I think it would be more appropriate if you based your approximation of Parker's chances in this fight off of more than one fight. I'd recommend watching his last 5-6 and then also how his style matches up with AJ
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah it would, which is why I qualified my comment and conceded I may be underestimating Parker on that performance.

To me Parker looked cumbersome and even though he was aggressive in much of his work, he wasn't clean. Now I appreciate that was against an opponent who had a strategy to fight off the back foot and counter, a strategy AJ certainly won't be employing. However, if AJ remains light and nimble (relatively speaking) then Parker has a couple of choices; trade with him (inadvisable), counter or outbox him.

Perhaps your point is that he's successful fought off the back foot in the past or that he has skill that I've not witnessed. But neither his hand nor foot speed looked impressive (again, relatively speaking) to me.

Your point is taken though and I'll probably watch a bit more of Parker as the fight approaches.

I was very impressed with Parker up until two fights ago... the Razvan Cojanu fight was disapointing, the vs Hughie Fury I just didn't see anything that I had seen a couple of years ago, though I put that down to the fact that he didn't really have to bring his a game

Looks like Price Povetkin undercard. Tasty

However i read fury had to fight povetkin (only top 5 fighter available) by april or he gets stripped of ring belt?

The term British Horizontal Heavyweight was made for Price. You cannot train two things leading up to a fight,the chin and the heart and that Scouse lump has lacked both too often.

David Price

remember when people were thinking he'd be the next heavyweight superchamp ?

and then those 2 loses to fat 40yr old Tony Thompson exposed him

I actually think his problem is an incredible lack of stamina rather than a v suspect chin

Never seen a bloke who looks in such good shape gas so quickly as Price....Often wonder if he has a medical condition or at least a major genetic predisposition to running out of energy quickly

Joshua close to angry

Parker isn't very good. However, AJ is not this 'elite' fighter either.
