    He is 16-0, but an old Kali Meehan is the best name on this record

    I doubt AJ and him will go anywhere near each other. This would have been an ideal Commonwealth title fight doubling as an Eliminator

    However Lucas Browne would create massive interest in Australia & New Zealand

    He's nowhere near as good as people say. Joshua would demolish him

    I've still only seen him fight as an amateur and he lost that fight due to laziness. He literally didn't throw any punches until the third round when it was far too late.

    Parker has potential as does Joshua, i'd like to see them go separate paths next 18 months before looking at a fight between the two

    This. It's exciting to see Joshua and Parker seem to me making statements that indicate that in 2016 they want to move their sights for future fights at the "other contender" ranks so we may seem them actually get tested a bit and see more of their potential.

    People saying Joshua will smash him are just being moronic. Sick of reading such brainless commentary on here. Yes, get it, he has knocked out a bunch of nobodies but so has Parker. Neither have lost a round since going pro and they are both getting carefully matched and tested as they grow so that when they are the actual top dogs they and their handlers know what they can do and what they need to work on.

    Should be an interesting next 18 months, I hope neither are derailed from their rather exciting paths

    He needs to fight a couple of top 15 guys next year and then kick on. Perhaps relocate.

    I'd like to see him fight Whyte.

    I agree with those saying Joshua beats Parker. We'll see how they both develop though.

    Although I agree Joshua looks the more promising prospect & I would favour him if they fought, Parker has fought slightly tougher opposition thus far imo.
