    Interesting that JP is the same weight as "fat Tua". Prime Tua was more like 230lbs.

    AJ is noticeably bigger mate. Wlad an him are two perfect specimens. AJ could lay off the weights slightly

    What do you mean by "bigger"? He is only 5lbs heavier even with all the muscles and given he is about 2" taller it means Parker has a higher BMI.

    Therefore, if you perceive Joshua is bigger when as a matter of fact he isn't really any heavier, it proves my point that it's an illusion.

    Better proportioned I should've said, and probably better conditioned imo AJ

    Yes. They don't have comparable physiques at all really.

    JP is noticeably but not massively shorter than AJ/Wlad, less muscular and broad-shouldered, but has bigger legs and thicker torso, and ultimately weighs about the same. I'm starting to feel like a bit of a weirdo going on about but the point is that he's not significantly out-sized by these guys just because he's less buff and aesthetic. Overall he's a bit shorter and a bit thicker.

    Parker has also got a bit of German in his family tree apparently.

    Yes he's noticeably bigger now because he's overburdened with muscle. He doesn't look like a naturally bigger guy than Parker. Different body type.

    you are talking about his body in to much detail for me. Only kidding. Just checked his stats, your right, big solid lump he is...Yeah he just don't look as buff lol

    Some people used to claim Ortiz was huge and Joe was small, which is weird
    King Kong was a 91kg fighter in the amateurs and usually weighs mid 230's now, granted he does have 84" reach but so does Jennings and he's meant to be small.

    I think both Joe and AJ would be better suited to 240lbs to be honest

    AJ is a tank upper body with a tiny lower body, Joe is better proportioned and better conditioned IMO

    Saw an interview the other day and AJ is embarrassed by the size of his calf's and said his trainer doesn't let him train them because small calf's were better for boxing, which I think is untrue but still.

    Parker looks a bit out of shape tbh, his opponent is just fat.
