Joshua vs Parker: who would win?

Parker by UD

The speed is the difference

 

Yep.

Watch the flurry against Takam

Unbelievable speed for an HW

 

Head tells me Joshua by KO but wouldn't be surprised if it's a late stoppage in the region of rounds 9-12 as Parker is quick and can take some shots. Ultimately though he is just far too hittable to not get rocked badly vs AJ imo.

 

Joshua by late KO or UD.

 

Hard to say... I slightly favour AJ right now but Parker has some good clear stuff to work on. Saw some vulnerability in Joshua's game which I am sure Team Wilder and Team Parker will be all over, Breazeale looked like he had found it but wasn't good or fast enough to capitalise on it. It's not like Joshua is any sitting duck, but right now I see it as Wilder, Joshua then Parker as the top of the newish blood - in that order. Any of them could beat any of the others on the right day.

Wilder is calling out Joshua now.... I bet team Joshua go for Parker if they can despite Wilder clearly being the higher value fight, and the fight they've made out they want as they "want to unify".

Will be an interesting few weeks

 

Joshua late KO or UD, parker has a good chin.

 

Parker may have slightly quicker hands, but his foot speed is terrible

 

Joshua light work

 

Parker had trouble with Takam who really isn't a great puncher-hes a good puncher but not great. Parkers lack of quality opponents will become as evident as it was against Takam.Parker will find landing his straight shots down the middle a lot harder against a more mobile fighter who has head movement and can bang harder than he has ever been hit so far. Knowing what will work and what wont against Joshua is useless if you have not yet learned how to perform the task at hand :deal Theres a very good reason for sitting an apprenticeship before calling yourself a tradesman :deal :hat

 

Parker's speed vs Joshua's power. The makings of a fascinating fight. Still favour AJ would catch him before it is through. But would love to be proven wrong. Hope it is a great fight if/when it happens.

 

May happen this year

 

yes, said like I was going to say it :good

 

Joshua wins based off of what I've see so far.

Parker has flaws, poor stamina, weak jab, relies too much on getting off first, which makes him predictable, doesn't counter enough, loads up too much with the right hand, easy to counter.

He is of course very dangerous, decent puncher, fastest hands in the division, good chin and plenty of heart. But at the moment it isn't enough, Joshua would punish him behind his jab and Parker's aggression would allow Joshua to land plenty of hard counters.

I don't expect the fight to happen until next year though, Parker has time to fix some of his flaws and become an even bigger threat.
