HAS PARKER's WEIGHT HAMPERED his POWER?

No. His power has been 'hampered' due to the increasing level of opposition that he has faced. He simply is not a big puncher at the highest level.

 

i agree
but his trainers will i assume have had to work out a gameplan v AJ
parkers jab is faster than AJs / but it is short armed and flicked more than ram-rod

but it is a weapon he can use

the wsb or whatever the name of that tornament was when parker fought the 3 cruiserweights and the ruiz fight are the fights i learnt the most about parker .

the hardest thing to predict is what happens when joshua lands because we have not seen parker hit by a puncher / i think he will be able to take a few but will it effect his gameplan and mindset / make him cautious and retisecent about making mistakes.

or will he grit his teeth not worry about it and not let it effect him.

if the latter the fight will be tough and gruelling.

 

His bones will grow, and his muscle size will should naturally increase until the typical age of 32.
However, it's not what is causing his noticable slowing.
He's been over training because Barry must be insecure of Joe's H2H abilities at the level he's been fighting.

Not saying that KB is not a top trainer, but Joe is the most NATURALLY gifted and most well balanced of the top HWs, and Barry is breaking the CARDINAL RULE.....IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT.

JPs frame could continue to grow and if KB continues to make JP too tight, it'll make him even slower.

Imo...a change was needed after Ruiz Jr.
