    Deontay would have been the true step up for the bodybuilder. Anthony just needs to summon up the courage and accept the 50% the bomb squad kindly offered....

    Parker has 24 fights and has fought top 10 or 15 oponents like Takam,Ruiz and Fury.

    I think there is enough footage to rate him.

    Of Parker's recent opponents, AJ is most similar to Dimitrenko in height, weight, style.

    Parker overpowered him in 3 rounds.

    except for the fact joshua is a come forward fighter and dimetrenko a saftey first fighter
    joshua has a good left hook and dimetrenko does not
    joshua has big power in the right hand dimetrenko is an arm puncher
    joshua likes to fight on the inside throwing combos and dimetrenko grabs as soon as he is up close
    joshua throws a powerful jab and dimetrenko flicks his

    maybe if parker throws a body shot joshua will roll around on the floor pretending he got punched in the bollox and try to get parker DQ and then he would be just like dimetrenko

    I see Team Wilder have paid off the mods to ban baconmaker, shameful behavior!

    Dimitrenko and AJ:

    Same height, same weight, same body-type, same robotic style.

    Yes - AJ is a better puncher.

    We already have Joshua the second coming of the great Dimentrenko . :cheer:

    When Joshua wins the fake Parker supporters will just jump on another fighter like a flea would to a dog.

    Posters take pride I guess in looking like idiots on here just to down grade actual good fighters since Klitchko lost....that other guy who became a washed up guy over night after all the talk how he would expose Joshua. :comp4:

    Lol come on, people before Parker/Fury were doing the same comparison with Dimitrenko and Hughie and look what happened there.

    Hughie is simply a 'runner'

    Both AJ and Dimitrenko are more 'robotic'. Same stature as each other - almost exactly.

    But yes - AJ is far more powerful. The main difference.

    I still rate AJ-Parker as a 50/50 fight.

    You'd be crazy not to.

    Just making the point that Parker has a better chance than some think...

    I give Parker 10-15% chance. I can't see any way he will outpoint AJ in the UK - so I'm treating that as a means of victory that just isn't possible unless he knocks AJ down 3 or 4 times.

    Hughie Fury simply stunk the joint out by running away for the entire fight. Nobody will look good against Fury and that's part of the reason nobody will bother fighting him.

    same body type?? watching dimwittrenko "fight" is nothing like how AJ fights. Trenko was good at the c level but lets not pretend he was similar to AJ. He clearly was not. The End
