    And here Parker wants to elevate himself by saying the guy he beat was a much harder punched.
    When quizzed about Joshua's claims, Parker's trainer Kevin Barry responded: "Joe mentioned to me afterwards, saying 'It was funny, I thought the guy would hit harder than he actually did'.
    Parker didnt say that at all. His ex trainer from 3 years ago said it.

    Anything Kevin Barry said is to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Do better!

      I thought Josh was monster hitter early in his career koing everyone..He looked hard hitter when stopping wlad, seemed trouble wlad wheneverhe landed properly and was clinical finisher. When Josh smelled blood, the end was near

          When he lands one of those chopping left hooks square on the temple or behind the ear, yes it's probably knocking down any heavyweight in the division.

              I think I'll take the word of a fighter who fought both over some internet dweebs.

                Never understood why it matters who hit a person harder
                Especially in a losing manner

                History will remember boxers correctly when it comes to who was more of a KO threat.

                  I mean the fact that Joshua has a far higher ko ratio AND has fought generally at much higher level should tell you what you need to know.

                  Ruiz only notable stoppage was ironically over Joshua, don't get me wrong Ruiz is heavy handed and quick but he's not a particularly sharp puncher and his finishing ability is completley uneducated.

                  Joshuas straight right hand is a lot harder than any punch Ruiz has, that's very obvious.

                    Hard to argue with a guy who has fought both but it sure don't look like that.

                      It's a minefield. Did Ruiz hit king Kong harder than wilder? Does Josh think Ruiz hit him harder, than he hit ruiz? Does Parker think Zhang hit harder than josh did? Does Parker think wilder hit harder than josh?
                      whose this era shavers dammit?
