    Parker will have to change his style, he likes to lead on the front foot which I think is made for Joshua. Parker likes to throw combos in the pocket and will get caught with counters. A good counter puncher might give Joshua trouble.

    Parker on points or by late stoppage, i am very confident he would beat Joshua

    Yes, while Joshua does counter punch himself he does like to lead a little too much sometimes which could see him countered like against Whyte.

    I really want to see how Joshua deals with movement. We all saw Savon at the Olympics give him problems with movement and Dychko as well gave him some problems as well.

    Problem is there are not to many guys that can move well at heavyweight at the moment, other than Fury. Wlad's movement has always been overrated, too predictable and relies too much on height and clinching rather than moving, Scott who has no heart and a chin that would see him KO'ed as soon as AJ lands and then Cunningham who is far too small to be any kind of threat. Maybe Haye, he moves reasonably well though is small at the weight.

    If Parker wants to beat Joshua he needs to work on his counter punching, movement and jab. He isn't totally useless on the back foot which I suspected he might be before Takam but without the ability to counter when on the back foot he's far too predictable to get to AJ.

    Parker by stoppage he does everything well not great but well. And I suspect Joshua's chin is not as good as Parkers and Parker stops him late while behind on the cards. Hope this fight happens.

    Joshua looked unstoppable last night. Only thing that took DB the rounds was his chin. Any weaker and he was a gonner by round 2.

    Parker gets beaten to within an inch of his life. Anybody that comes forward on AJ is going to get flattened.

    You guys seem to forget who Joshua was fighting... he is slow, messy, not an amazing chin and he managed to land a few solid shots on Joshua - nothing to danger him but he also drew blood.

    If this was any top ten guy other than Joshua then the odds are we would have "AJ would have had him out in one or two" etc. Parker can fight off the back foot and his punches will come in harder faster and more accurately than Breazeale, his defense is no worse, basically the odds are Joshua would be facing someone who could survive in the ring at least as long but will give AJ something to worry about in return fire and AJ doesn't have the same kind of chin as these guys. Parker could definitely win it, the odds are Wilder would win which is why Parker is a likely possible next if they don't decide on someone even safer

    Unless Parker improved his stamina a good deal I can't see him winning this. I say Joshua takes him deep and ko's him in the championship rounds.

    Joshua is the best Heavyweight in the world. He will stop Parker.

    My money would be on AJ but i think its a dam good fight, I think its either very competitive or parker gets blown away like all the others so far, Its the perfect next fight and imo will answer all the questions as to weather he is truly ready for the likes or wilder and fury.
