    True story. I'm being paid gazzillion pounds for every post. Nice detective work. I would even say... Slick xD

    Hope the bookies favour AJ as much as some here...

    They tell you AJ was "prime" during the first Parker fight, before the Ruiz loss, during which he won a competitive decision over a less experienced parker.

    but, put the same Joshua against a more experienced Parker and...

    "Joshua wins more easily than you might think"

    There are some rabid Joshua fans running around this place. I suspect at least one of them of being a bot.

    I think AJ always beats Parker, bad style matchup for Heisenberg. I don't think the Dubois fight is a good measure of AJ. I wish he would get rid of Ben Davidson tho.

    Bookies are not interested in fantasy match ups.

    It's not that far from reality tbh. If the WBO strips Usyk Eddie will pop out of the blue dragging AJ by the collar for that fight.

    "Prime" refers to an athlete's physical peak. Not number of fights.

    'Prime' AJ was still pretty green.

    Against this version of Parker with a higher Ring IQ and vast experience, I think it's a UD for Parker

    When was prime AJ? Because when they last fought Parker was still rather green compared to today
