Parker is the danny Garcia of the heavyweights

[The Big Dunn]

what the hell are you on about. i didnt even post on the site at that time, and for the record i thought garcia would win.

Sure you did.

Sure you did.

yes. i will happily admit ones ive got wrong in the past before being on this site, but i predicted garcia to win and dont see how it was a tough one to see. if you cant beat a shot judah and devon alexander, youre not a world beater.

Parker has had close fights with guys who weren't that good and he is the underdog. He has never lost and slowly but steadily improved. He has fast hands, a decent punch and a high punch per round average. He has never been down or hurt. He might give AJ more trouble than expected or even score the upset win. We will know in a few days how good he is or isn't.

Parker didn't impress in his last few and I feel he's a bit underrated because of it. Those were step ups so I do get where the criticism stems.
He's been carrying injuries and been a bit heavy.

He looks the best I've seen him in recent training footage. I'm expecting the best JP to turn up.

I think because he's not been at 100% people have forgot what he can do and the talent he has.

I completely agree.

I think Joshua wins by late stoppage, but expect him to get soundly outboxed in a few rounds along the way. Parker moves well, and is durable. He is also more offensive than someone like Takam, who made Joshua miss a lot. I think Joshua will be better than he was against Takam, which is why I'm picking him.

Parker is a former UNIFIED and two division World Champion?!?

Matthysse is no slouch, he took down Soto, a tough fighter, and was arguably unbeaten before getting in with Garcia

Did you actually agree with the scoring in those fights? I think most would agree Mattheyse deserves both. He won more rounds (certainly a minimum of 5 of 10 but probably 6 against Alexander) and scored a knockdown and closed stronger in both. He also improved after them and was very impressive against Peterson and Soto.

I like Danny but thought Mattheyse was going to beat him I'll admit that. It's a great win for Garcia IMO.

I just want to see a HW division that isn't full of bums and has at least one great talent.

The 40 year old past-prime fossils gave the younger guys hell, and Parker....where to even start? Vacant title, barely squeezing by .....

[Shrap]

How is that an insult? Danny is an excellent fighter. He is inconsistent, yes, but he's proven he can hang with the best of them when it counts.
