LOL, The guys who were saying Parker beats Joshua 3 months ago, will be the same one saying "Parker is too green, Joshua still hasn't had a real test yet" if Joshua beats him.

Originally posted by Quiksilva View PostOkay, to all you boxing fans who do you got winning this fight?
Both pros and cons that I can list a few on the two fighters.
Tale of the Tape
Anthony Joshua
Height: 198cm" (6'6)
Reach: 82" in (208 cm)
- Seems to be the better boxer, knows how to use his reach, distance and has good timing and strength
- Seems accurate and is a hard hitter
- Hasn't been tested to go 12 rounds
- Showed vulnerability when he got hit by Dillian Whyte
Joseph Parker
Height: 193cm" (6'4)
Reach: 76" in (193 cm)
- Quite a slugger, comes forward, throws combination and has quick hand speed for a heavyweight
- Proved to go the distance
- In the Takam fight, it showed he can take a punch and has a bit of a chin
- Lacking a bit of defense and conditioning
I analyze both fighters, I think Joshua wins.
Thoughts? Who do you got and why?

People are making way too much of the Takam fight without understanding how good Takam is. Takam was outfighting and outboxing Povetkin, supposedly the best champ today besides Klitschko, with speed, combinations, power and skill before finally getting stopped.
Up until that point though, he showed truly world class skills in every area and showed that he would be handful for any HW in the world. That's against a long time experienced veteran champion and Takam still gave him hell.
Parker stepped up for the first time ever, into his first ever 12 round fight, to one of the best contenders today and won it clearer than Povetkin would have had it gone the distance. Not that it matters when you KO someone, but it gives you an idea of the skills of Takam and thus Parker too.
He's got some obvious holes to fix, but he's only 24. Plenty of time to do it.
