Comments Thread For: Joshua: Parker Has No Ring Generalship - I'll Smash His Body!

[asgarth]

Never been in trouble as a teenager fighting the top amateurs taken big right hands from Klit in sparring and his stablemate Izu who is a big hitter. We will find out for sure but my money would be on him being one of if not the best chins in the division. Some people just take the punishment

Klitschko supposedly knocked wilder out during sparring, but has he actually a reputation to go all out in sparring and knocking fools down left and right? Sparring is sparring.
In the professional ranks he hasnt faced a pure puncher yet.
Hughie Fury is feather fisted, Andy Ruiz has good handspeed, but his KOs are coming by breaking down his opponents. Takam has average power.

Not getting knocked down in sparring isnt a testament for having a good chin, but looking from another perspective getting knocked down and hurt in sparring, amateur matches and professional bouts is evidence for a weak chin (Joshua).

Guys like Golovkin, Alvarez, Margarito, Mayweather, Danny Garcia have actually proven to have very good chins.

We will find out for certain but i think with all the experiences in his boxing life fighting proper men when he was a teenager to quality sparring against heavy hitters i'm confident he can take a shot much better than most.
