Parker: AJ is average I’ll stop him

"The Worm" would spank both on the same night Forman style...

When will he get his deserved shot....

 

Parker would do better against Joshua than fans think. There is a reason for such. His chin is like Tua's, which will not be good for Joshua or Wilder.

 

Well, my 2 cents as a parker fan. Frankly, based on recent fights Joshua is the favorite. He looks stronger amd more capable, and showed great resiliance against Takam after sufferring a headbutt. That said, you cant rule out Parker getting an upset. They might get into a rumble, and Parker could well put Josua on his arse. Im picking Joshua, but I’d love to find out if Parker could do it. Got to be one one of the best fights we could hope for.

 

Parker will bring it. Great chance of an upset.

Can't see Joshua getting through next year unscathed if he faces Parker, Miller & Wilder (in that order).

That's two guys with a chin & three with a punch.

All the credit in the world to Joshua if he does but I don't think he will.

 

And thats the thing - Parker is probably the best bet of the top 5 to upset either Wilder or Joshua. The best saboteurs that I've seen in boxing, are ones that most people completely count out and then boom, the crowd stand up in shock and silence.

 

Imo, none of the top guys will face Povetkin.

He's a non-factor in the division.

Parker will face Joshua before he has to face his next WBO mandatory.

If Povetkin ends up being the mandatory, the unified champ will just relinquish the WBO belt.

Povetkin will find himself fighting a non-entity for a vacant belt.

 

I was kind of talking out loud while typing obviously too much. The gist, there's many things a fighter need in abundance for me to take my time with them. Those fighters are the only fighters that have the ability to become great fighters, IMHO.

Most on here see quick knock outs and believe that's greatness. Power isn't even one of the talents or skill fighters need to become true greats, IMHO.

What a fighter has inside is mostly the important attributes that I look for. They all have talent, what separates the good from the great is how they deal with adversity, can they take what they can dish. Can they think their way out of trouble.

Can they survive tough spots and come back stronger? Can they shake off being caught bad, reverse course and find any way to win.

Many believe rjj was one of the greatest they've ever seen, and nobody beats him in his PRIME. He has the tyson affect around here besides the fact he's proved otherwise as much, if not more than Tyson himself.

Rjj was physically insanely gifted but lacked everywhere else. The reason I'm not on the destroys everyone in his PRIME. I grew up through the tyson then rjj era (following srl hagler era) and the shortcomings he's proven to have negate a whole ton of his 2 ton talent.

This forum is too enamored with ones physical tools. The tools we all see. That's not what wins the fights vs true great fighters. .it's what they fighter has in him, can he control himself inn every scenario.

That's why fmj is and will most likely be my top fighter ever. Many stronger, faster, longer, hit way harder but no-one matches him mentally.. Those are they only rare fighters that even have a chance to become great.

Usually know everything about a fighter before they fight for a belt, but with the fast tracking now it takes some defenses. Not sure how to explain the IT factor which comes from within, not physical tools.

They need enough talent to implement any fight plan they choose, obv it would focus on their strengths..

 

Povetkin will be a tough fight for any of the three champions. In saying that, any of the champions can beat Povetkin. Because it will take up to a year from now for Povetkin to become ranked no.1, it might not happen. There was a rumour that Parker wanted Povetkin to come up with $4 million but so far Povetkin hasnt paid anything so that rumour makes Povetkin look like hes ducking Parker by not paying the $4 mill for his title shot.

Parker and Joshua is in the works already which is now a more than likely fight for early next year.

 

No I forgot to mention voluntary defence. Povetkin can go past the elimanator that way I think. Parker wouldve picked Povetkin for his voluntary defence had Povetkin fronted up $4 million. So far no reply from Povetkin for to Team Parkers title shot offer. Parker is different from Wilder in that he picks within the top 10 of his organisation.

 

Of the people currently rated top 15 in Wilder's organisation, the average ranking that Wilder has faced is 7th. The average that Joe has faced in the SAME (WBC) is 4.5.... lol

 

That's the opinion of most casuals, funnily enough.

If you believe what you posted to be true, I can only assume you were watching the fight with both contact lenses in one eye. Sure, Joshua was winning nearly all of the rounds and scored the early knockdown; but he was made to work incredibly hard by Takam, and was having huge difficulty in dealing with Takam's style and defensive work up close. It was far from easy for Joshua.

I mean, it's not like Joshua blasted Takam out inside the first four rounds...
