    Parker by tko.

    Parker has a chin which takes away Morrison's ace. Beyond that Parker has power, not as much as Tommy but it wouldn't really matter, he has more than enough to end Tommy. Parker I'd say is a bit faster and has shown to be far more durable than Morrison. He also is better fighting off the backfoot (only time I saw Tommy do that was against old George).

    Because Joyce is a man mountain that can throw up to 70/80 punches a round, not to mention he has an above average chin and Parker isn't the biggest puncher despite his size. So simply put Joyce is a bad style match up for Parker who doesn't have the fire power to deter Joyce's aggression and workrate.

    As for the thread I think Parker could stop Morrison in the 2nd half of the fight he has better stamina, better boxing skills, and enough durability to weather any storms early on from Morrison.

    I could see Morrison dropping Parker with a left hook because Whyte did drop Parker with a left hook. So Parker might have to as I said overcome a few shaky moments early on before he takes over late on.
