    I like them both, but Meehan, even at his age, is easily the best opponet either have ever faced. Meehan, for those who don't know, busted Brewster's jaw and many feel was robbed of the WBO belt.

    Parker, unlke Joshua, apparently got his jaw tested tonight.

    Go Parker!

    Definitely in my book... Joshi has to step up the competition.

    Saw the fight and must say improvements in certain areas for Parker, though flaws still remain. Especially his habit of getting lurd into a brawl!! Why! Against an almost immobile 45yr old Meehan where his outside work and calculated attacks were efficacious as f**k, does he insist on getting into a messy s**** where arms flail corybantically, and hence increases the chance of getting tagged! Also, he still seems lazy with defense - evident when getting thumped by a looping Meehan left hook which had a commercial break in the middle of it! Keep the hands up Parker! Saying that, footwork still great, speed and power top notch - just needs to get a bit more sportingly disrespectful when fighting...seemed at times he didn't really want to hit Kali. Good win, but still ALOT to be done over the next yr or two in my opinion. Cheers

    Anthony Joshua MBE would shatter Parker's mandible.

    Joshua v Whyte is a bout between two top 5 head2head Heavies. :deal:deal

    I find your assessment of Whyte deusional.

    Maybe after Meehan sleeps this one off, I'd go Meehan.
