Read on google today that joseph parker might be in next AJ fight? Can he give anthony joshua tuff time. i don't heard alot about the parker. how good a fight he is?
In terms of the eye test, AJ has more power, better footwork, better punch selection, punches straighter, has a better defense and a superior offense. AJ beats Parker in every category.
No he doesn't. His punches are nowhere near as fast or crisp in combination, and his feet are noticeably slower. Power is about even, with AJ having the heavier hands and Parker being the more explosive.
I don't see there being that much in it if the eye test is anything to go on. Joshua obviously has the better resume with Whyte, but once Parker goes on the road he should start to up his level of competition (I hope…)
Parker seriously needs to get a new promoter though.

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.

Doubt it, just people making click bait articles from interviews/comments both gave wanting to fight each other.
no...if you'd read nsb recently or paid any attention to either camp is saying you would know there is no chance of this.
joshua is fighting either takam/stirverne or poss jennings next.
parker is fighting in NZ for at least his next 2 fights.
and what about the martin's name?
I didn't say AJ is an "a level" fighter but yes, as a prospect/fringe contender, AJ is clearly above Parker.

is parker a good fighter comparable to AJ?
Yes he is. Just go watch a couple of his videos and it'll answer the question better than anyone can here.
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.
Your comment signifies that parker is not a level fighter as compared to joshua.

very, very unlikely, considering they want to take AJ a different route and fighting Parker would be a backwards step for him.

I doubt it happens next.
But to answer your question, yes, Parker is very good and can give Joshua some big problems. His jab and handspeed are very good, he throws great combinations and has a good punch selection. I would probably pick him to beat Joshua atm.
How would you rank joshua and parker after fury?
