    Parker UD is an obvious choice.

    But I still think he can win by KO

    I will go to primary schools, UD and KO some bums there, I will have a better stats than big boy Fury ... I guess my legacy and prediction fights will have a better ratio than Tyson Fury. Because I will not get TKO'd and I will have a zero draws and loss. Ok, ok. Legit.

    You're being absolutely ridiculous. Come back when you're actually willing to have a discussion about boxing.

    It was an analogy. If I would KO primary school pupils and then fight with adults on my level .... Analogy to Joshua's heavy TOP class opponents and Fury's pathetic Seferi, Schwarz etc.

    You are calling me ridiculous while you predict to win amateur boxer against a super seasoned PRO and Olympic gold medalist with a very good skillset and physicall traits? I mean, how much boxing declined when I have to be a lawyer for Joshua here? Joshua doesn't fight with Zhang. And even if Joshua would get loss against Ngannou.... That doesn't entitle you say Ngannou wins (if you are a genuine boxing fan). Kids from Jake Paul can say that. But if boxing fan says this ... For whatever Reason ( they want to look cool or show of if Ngannoua will make some lucky punch).... It is something so humiliating for boxing....

    It is like you take some ATP 500 ranking tennis player with a huge serve and forehand and pick him against Djokovič or Sinner. Do you think it's adequate or respectful towards to superstars? Do you think it is normal? I think it is pervert and bizarre.

    And if Ngannou will win, you come here and Will scream..... "Oh oh, I was right, Ngannou won." But you will not mention the fact that it will be a result of luck.

    What I'm saying is that based on Ngannous recent performance against Fury (who is currently a world champion, undefeated and never KO'd) he has a good chance of knocking AJ out. It's the heavyweight division where raw power can overcome skill.

    I don't buy into your whole "you can't say Ngannou can win because it's bad for boxing" because I don't care. AJ is taking the fight, he can take the consequences that come with it and I hope he loses because he has no business fighting him in the first place.

    I'm "entitled" to have whatever opinion I want. I don't need your permission, and it's not relevant to me that you view AJ as a "super star".

    Ngannou KO 7. Suck it.

    Joshua is going to knock this guy cold, early. Everybody knows these MMA guys all have glass jaws. He won't be hitting the mat by choice this time! :lol:

    Joshua by KO or at last wide UD (Im little worried but hope that's just because I like Joshua and dont want boxing being discredited again after Fury fail)

    Zhang by KO.
    Parker got too slow feet to UD bigger man with soo quick and heavy hands. He is not brilliant at outboxing other people. He must stand heavy on feet and attack in some part of the fight and then Zhang will aim him what's start the end of Joseph.
    Parker can try move, outboxing him but he is much smaller. If he want land he must be at Zhilei reach and I dont belive he can leave it without damage. Zhang will put little presure on him but he dont need chasing him. He can wait for Parker come closer.

    If Parker cant outbox Joyce he also dont outbox Zhang.

    Joshua vs. Ngannou: Joshua will knock him out if he lets his hands go, anyway Joshua wins.

    Zhang vs. Parker: Zhang by knockout, unless Parker makes it to the late rounds then he could pull out the win.

    Huns vs. Lerena: They are both unknown to me, but I prefer Huni.

    Joshua just needs to use his experience and box his way to the win,if he gets complacent or hesitant Ngannou will be all over him,not a hard pick as such but Ngannou is still really a basically unknown quantity at Boxing and had Fury really prepared or not ! I think it’s whichever fighter can compose their game plan onto the other and that should be Joshua. Parker is up against an unmovable mammoth in Zhang and also another hard one to pick,for Parker to win he needs to keep busy whilst setting a high pace without getting involved too much and then when Zhang starts to tire which he will then and only then should Parker take it to him,Zhang needs to be pressing from the first bell using his size and power whilst conserving energy for the later rounds. I think Parker should be able to win being the younger fresher fighter but would also not be surprised if Zhang was to win by stoppage in the first half of the fight . Being honest both fights could really go either way and we may well see both fights changing momentum from one to the other while they last.

    I'll admit I am. Still think N'Gannou is going to batter him though, he looked terrified at the weigh in as well.

    Would be keen to hear your reasoning for Parker here (apologies if I missed it somewhere earlier), I for one give him a decent chance but don't feel confident at all ...

    AJ v Ngannu: Why would AJ let his hands go against a big puncher like Ngannu? Seems like it would be a very poor tactical decision.

    AJ should go out there and jab Ngannu's head off, he can throw some combinations later in the fight but it would be crazy to allow Ngannu to use his key attributes (power, strength, counter-punching) by staying in the pocket and trying to unload, particularly early on.

    AJ on points (though it would be typical if he lost now when I've picked against him v Franklin and Wallin!)

    Zhang v Parker: Either Zhang KO's Parker in the first half or Parker wins a points decision. The only way Zhang wins on points is if he hurts/drops Parker early which is possible. Parker can't realistically win by stoppage unless Zhang is very tired down the stretch but Zhang has shown a lot of grit, I think even if he's out on his feet he won't lose by stoppage unless the ref or Zhang's corner stop the fight for him.

    I lean towards Zhang because to my mind he has more routes to victory but it's very close to 50/50.

    The rest: Who cares tbh fam

    He will pick Parker by KO in all circumstances no matter how unlikely.

    No, you haven't missed it, I haven't gone into detail as to why I've picked him yet. Like you just said, I picked Parker but apprehensively so and I'm not entirely confident of my pick either. But I do think Parker will have a hell of a lot more success early than Joe Joyce did, who let's be honest, stylistically always played into Zhang's hands, most of us who picked him, simply thought his chin would hold up long enough to take Zhang into deep waters and drown him. But Parker as we've all seen, is quite adept on the back foot against Takam, Ruiz and Joshua, who are all better on the front foot than Zhang, who tends to be more of a counter puncher. So I think Parker will be ultra defensive early, win a few nip and tuck rounds, then start amping up the pressure as the match progresses. Joe is the faster man and that speed will be doubly effective against a slowing Zhang. Sure, attempting those ambush attacks like he did with Wilder is a risky proposition with a guy like Zhang, although as I just implied, Zhang's speed is being vastly overrated because against Joyce, everyone seems fast as a bullet. He's certainly not as fast as Wilder. Although his timing is very solid, and much better than Wilder's. But I think Andy Lee, who's a southpaw with great timing and a killer right hook and seems to be a great fit with Joe, just like he did with Wilder, will have Joe thoroughly prepared to face a southpaw and teach how to defend against one with an excellent right hook. So if Parker can fight just as disciplined a match against Zhang as he did Wilder, he'll pull off a close points win. Even a late stoppage victory wouldn't shock me.
