I think you need to watch fight again and yes guys get worse if they are not in BOXING shape cmon that's pretty obv.

I dont have to watch anything its a FACT you gain stamina in the ACTUAL rnds , IN RING experience .Joshua is ALWAYS in boxing shape its about gradual accustom to what weight he should be ....at 28 he should be about 245 .

Wilder is kind of an outlier himself..he is somewhat a freak physically, awesome genetics. If he had the skills of a Lennox Lewis, pff shit.

But didnt mike at his best usually come in at around 218-220? Wilder is closer to 228 or so right?

Yea Tyson looked best around 216/220 but weighted as high as 239 in some fights if I remember correctly. Wilder weighed 220 against Stiverne rematch.. He weighs between 216 and 222 for fights. Because he's so light for a heavyweight, he has amazing stamina. Other than his right hand it's his best attribute but people never really give him credit for his stamina. I've never seen him look gassed or tired.

Interesting, I always thought he was 225-228. Id agree he does have very good stamina for a HW, he carries his power all the way through a fight. My criticism of him has always been his amateurish skills. Its to bad the eddie futch's and Manny Stewards of the world are gone. They could make a masterpiece with the raw talent.

He is fun to watch for sure but until someone can teach him elite skills he wont go far imo, old man Ortiz may expose him. Time will tell.

Well he don't run or move around the ring have you seen him fight?And you have way to much confidence in Joshua.If Takam went 10 what the heck makes you think Parker is doomed to an early KO.Esp since he has not been dropped or even really hurt YET and beat Takam.

Parker couldn't even knock Takam down in their fight. On top of that, AJ was basically winning every round against Takam. Can't say the same about Parker.

Yea heavyweights these days are huge.. On average way bigger than they've ever been. But it's all genetics.. Mike Tyson was 5ft 11 but he weighed more than Deontay Wilder who's a giant at 6ft 7... But both guys were/are shredded.

Difference is that Tyson was like that in his upper and lower body. Wilder is lean more than muscle.

He's 6-7 and around 225-230. There are basketball and football players bigger than that. Both Klitschko and Joshua are bigger than that.

Wilder did bulk up on purpose for a period when he fought Molina, Szpilka and Duhaupas and was coming in at 227-228lbs. But his weight has dropped back down since, he weighted 222lbs and 220lbs in his last 2 fights and has weighted below 225lbs for the majority of his fights.

He's just bit of a bean pole. Everyone mocks his skinny legs but I've seen videos of him squatting so it's not like he neglects them, I just think he's naturally very thin.

He's probably the most naturally gifted fighter at heavyweight. It's a shame he'll never reach his full potential, it's too late now for him to fix all his flaws. And yes the Ortiz fight is a very tough fight for Wilder, it's a more competitive fight than Joshua/Parker for me.

Parker is going to get killed

I'm not saying Parker is as good as AJ but other poster thinks its a sure early KO.And was pointing out AJ did not KO Takam early and at 255 has no stamina.If he comes in lighter like some reports are saying240-45 then he is a whole other animal.If he comes in at 55 or more he better HOPE he gets an early KO.Because Parker has yet to show week chin.

He looks a lot slimmer in his recent interview.. Will be interesting to see how he performels s back at this low weight.. I think he's gonna look his career best against Parker.

He may be able to move in and out of close range better against his opponents. Add that with his power and he may end up looking his best like you said

I think AJ wins against Parker, but I sense some immense fear in AJ since there is a rematch clause in the contract.
