Joseph Parker is today labeled as 6'4'' with an 76'' inch reach. But in his debut he had 72.5'' inches or 184 cm according to the tale of the tape: [url]https://imgur.com/a/MIkGo[/url] Joshua's listed at 6'5.75' at celebrityheights: [url]https://www.celebheights.com/s/Anthony-Joshua-49134.html[/url] Here is a picture of them standing together: [url]https://www.mykhel.com/more-sports/joseph-parker-on-track-anthony-joshua-fight-081177.html[/url] Here you can compare heights: [url]http://www.mrinitialman.com/OddsEnds/Sizes/sizes.html[/url] Parker looks more like 6'3'' All together I see size as the difference maker between them. At first I didn't think it was so much, but just like Wilder-Ortiz now suddenly it appears to be much more between the two of them despite what Boxrec tells us. Joshua is good enough to make an advantage out of it.
I think this fight will go down a bit like Klitschko-Povetkin. Povetkin kept coming but simply couldn't bite back inside.
No way because femi can't stop anyone getting near. Femi has no inside game he just panics like wind mill and swings.
One thing is for sure, that is to never trust boxrec. They even had Izu Ugonoh at 6'5'' despite looking even shorter than Parker...

There's no denying AJ is about 1.5/2 inches taller. However, the debut listed reach vs current reach, you fail to factor in age and human error. When applying for a professional boxing license a requirement is to get a commission specific physical. A fighter can ALLOW those measurements to be used. But the commissions simply hand a fighter/mgr a packet to take to his physician. Not all docs know the proper way to measure reach. They're far more interested in applying fighters brain health and structure.
