Aj proved stamina isn't an issue and he....

[Silky-Flow]

Parker isn't world level that's why, he's a B+ fighter barely ahead of the likes of Fury, Takam, Ruiz other B level guys.

Ortiz and Wilder's power would've had a much more stamina draining effect on AJ and their power is more than enough to keep him honest/hurt him.

But isn't that true for all fighters? I mean does anyone really believe that Deontay survives If AJ had him in trouble like he was against Ortiz? I don't think so.

Sparring sessions are more intense than that. It was no test of stamina.

Can win BY PURE SKILL rather than just rely on a single right hand. I actually think this experience will be good for him in the long run. He knows he still has things to work on, unlike Wilder who's ko of Ortiz simply covered the cracks of what actually took place In the fight.

AJ just beat a fellow undefeated champion who was younger than him and just as motivated to win. Wilder faced a highly skilled but old Ortiz who had had one fight In fifteen months before facing him. So imo neither Wilder or AJ were more impressive than the other during their last two fights and using those respective performances to determine a winner is futile.

You are saying the truth.

Parker is just an ordinary run of the mill fighter, he's a brawler without power. Ortiz on the other hand is a boxer-puncher and a southpaw, he's very skilled and never gets into brawls he picks guys apart with traps and counters. Finding a quality southpaw as good as Ortiz was, as powerful, and a guy his size that isn't a pure brawler is very very very rare.

AJ's style would change completely vs the power of both men, if you think his work rate was low in this fight it'd be even lower vs Ortiz/Wilder. And there were some shots here and there especially to the body that would've hurt AJ had they come from either man.

Parker would be much harder to hit than Ortiz. As soon as old man Ortiz started gassing, Wilder finally caught up with him. Parker has way better stamina and speed than Ortiz. He's also a lot younger and just as big. Parker would have been a difficult fight for Deontay if he fought with the same defensive style that he used against Joshua.

Ruiz, Takam, Fury had an EASY time finding Parker's chin.



Ortiz was not "gassing" he was HURT, Wilder dropped him in rounds 2 and 5. Wilder was landing more and more, every single shot he hits you with takes something out of you, whether it's your will, stamina, or focus.

It's a lot easier finding a guy's chin when they aren't fighting defensively. Parker's main fight plan was to protect his chin. He was more concerned about being KO'd than he was about putting the hurt on Joshua. He didn't fight Joshua like he fought Takam and Ruiz.

Ortiz was definitely gassed. He's never been a fast paced, high work-rate type of fighter. Having said that, Wilder did a good job in that fight. I think he fought well and he survived some very rough spots. I like both Wilder and Joshua. Hopefully we can get to see that match up before one of them loses.
