Comments Thread For: Parker's Trainer: Joshua's Stamina is Lacking, Chin is Suspect

Very interesting. I've been saying for a while that AJ has never fought a mover or an agile awkward guy and will really struggle when he does. He always has guys stand right in front of him, and does well when they do.

This is why I think Tyson Fury would run rings around him. Even Hughie would cause him major issues if he upped his work rate.

You're spot on Joshua has struggled with movement noticibly since the mihai nistor fight he was first smaller fighter to unravel Nd fluster Joshua. As a brit myself AJ seems to be a pure sky marketing posterboy. I rate the furys highly on top of that I would love to see a heavyweight usyk fight aj would be a boxing lesson by the Ukrainian.

Can Parker take a shot?. If so he could scrap a decision.

He can definitely take a shot, he's never been rocked or down in his amature career or pro career. And not even during sparring either.

If you watch the Ruiz footage, ruiz lands flush a couple of times and parker just takes it and moves forward.

Good point, i think there was one round..probably the 3rd or 4th when Ruiz smashed him hard right on the jaw. He seemed a bit dazed for the briefest moment and was back on his game right away. He's a tough customer and can take big shots but i don't know if he can keep getting hit by someone as strong as Joshua and not let it affect his performance. He's bound to get hit and jabbed all day because of the reach advantage AJ would have. So he'll probably try lunge forward and catch AJ with a big right...never know what he'd walk into. Wilder too has some power in his right and that might be a big problem for Parker.

Also for some reason his power seems to have gone missing. For example, Dimitrenko seemed hurt every single time he was hit by JP. He showed a lot of power and aggression in that fight. Ever since he's struggled. Wonder what's causing this inconsistency.

exactly.

Anyone who does weight training to any degree of seriousness (like 4 times+ a week) would look at AJ and say yeah, that body IS perfectly attainable naturally, especially with his lifestyle.

If he was going to be on anything it wouldn't be anabolic steroids, it'd be a stamina enhancer and he CLEARLY isn't on that.

You're ****ing delusional

Pretty fair assessment.

To true eating punches like that from Aj might be a whole other issue to deal with

he would have learn to duck and weave better.

Who knows it's strange that's certain he normally fights 5 times a year?

He and his traine realise he was to big in the Hughie fight and it's slowed him down so rather than taking a fight in december there gonna do a training camp to try and get him to a leaner size, more closed to when he fought Dimitrenko

Yep. Anyone with good movement, good defence and who has decent enough power will cause him issues.

Ring IQ and creativity is what AJ lacks and Mr Billboard will be found out if and when that happens. The politics in the sport and in life means that he has every advantage though and there's likely to be some very disputed things going on down the line. He's the golden boy of boxing for the elites and a walking corporation.
