Anthony Joshua or Joseph Parker...Who's the better prospect??

[VatoMulatto]

Both of them look very promising....but who's the better prospect?? I'd say Anthony Joshua.

[HughJass]

Parker for sure.

[The Hammer]

Anthony Joshua is clearly better.

It's too early to tell IMO. Both guys have fought decent opposition early on and have looked impressive. What's gonna separate the two is - who can perform better under pressure against a determined and skilled opponent. Both guys have not been tested yet, so the jury is still out

I think Joshua is more polished at the moment but Parker is the 1A in terms of prospects over the next couple years. Joshua's size and style may mean a longer run but the peak for Parker might be better. Like them both. a lot.

I see a rivalry building.

AJ...has a better jab I think and is physically stronger and bigger...just has more likely potential to be dominant champ in the future.

Parker is good though...hopefully these two guys will have a good rivalry in the future.

I actually think Parker has a better jab.

ITs more fluid and he can throw it a few different ways.

Josh's is improving though.

I think between the two Joshua's physicality is what sets him apart. His height, length, size and strength are very imposing for the level of fighter hes facing atm.

Im very excited about both going forward, hopefully see them in the ring one day!

Joshua probably gets further on his size, intimidation factor and power but I think Parker might have the higher ceiling. Hes a lot younger, has a better jab, more fluid, he has better upper body movement.

I can see why people are so high on Joshua hes a likeable, good looking, superhero looking fighter with impressive speed for such a big man and he hasn't put a foot wrong yet. I just feel hes a bit stiff, he doesn't really rotate his hips, he looks too raw for me to get behind, hes novicey.
A lot of comparisons to Wladimir and Lennox but he reminds me more of an inexperienced Frank Bruno - which isn't a bad thing.

We're talking about three years. That's not a lot younger They are both young fighters

I just personally think AJs jab is better as it seems be more damaging and he can quickly set up power shots behind it. Parker's jab is perhaps more fluid but it seems to not have as much pop on it as AJ. Really depends on how you define a punch to be 'better', for me, Parker's ATM is more of a point scoring and range finding quick jab that he pumps out, but AJ's is more effective in terms of it getting through and really hitting through the target...from his fights it always seems like once that jab gets through he has that opening for the big shot and more often than not it's been pretty much over in the fights once that lands. Just my opinion though.
