    Skillwise i would say Parker but Joshua is more of a physical beast so far.

        Joshua is the more likely to be a dominant and long-reigning champ - he has all the tools. Parker might be slightly more skilled but Joshua is constantly improving and has physical advantages which can't be taught, and probably has the pure power edge on Parker too. Would be a great fight though, down the line.

          Parker has the more fluid combos and handspeed. Let's see if he can keep it up as his level of opposition increases.

            Joshua.... he made Johnson look like a CHILD.

            A man that went 12 rounds with Vitali looked like a little boy. Think about it.

                Out of those 2 probably Joshua.

                Overall probably Fury.

                He fought Vitali 6 years ago and he's like 1-4 in his last few fights. Johnson isn't even trying nowadays.

                  No offense but to me Tyson Fury doesn't seem to be in the same league as these guys. I could be wrong but they appear to have much higher upside than he does.

                    They're all around the same age and Fury has wins over consistently better opposition than the other twenty-something HWs do.

                    That's all I'm going by. He does look clumsy in the ring but so do the rest of these super tall guys.
