    Such as Parker is faster with the Better chin.

    Who do you think had more skill, power, footwork, defence or accuracy?

    Parker is more fluid. Joshua's jab and fast combination counters inside will be the key to victory.

    Parker - Orthodox style, speed
    Joshua - Power .

    Both have **** for stamina.

    Parker doesn’t have a speed advantage. Joshua is explosive.

    Joshua has more power.

    Stamina isn’t something either should boast about.

    Chin - AJ has passed a few acid tests. Parker is still questionable. He’s never been in with a puncher.

    Boxing - AJ much smoother slicker boxer with the better amateur pedigree.

    Parker is the more complete boxer. He's superior in every technical department.

    Joshua has size, strength and power advantages. This is heavyweight boxer so those advantages could well be decisive.

    Parker has the advantage of never having been decked and beaten up for a couple of rounds but it wasnt him in there with WK. I wouldnt fancy him vs the same WK than lost to Joshua so it evens out a little.

    Is that an advantage though? He’s never been hit by power like Joshua’s, so when he’s getting beaten up for the first time in his career and then goes down for the first time in his career his head is going to fall off.

    Maybe but nobody has put much of a dent in him. Ruiz can definitely throw fast bombs and he never managed it. We're not talking a Prince Chuckles here.

    I think we are.

    He’s the Charles Martin of the Southern Hemisphere.
