    Who will go farther?

    So far Junior Fa is ahead thanks to simply having more fights. Gimbatov is starting to catch up in a hurry. It's difficult to have an idea how good Fa is from the Lathan fight. Lathan didn't have any fight in him but Fa's performance was good anyway. Fast and hard punching.

    Fa fought and lost by shutout to Usyk in the WSB, while that's nothing to be ashamed of, this shows his flaws that can potentially be exploited by other top tier fighters. Although he's probably improved since then.

    If Junior can get into the world class condition they got Parker into he could go very Fa.

    He is a big guy and will always have a bit of extra dough but I think it will bring the best out of his speed and probably help his punching power.

    True but there's a real possibility Usyk would have shutout Gimbatov too.

    Does Fa still get much chance to spar with Parker? I think Fa sparred with Takam pre Joshua.
