    At this point and time Joshua destroys him. He just seems to be better at everything.

      Joshua is feeding on his physical power, bully the guy to the ropes and unleash punches on him like a punch bag. What happen's when he fights someone as big and cant bully back like that? He's a one trick pony and open to get KO'd from a straight one-two.

      Also intrigued how you think Olesandr Usyk would do if he came up to Heavyweight

        Intriguing match up. Joshua looks to be more well-rounded: his footwork is improving with each fight; he is boxing behind the jab; his guard looks pretty tight; and, of course, he has real power in that right hand!

        That said, I can't shake the thought that Parker will stand up to shots better than Joshua. There's an element of doubt, much like that I had with Price (yes, I'm aware they are two different beasts), that Joshua has a 'suspect' chin. However, like Wlad, that may not be important if he continues to be matched well and retains a disciplined approach.

          Anthony Joshua would be far to much For Parker,he's simply better in each department and would probably knock him out.

            Joshua looks more talented. Physically hes a beast and he has all the right attributes to be a very good HW. Hes still has a way to go though. Still seems open to counters, and still looks a little stiff. Yet to be seen how his stamina holds up past a few rounds

            That said Parker seems the smoother, better boxer at this moment. He goes well to body and head, and throws crisper tighter combos. Stamina is tested up to 8 rnds (i think), and hes taken a few shots without showing to much to worry about (though his defence is pretty lapse at times as well.

            Atm this is pretty much impossible to predict so im just gonna enjoy their rides until they fight or one falls away.

              Joshua looks better right now, but he's older and has had more extensive amateur experience.

              If you take into consideration the age difference, they probably have close to equal potential.

                Parker has been boxing since he was kid though i think, whereas Joshua only started at 18

                  I prefer watching Parker. Looks smoother and more fluid with his combinations to body and head. Think he has the advantage in hand speed too.

                    Thread tools bro!

                    I think Parker is the more skilled of the two at this point and if he could take AJs power then I think he'd beat him.. I think AJ has the most potential of the two tho!

                    Side note I wonder does AJ have a solid chin?
