    He'd toy with Parker so easily! Parker is too small to have success against Fury in my opinion, don't bring up Cunningham either as that's a different Fury entirely. I feel like to beat Fury you have to be a big guy with power, maybe a wilder or Joshua, I don't think Wilder is good enough and we don't know if Joshua will be.

    Still young and in heavyweight terms, very young.

    He's only going to go from strength to strength if he keeps his head screwed on.

    It's one thing getting to the top, staying there is the difficult part.

    He has a 72% stoppage percentage, and that his without really trying too hard. He hits a lot harder than you think, and the idea that Haye would survive two rouds is a joke.

    Joshua is still an unknown, but judging by his amatuer work, his chin can be cracked.

    People are living in a deluded reality if they think fighters can just "walk down" a strong 6'8 and 255 pound heavyweight throwing flurries of punches at them.

    He'd need to be outboxed and outsped really, either constantly or with a perfect punch or a few.
    It's not just a case of "well, he's not the greatest power puncher ever, so I'm gonna walk him down and walk through his flurries if I have to" .... No, that's suicide, he'd bust you up on reach alone, nevermind the fact that he can actually move a bit too.
