Keep putting gasoline into the fire, Parker will only suffer more.

I'm a Parker fan (by nationality) but I agree with Hearn that they seem to be underestimating Joshua's boxing ability and conditioning, he's no Lennox Lewis but he's not a dumb guy and has some game.
Parker needs to be better not tougher , I'm not sure Parker is tougher and he's not better, it's all uphill , switch it up Joe, inside the ring that is

How can you say that your a fan but not know that both Barry and parker have said putting on the extra was a bad idea to which now they are back tracking on and trying to get parker back down to the weight he was at the demintrinko fight due to his loss off speed.

And your damn right Aj ain't no Lewis, and from what Aj has been saying on his social media he could do with some more brains.

I do wish that Barry would play the sly fox and just be quite and let team Aj talk and underrate his fighter so they take him lightly.

Aj has all the cards already lol definitely the favourite but parker has a better chance than most people will give him and an even better chance if he can get speed back into his boxing

Maybe Parker and his team know something we don't know.... At any rate I expect AJ to wipe him out. But I can't imagine the fall out on boxing scene if Parker did upset Joshua.....

I don't really follow team parker on social media , Kevin Barry and honest Joe aren't Mr entertainment so I just see what I see when he fights, and yes the Dimitrenko fight is about the last time he looked sharp and moved well, he's not a huge puncher he needs that fast movement at the waist he had shown , it brings angles and makes him a less perfect hittable size for a slightly taller fighter with much more reach

Rude awakening indeed.. "13million pounds... This easily?! Rude"

But seriously. It would be a huge upset if Parker stayed in the fight more than 6 rounds. He really has nothing going on for him skillwise. Atleast not at the top. Joshua SHOULD easily box the whyte out of Parker, and KO him. But then again, Greece has an Eurocup championship from 2004, so anything can happen..

ppl keep telling joshua is no lewis and i agree with that, he is better . boxing is evolving just like soccer, basketball and other sports. if u want proof just watch some fights of lomachenko, almost impossible to compare him to anyone from the past.

i dont see how some people here give parker zero chance and say hes unskilled ?? hes got very good speed and boxing skills with a pretty good fast jab.

Parker is definitely being underrated here, but... he doesn't have very good speed. He did have very good speed until he put on too much weight and his trainer has acknowledged this; the trouble is Joshua's trainer has also acknowledged the same with regards to Joshua and he too is apparently slimming down (recent video showed him at 240pounds) so i'm not too sure speed is going to be that much of a factor. If Joshua still comes in at around 250 whilst Parker has slimmed down it can definitely be a factor, but honestly i'd expect that Joshua will come in around the same weight he did against Breazeale.

Both fighters weights will be crucial with regards to how this fight goes as obviously if Parker comes in light and Joshua doesnt he should be able to move in and out of range to jab and frustrate Joshua, else Joshua has a 6inch reach advantage which is more than enough to take Parker's jab away from him.
