    I would pick Joshua to win over Parker. I think most would. But that's just right now, I definitely think Parker has the tools to reach a very high level. He's got good natural ability. I think Joshua has been in with slightly better opposition so far though.

    I'm edging towards Joshua, but Parker is definitely not far behind.
    It's funny you mention Hughie Fury. The guy has all but fallen off the radar. He's been inactive since May this year. It's surprising since he fought 12 times last year. Is he injured?

      He has some kind of illness.

      Tyson's younger brother is fighting now, but he's not nearly as good.

        Wasn't it his dad who recently just passed away?

        Not sure, but i think it was, the same reason why Tyson Fury had to pull out of the Ustinov fight.

        So maybe he hasn't fought in a while coz his dad wasn't well and has since passed away.

          Hughie Fury 14-0 (8) has had to withdraw from the Tyson Fury-Dereck Chisora II undercard on July 26 due to illness. The 19-year-old was hoping to build on a career best win against Danny Hughes, 12-3-2 (3) in his last fight but the effects of a currently undiagnosed condition have forced him out of action. “He’s suffering with fatigue, headaches, nausea and stomach pains,” Peter Fury, Hughie’s father and trainer explained to BoxingScene.com. “He’s had these symptoms for four years but they are getting worse. Until we can find out what he has we’ll be keeping him out of the ring.”

              i think parker will be put infront of the wrong opponent in the next half a dozen fights and get beaten.
              joshua is managed better and has slightly better speed and power
              would love to see them fight in the next few years.

                  Yeah he's had an illness, and fought his last couple of fights nowhere near 100% - he looked bad imo vs Danny Hughes, but still managed to win every round and it was clear he wasn't at his best.

                  Hughie's jab is really good - honestly, other than Wlad I don't see anyone who has a decisively better jab than Hughie in the division. His jab is like a Holmes jab, quick and snappy and he uses it well. He's a world class talent and will become a world class fighter before long.

                  The man who passed away was 'tall' Hughie's uncle, Hughie. They have 4-5 Hughie's in the family, even 'Young' Fury's real name is also Hughie. And they have Hughie Dempsey Fury too (3-0 as a pro light heavyweight). Good fighters' names they have the Fury bunch.

                  'Tall' Hughie's father is their trainer, Peter Fury.

                    Speaking of Hughie, I'd love to see him and Joshua fight one day.

                      Yeah, but as Tyson Fury once said, Joshua is Tyson's age and Hughie is 19 or 20.
