    Takam is a better fighter than anyone Joshua has faced by a long shot, I like Joshua... but the truth is the truth, Takam is a dangerous opponent for anyone (Except a drug addict like PEDvetkin that loads up on PEDS to win fights)

    I am rooting for Parker, I hope he wins tomorrow but I know it could be an extremely difficult fight and Takam can very well win.

    I hope it's an easy KO for Parker.

    Good fight but I think Whyte would probably stop Takam. Will still be a very good win for Parker if he pulls it off.

    What has Whyte got to do anything? It'd be hilarious to see Whyte try and fight Takam... always a chance he could land something to hurt Takam but otherwise a different level.

    I agree Whyte is not that good of a fighter, Takam has a lot better skills

    The best aspect of this fight for Parker is that he gets a mandatory position if he beats Takam. Otherwise which big name would want to fight a relatively unknown fighter who can beat Takam?

    This fight will solidify Parker in the boxing world as a legitimate contender. A mega fight with Joshua is down the line, perhaps in a year or so... a fight like that would make Parker a star.... I honestly don't know who would win that fight.

    Thanks, just saw the Takam vs Thompson fight and feel a little more at ease... yeah Takam is just a notch above Whyte, I think Parker has this one tomorrow.
    The thing with Parker is he is still young, only 24 I believe he still has a ways to mature. Not everyone can be Tyson, Tyson reached his physical peak in his early 20s, I think Parker has still to reach his peak.... he is still developing.

    Yeah for sure, odds are if Parker wins Takam will be brutally knocked out and Takam if he pulls a win off will be by points. Parker has never been rocked in sparring, amateur or pro - let alone dropped or KOd

    Takam is quite a few levels below whyte, and that's not even discussing the huge difference in power alone. Skills and talent are many levels between them. Whyte will prove this fact over time. Some obviousnesses are harder to see for some.

    Takam has never been a top hw and he doesn't have what's required to ever become a true title contender. Losing to povetkin AND drawing with perez should be enough for all to understand his vast limitations.

    Even if parker is all hype he still should be able to beat any takam level fighter 10 outta 10 x's, no problems what so ever.

    Parker 's been feasting on Fry Cooks...

    and a few Satellite Dish Installers...

    this fight will show if the Babying of him
    has been for a good reason...

    his own team said they had the opportunity
    to fight Takam before but turned it down...

    they said he wasn't ready...

    so he beats 3 or 4 more Fry Cooks and
    all of a sudden he's ready??

    :huh
