    Lol, nice back out - cue the "Joshua wasn't trying" if/when Parker sticks around longer than people expect.

    To counter this:

    Joshua isn't that overlooked as a counter puncher, he certainly talks about it a lot himself - and Parker's defense is overlooked or misread. He is much more awkward than he gets credit for and often ends up in it seeming like his opponents have decided to go low output for some reason. Be interesting to see if this comes up again with Aj....

    This outcome WOULD surprise me a bit, EITHER way. It's not impossible, but it would be an unfortunate and unlikely outcome in either direction imho.

    Parker is garbage. AJ beats him up badly.

    Parker got a dubious decision against Takam at home in NZ

    Takam boxed well but lost just about every round against AJ (shouldn't have stopped the fight though)

    Parker got no chance but should last till the latter stages or maybe even till the end

    Joshua should win, Parker doesnt have the attributes needed to overcome someone like Joshua, although, if Joshuas own skillset is being overrated then Parker does have the tool too expose that.

    I predict Parker too lose this fight mentally once he tastes the canvas early around the 4th, he will either going to survival mode or fight fire with fire, both paths lead to a Joshua victory.

    Haven't really seen enough of Parker to formulate a solid opinion but from what I have seen I don't think he's the man to beat Joshua. Doubt I'll pay for it.

    Joshua has questionable stamina and isn't exactly the most fleet-of-foot heavyweight. Parker has a real shot if he can employ some lateral movement and not get caught by anything big from Joshua.

    Parker is awful and was handpicked for that reason. Still, any mediocre HW has a chance against AJ. 60/40 fight.

    Fury, Joshua, Parker, Takam, Haye all beat Wilder.

    How does that make you feel?

    **** I wish I got to see your fear in the 7th the other day. Your boy went life and death with a pensioner.

    How many rounds has Wilder lost now?
    Losing against SPILZ, WASHINGTON and was getting the arrogance beaten out of him by a 5-1 underdog!

    I'm hoping AJ makes a statement with this fight. I know the UK is super impressed with whyte, but Whyte's a turd. Wlad was old and Fury did him one better. Takam was unsatisfying, and a statement against JP would prove AJ doesn't struggle with a peer HW who isn't fat, old, or worse...french.

    Yeah, I don't have no respect for french boxing, sorry france, you is cool, but **** off with that ****. Gregory Toney sucked in every combat sport he was in.

    I see it as an even fight going in.. . . .Parker is my pick for his training using upper body slipping and countering, moving in using combinations and moving back out.. . . 12 round decision with Joshua tiring late.
