Comments Thread For: Trainer: Parker, Not Klitschko, Will Be Biggest Test for Joshua

[4truth]

If his trainer had said anything else, he should be fired.

Wlad used Parker as sparring partner and played with him. Parker never got away from Wlad‘s jab.

Where do you get this info from. I have never seen it reported. Were you in the camp?

There all daft as a brush down under they claim jeff horn is p4p n1 parker better than all time great klitschko danny green must be considerd up there with robinson and ali when in reality they have never had one elite fighter ever even tiny little wales out do them with calzaghe even lee selby better than any fighter ever to come from that part of the world stick to surfing and throwing another shrimp on the barby

He's not better than ATG klitchko, but he is more of threat to aj than withered legged, 41 year old, beaten klitchko

AJ also didn't or "hasn't got half of the experience that Wladimir had" but he still beat him in devastating fashion! So why all of a sudden more "experience" is such a big part of this? Imo, Parkers lack of power or some secret injury he's not disclosing in order to still get paid may be the deciding factors in this fight, not being devoid of skills or trying to pull some rank in some preferred experience against a faded champ.

AJ is no slouch in the skilz dept., plus he's very BIG powerful & YOUNG, that said, Wlads primary "go to" defence and bail out tactic in ALL his fights was a horrendous 1-2 clinchfest. Wlad against Josh attempted a whole new style against the bigger guy - a hands down herky jerky style - at 41 - coming off an embarrassing gun shy loss (over a year before) against a good fighter who's not as powerful as Joshua. On paper, the bigger, stronger, gold medalist winning against the older clinchy "former" champ was not that surprising, The "experience" however was good though.

Parker will most importantly be in his PRIME, confident, a CHAMP, a good mover, not trying anything new (hopefully) in terms of overall style, and also importantly he'll be humble! Again, the punching power doesnt "seem" to be there though (we may all be surprised what the elbow surgeries have done for the power!). AJ believes he can "get him outta there" around 7-8, he better not get that overconfident David Haye vs Bellew complex because Parker can make it worse for AJ than Bellew did for Haye......imo, AJ's toughest test to date.

Browne is a fat old bouncer with no boxing talent. He was rubbish when he was young and fit.

Browne is one of the few fighters in the world that could make even whyte look good.

Parker LOVES the taller robotic fighters like Joshua. Always brutally KOs this type

Parker by KO

[pollywog]

I thought Browne had a punchers chance against Whyte but that was before I saw him step into the ring...

It was never gonna end pretty for him based off the eye test!
