No he is 2015 Ring magazine heavyweight prospect of the year.
Not just prospect.

No he isn't

So he is legit because he was a finalist for a magazine award?

Anthony Joshua was 2014 prospect of the year, so by your reasoning that makes him better than Parker because he actually won the award not just finaled

Hyped or not, a prospect is a prospect. Just ask David Price

Dont let the facts get in the way of a good story lol

Funny but Parker is not ready for Joshua yet.

Agreed !

But, nowhere near convinced that Joshua is ready for Parker yet either.

Both guys would be taking a step up.

That fight would be great, but it will be better down the line if/when both are top contenders.

Yea, it's just an award.

It was an educated guess.

But to be fair, Joshua has always been further-along than Parker imho, and he has faced better competition.

But it's possible that neither of those things would mean **** if they fought now. It's about how their styles would mesh.

It could be short night for either of them.

That is one fight I don't mind passing on, for now.

I back Parker, but I don't think he's ready for that fight just yet.

Parker takes 8 rounds to put away daniel martz

Joshua takes 2 rounds to put away Kevin johnson

both have poor defence but joshuas offence is far superior

i pick joshua

Josh will be fighting the African Cameroonian wotsisname again who lost to povetkin.
Haye was fighting Carl Thompson after9 fights. Sure hate lost, but he wasn't training too serious at that time. Josh has been, left no stone unturned

I don't know anything about Parker, really. Is he any good?

Yeah, I just dont understand how everyone seems so sure these two will end up fighting for a world title. This is boxing, nothing is guaranteed

He shows potential but i've seen nothing to get too carried away with yet.
