    Only comment if you have seen more of Parker than just the last 3 fights. Meehan and Dimitrenko were also ranked opponents - and closer in stature and style to AJ.

    If all you have seen are Takam onward, then commenting will be difficult, because you have not seen the full picture of what Parker has done to taller fighters.

    Your thoughts?

    AJ is highly beatable by any average heavyweight. But Parker is so bad, such a pathetic excuse for a fighter, so mentally weak, so fundamentally poor, I believe AJ will outbox him comfortably. Andy Ruiz on the other hand would have a good chance of stopping AJ.

    Lol where’s your proof of this as he’s fought many average heavyweights and blasted em away.
    Andy Ruiz got beat by Parker did he not?

    Parker is solid and strong like all Samoan boxers (Tua included).

    He is only 1.5 inches shorter than AJ. NOT a Cruiserweight!!

    How can Parker beat Joshua.. if it was me I'd be thinking Baseball bat, Cricket Bat, Sledgehammer.

    Seriously though, Parker has to be brave, he can't sit back and wait for mistakes in my opinion, he'll get overwhelmed.

    I'm not saying he should go crazy and steam in but if there are openings he has to let his hands go and throw punches and throw punches with real intent and commit.

    He'll need to get off first which I believe he can do, but then he needs to either clinch or move after throwing. He normally doesn't do this, he throws then stays right in front of his opponent to be countered.

    He needs to counter punch when forced onto the back foot instead of being completely defensive which allowed Takam and Ruiz to force him back whenever they liked. If you know nothing is coming back from a moving target you'll just keep coming forward, keeping them from throwing. But he can't get drawn into trading with Joshua when he does counter. He needs to use counters to use Joshua's aggression against him, remember Wlad and Whyte hurt Joshua when he was going in for the kill, Joshua is vulnerable then.

    Work the body. Nobody has gone downstairs with commitment against Joshua and we all know Joshua has stamina issues. If he can slow Joshua down, make him throw less then you can out work him and steal rounds on activity and punches downstairs will reap benefits later in the fight when Joshua maybe more vulnerable. Working the body may also lower that high guard Joshua uses.

    Movement is key. Joshua has slow feet and keeping Joshua resetting will minimise his work rate. While I think Parker has quick enough feet to do this his lack of counter punching and tendency to hold his feet after throwing makes this a risky strategy, but if he can fix these issues he can pose Joshua problems.

    Or Parker can do what Wlad did and pressure Joshua with movement and feints. Joshua likes to sit back and counter waiting for leads that didn't always come from Wlad and was continually backed up and a moving Joshua is a less effective Joshua.

    Keep the pace fast, don't allow Joshua to rest, even if its just forcing him to chase you or forcing him back. When Joshua does rest then be active don't give him the time to regroup and recover.

    But personally I think this is a very big ask from Parker, he has the attributes but not the skill set to beat Joshua.

    Tough sparring would be a good start.....

    Bragging you've never hit the canvas isn't as impressive as hitting it, getting up and getting the KO.

    If you have no boxing knowledge, why do you even post here?

    Although i disagree with almost every point the OP makes....

    It's a bit rich to claim that he has no boxing knowledge when you claimed Martin Murray is a 'step up' for Billy Joe Saunders.

    So what you're saying is not to comment about the fights of Takam and those after because he looked average and nowhere near Joshua's level?

    Comparing Meehan and Dimitrenko to Joshua is like comparing David Price to Lennox Lewis.

    Hughie Fury is a big dude....and Parker looked like a blind dude trying to swat a fly for 12 rounds.


    Parker is too small, too weak and is also looking scared/nervous when being surrounded by the big fight hype.

    I'm sure he'll KO Joshua after failing to even land on Hughie Fury.

    What is going on in England? Do the counsel estates now have free internet and the opening webpage is BoxingNews24?
