What are your thoughts on Joseph Parker?

[sicko]

Of all the up-and-coming heavyweights, I think Parker is the most promising. As others have stated he's got good hand speed, tremendous power and a decent amount of skill. Also, he's got a ferocious 'killer instinct' that many fighters lack today. People tout Bryant Jennings as a future champion but I think Parker is a more likely canidate

YES! I see that Killer Instinct As Well! I notice when he gets hits with a good shot he really comes forward and starts to let his hands go with POWER.

He's way too small for heavyweight. I don't see him doing well once he steps up in competition.

Too Small? He is about 6-4 230lbs

Here is him next to Wlad, that is Small?

the kid has the goods, great hand speed as said here for a heavyweight and he can punch , way better opponents than Joshua hes auctually fought live opponents for someone so young just hope hes not overly rushed ,ive got tickets to see him fight here in nz in august so will be the first time seeing him live and looking forward to it.

I live in NZ so I'm very familiar with him. He's a decent prospect but not as spectacular as some claim. Most of his opponents have been very underwhelming. His defence is not good, don't know how his chin is. Size wise he's not a large heavyweight, bone structure etc. Physical strength not top level, power good but not devestating.

He's "decent" to me. Joshua would beat him tomorrow.

He looks small next to wlad. Joshua is the same size as wlad, wilder and fury are bigger than wlad.

Point is its not like he's going to be able to trade on size at the top end, most of his opponents to this point have been smaller than him

[SN!PER]

He's bigger than Povetkin, a guy who's almost unstoppable at the moment.

Plus Parker is Samoan and only 23 years old, he is still growing more muscle.

A young Tua was like 220 lbs. and got up to about 245 lbs. at age 30.

Wilder is taller than Wlad but he's also 25 lbs lighter (220 vs 245)

Joseph is big enough and plenty aggressive but when I watch him he just looks too raw to reign without getting caught. He BADLY loads up on his right hand before throwing it. You can see it coming from a mile away every time.
