    AJ has more hype surrounding him and with any New Zealand/Australian fighter they never get the exposure they deserve not to mention they've produced some massive punchers in the past.

    I think Parker can stand upto Joshuas power and actually hurt Joshua pretty bad with his own.

    He has had less fights but with similar level competition.

      Damn.... I just heard that Thompson is targeting Anthony Joshua!!

      I'm not so confident that Joshua can get past The Tiger right now.

      If Joshua loses that 0, it could derail the Parker vs. Joshua war.

        I think this is winnable for Joshua as long as he doesnt go in thinking "this will be easy, hes old and fat..."

        Learn how to fight southpaws, learn to close the distance/cut off the ring, learn to fight inside. Thompson isnt that good, but he will mug you if you dont prepare properly.

        -----------------

        Parkers last fight



        He is developing a really good lead hand, still squares up too much when he attacks along the ropes.

          Wlad will be using Parker as one of his sparring partners during the Jennings camp. Once again he is sizing up his potential future opponents, just like he has done with Wilder and Joshua. Will also be a good learning experience for Parker.

            i believe it would be a fantastic fight as most opponents underestimate parkers power. it may not be as developed quite as much as joshuas yet but he is still very powerful. (just ask costa jr.) parker also has superior footwork and lightning quick handspeed. i dont believe joshua could corner parker or land his telegraphed power shots. parker is also improving faster with a very busy fight schedule. if joshua wants to have a chance beating parker he better do it fast before the young parker fills out more and improves his rapidly growing power

              Both good fighters; definitely a match in the making nearby future. JP may be better now however I favorite AJ. I think he has more potential with his style, technique and is patient. Whereas JP gets impatience sometimes and goes into sluggish mode where he gets a bit careless and is open easily for a counter.

                Joshua would be the favorite, but I think it really comes down to who lands the first big bomb.. Neither guy is very tested

                    after fighting whyte and showing stamina problems and just one good shot wobbled aj who was there for the taking i would parker would win the fight. parker has far superior movement to avoid and counter aj's power in the early rounds and parker has the arsonal to finish the fight in rounds 4 or 5. aj is carrying too much muscle and has very heavy legs wich will caus him problems agains the top level fighters who can handle and defend against his explosive power in the early rounds

                      Is it me, or does Parker remind you of a heavyweight version of Kosta tzysu... He has a lot of the same mannerisms
