Joseph Parker's Chin and Engine.

His engine is fueled by sh!t roids from a third world doctor. His chin is made of Auckland tissue paper.

His skills are nonexistent. He has the heart of a little girl.

In other words, he’s the perfect opponent for His Reigning Mediocrity, Anthony Joshua.

 

Chin = 8/10
Stamina = 7/10

As much as I favour Joshua overall, I can't see an argument against Parker boasting the higher levels in regard to these 2 attributes.

Joe's Chengine is solid.

 

I am really looking forward to you eating humble pie. Please show up after AJ takes Parker to school and stops him in the 7th round.

 

Agree with joff, id give chin and stamina both a 7 or 8. Tough to really quantify this early in his career against the limited opposition hes faced. Both have been tested enough and to the point that you can confidently speculate hes good to very good in those two attributes. Joshuas power though is more definitively proven against higher quality tests/opposition and so are his skills. As good as Parkers chin and engine may be, i think Joshuas power, ability to land that power, and overall skills are proven enough to overcome both attributes Parker has. Parkers two attributes are more of an unknown quantity heading into this, so this is a real test for both. I think Joshua is clearly the better fighter and convincingly wins this possibly even brutally. Parkers a good to very good HW but just think this is a bad matchup for him and dont think he has the tools to check Joshuas weak points.

 

Because Parkers accuracy is poor.

He doesn't set up punches, he throws when not in range when trying to land power right hands which is why his punches go past his opponents and ends up in a clinch and their not even moving , their just standing their . How many shots in the Hughie fight missed with him just leaning on the ropes?

He doesn't get in distance and relies on baby steps with predictable same pattern jabs that aren't that great really.

His best assets are speed and grit.


He needs to close the distance/ gap because his punches are landing at the tail end most of the time and its taking power away.

He has good power that's evident but it means little if you don't know what your doing.


Honestly I could train him ....lol...and probably have him look better in one fight than Barry has in 24...

I watched every fight available of Parkers of every round yesterday to get a better handle on on the Joshua fight. There's minimal difference from his first 10 fights to now...something's wrong there.

Its truly mind boggling Barry can't see these things and that's just ONE problem I see.

I actually would drop my 10% chance of Parker winning...that's how big a difference in levels are here and chance of Joshua losing.

 

He looks a little fresher in the later rounds, and did not have suspect chin in the amateurs. So I think his stamina and chin are better than AJ's, by how much remains to be seen.

 

I think Joshua's gonna stop Parker.

 

Parker/Takam:

Chin: Parker.
Stamina: Takam.
Power: Parker.
Speed: Parker.
Size: Parker.

 

A loss here will be a good thing for Parker as long as it makes him move on from Barry.

 

Its probably a mix of fault at both ends. I've seen Barry repeadily tell Parker he's standing too tall....really its a major problem in the pro ranks fighting like that unless you have better technique and are taller than he is.

Fighters like Ruiz and Cojanu shouldn't be making any HW champion look that bad. No matter what anyone says when you are good size , more athletic and can punch......this is seen in multiple fights not just them.

I'm not sure what ppl watch either if they think Parker has the tools to beat Joshua. The total opposite is true and it would be a major upset. Its not remotely a 50/50 fight...crazy talk.

To defeat Joshua would require absolute revamping no matter how solid Parker is as a HW.

At the end of the day its still the art of hit while not getting hit. Joshua is the second least hit HW and that's BC he's an aggressive fighter or he would be number one. Parker can't say that BC he's easily hit. Nobody can possibly tell me Parker should win this fight.

 

Not having punch power is weakness in itself...that's why he lost to Parker who actually landed less than he did.

He won on strict aggression. Lol

 

Had Parker even been in with someone you'd call a puncher?

 

We simply dont know anything about his chin because he has never in his life faced a puncher. Right now i grade his chin the same as i graded charles martins prior to the aj fight.

His engine is ok but he does gas. He languished on the ropes vs takam and ruiz getting bashed about but luckily thise guys dont have power.
