Short summary: he's not as heavy handed as Josh or as accurate but has superior hand speed and is overall a more fluid athlete. Josh is a mite more seasoned at the moment, but there's no glaring faults I can see in JoJo that would hinder him from making the step up.

Parker seriously needs to get a new promoter though.

joshua is fighting either takam/stirverne or poss jennings next.
parker is fighting in NZ for at least his next 2 fights.

Joeph Parkers best opponent was a 48 year old Kali Meehan
You might remember Meehan as the guy who Danny Williams ko'd in 30 seconds at the York Hall about 15 years ago.
Outside of that his opponents drop off big time, they are the kind of guys they pad "prizefighter" cards with.
Parker looks great against these guys but in all honesty if you gave me a few months to get in shape i could probably look like Muhammed Ali against those guys too.

Parker is potentially an excellent upcoming heavyweight and some are already calling him one of the fastest punchers in heavyweight history. The problem is that his opponents are pretty poor.
I'd love to see the fight though, Joshua vs Parker is an excellent match up on paper between two upcoming prospects who could be world champ material, depending on how they progress and develop.
