Comments Thread For: Parker: I Want Anthony Joshua Next - I Want To Test His Chin!

[lefthooklead]

Not really sure how Joseph Parker is going to test Joshua's chin any more than Klitschko did... especially when you consider that Klitschko is a much harder puncher than Parker who since his step up hasn't managed to stop 1 single opponent?

Klitschko doesn't throw combinations other than a 1-2 really, and he had ZERO counter punching ability. Whenever he's attacked he simply tries to tie up and hold rather than throw anything back.

Parker would have a chance of landing if he could get in range and let his hands go. He has relatively quick hands and does throw combinations when he can. He'd have to take a bunch throughout though so we'd see how good his chin was.

I'm not that big on him and AJ should win but there are some interesting factors I think.

This would be a good fight but AJ really got to come at the weight for the Whyte fight. He was able to keep up the pace besides 30 seconds in the 2nd round after he got buzzed.

I agree, I really think that Parker has a big shot at upsetting AJ here who is becoming beyond overrated like he's the next coming of Ali. Which would be hilarious to laugh at Hearn and all of these sudden businessmen here protecting their roided God, but it'd suck for Wilder to miss yet another big fight.

I understand that people always feel the need to take sides, and AJ has been elevated to a crazy level based on popularity and his performances... BUT, how exactly is he becoming 'beyond' overrated?

He's the one who became a world champ in his 18th fight. He's the Olympic gold medalist. He's the guy who stopped Wlad. He's the only boxer in the world consistently selling 75k+ tickets.

Wilder has done absolutely nothing that matches one of those facts.

I like both fighters, they look good, talk well, have KO power and look vulnerable... why can't people just focus on the positives and stop all the bull****.

100% truth

I think Joseph Parker is being disrespected here. If he was American and has a big mouth he would likely be elevated to a different status. He has a good chance at beating Joshua. I know Joshua KO everyone so far but i really think Parker has a really chance of outfoxing him over 12 rounds.

Ok. But AJ still need to fight wilder. He is still the obvious opponent.

There's some truth to this definitely. But people forget that this isn't a sport, this is prize fighting, it's about who can bring the most to the table... and boring, humble New Zealander's ain't gonna be big draws in boxing.

Parker was losing tons of rounds to Takam, Ruiz & Fury... No way he outboxes AJ.
