Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Confident: Charles Martin is Nothing Special!

The problem is the fans themselves.
Fans from NZ don't have much to crow about when it comes to boxing and since Parker has come onto the scene they have backed their man all the way. It's good to back your man but don't hype him up. I'm a Kiwi and see huge potential in him. Hand speed is probably the best in the division. Great Jab. Great combinations. Body punching is good. Footwork is good. He has some great tools but its easier to show those tools against poor opposition.
Anthony Joshua fans are the exact same way as the Parker fans. The dude can punch and is huge. Good jab. Huge right hand. He's also quite quick.
After the Whyte fight I think a lot of people have come back down to earth a little and realized he's not ready for Haye or Fury or Povetkin etc
But thats OK!!! Everyone keeps forgetting they are still learning their craft and aren't the finished product.
Both of them have the potential to be the top 2 in the division one day but that's not this year or even 2017.
Patience people. Let them get there in their own time.

I am a kiwi as well, but I understand how you develop a fighter.

And you are right about Joshua, for the exact same reason.

It is too early to be talking about a Haye/Joshua fight, even though Haye could be a little vulnerable right now.

Both of those guys are still developing and need more seasoning.
