can throw combinations, has better head movement than Wilder as bad as his defense is and he can counter punch. Parker is overrated, you will see

    Nah mate, no way.
    Wardley showed his defense and counter punching abilities against Huni. He's a domestic level guy that has some good KOs to his name but has been found out by Huni who took the fight on late notice and had less than 20 rounds sparring in prep.
    Parker is a different proposition to an undercooked Huni, and you'll see that later this month.

    I disagree about his head movement being better than Wilder, Wardley's head movement is trash he literally does the same move over and over again, just leans to down and to his right, which is why Huni had so much success with the left hook.

    Wilder can counter, not a great counter puncher but he dropped Ortiz and KO'ed Szpilka with counters.

    Wilder has a better jab, faster hands, more power, quicker feet albeit his foot work is trash.

    Honestly Wardley isn't as good as a prime Wilder, probably better than the version that fought Parker but not much better. Wardley isn't world class, he's a domestic level heavyweight the first Clarke fight showed that as well as how clueless he was against Huni. Wardley is just another overrated puncher with bang average skills and Parker has been feasting on these type of fighters recently and handling them with ease.

    Wilder has no head movement, Wardley is an improvement. His jab is better but he isn't a better counter puncher. Parker is overrated, Wardley is going to find a way just like Whyte did. I will give Parker all the credit if he dominates, because I don't see it. Wardleys athleticism will be the difference, Wardley is a natural fighter

    Nah, Your going to fight Wadley with caution and every time Parker has been in with someone who can punch that's what he had done.
    Passive vs AJ.
    Boxed well with Wilder but really the amount of times he had him trapped in the corner makes me thinks he' not clinical enough at world level to put the best operators away.
    Zhang same again made sure he won boxing.
    This will go the same way. Except Wardley is fresher than both Wilder and Zhang will be a good fight.

    I still can't believe they gave them that 25 year monopoly for 15 mil or whatever it was with only guarantees lasting 5 years... seemed a bit short sighted.
