When AJ fans say Klitschko v Fury was boring.

    Redirect them to last nights fight. Parker isn't half the opponent Klitschko was when Fury schooled him, yet the "all powerful", "all entertaining" AJ barely landed a clean shot on him in a dull fight.

    At least Fury exhibited elite boxing skill when he embarrassed Klitschko in Germany. Completely immobilising Wlad's attack with his head movement/footwork and landing enough shots each round to clearly win them.

    AJ proved he can go 12 rounds a utilise his size against a smaller opponent in what was a solid win. But as regards fluid boxing, footwork/head movement etc, he looks streets behind Fury. And he's had two fights on the spin that were less entertaining than most of Fury's fights. When AJ isn't throwing combinations and knocking people out, He's poor to watch.

    Totally different fights, fury/klit it was fury on back foot winning the fight. AJ/Parker was AJ on the front foot chasing Parker but winning the fight. Neither fight was exciting.

    Look at Wlad’s face after the Fury fight and look at Parker’s after last night. You are right, totally different fights. Fury beat the blue hell out of Wlad but Juicesha barely landed a scratch on Parker.

    And don’t bring up the AJ-Wlad fight as a counter argument. AJ went life and death with an older version of Wlad.

    Fury is the true People’s Champion.

    Aj won last night yeah....

    But he was flat as a pancake doing it

    He still looks bamboozled by a bit of movement

    Tyson fury schools aj, boxes his ears off all night long

    Aj big ko man persona fading fast

    Aj's weaknesses outweigh his attributes imo

    I ain't taking any sides I don't favour either AJ over fury. Parker tried to do what fury did to Wlad and keep moving feet and head but couldn't land the way fury did. A/j did what Wlad tried to do by walking down. However AJ was able to land and Wlad wasn't. But AJ was willing to throw more than Wlad

    A mixture of both should be a good fight. A very close fight.

    It was a boxing masterclass. Fury added plenty of showboating too, hands behind his back and chin out against a supposed ATG puncher IN GERMANY.

    Incomparable to last night where hardly one significant strike landed from either boxer.

    I’ve praised Joshua but I think he could learn a thing or two from Parker. His head movement was decent, and the feints he was throwing. There’s too many boxers not using these fundamentals. It made Joshua think twice about coming in with his own big shots. His style actually reminded me of Groves.

    Joshua's head and lateral movement still next to non existent

    If Parker was just that bit bigger with a longer reach he would have won that fight without a doubt in my opinion. He threw a million fast jabs and couldn’t land 999,999 of them just through lack of reach but if he did land them it would have been a different story. Then again it was what it was so props to AJ for dealing with it. After last night however I’m even more convinced a Fury near to the one we knew and Wilder both beat AJ.

    Last nights fight was a classic compared to the Fury Wlad stinker.

    lol fury wasn't giving a chance and then he put a masterclass on and everyone says klitchsko was a shell then aj goes life and death and with a worst klitchsko and gets more credit if anything it's laughable and alot of people claiming this parker fight was some sort of masterclass lol aj was terrible because the guy didn't stand there he gave him movement and aj was completely lost in there and if fury is at his best I wouldn't be shocked if aj pulled a no mas because his mentally weak

    AJ got a clear enough win so fair play to him. Though for me it was literally his size advantage that won him the fight, rather than any skill/speed/power superiority.
